The last time I saw Booker Davis was when he popped my cherry.
He was confident, arrogant and annoyingly gorgeous. It didn’t help that he was oh so good in the sack. Who can forget your first time?
Twelve years later, he is now the CEO of the company I work for.
Still arrogant and annoying – but this time, I have to work with him to keep my job.
And now, he wants private office rendezvous.
But I can’t go there.
Because if there is one thing I learned from my divorce, no woman can change a playboy.
Starting over is never easy.
Especially when your new boss is your ex-lover that ghosted you.

My Favorite Boss, Book 1 of the Favorite Billionaires series, was about Charlotte Brown and her childhood nemesis, Booker Davis. Booker and Charlotte had known each other all their lives. Not only were their respective parents rivals in the entertainment industry, but they had also been feuding for years (long before our main characters were born, but no one remembered what started the feud), and so they grew up being enemies at best. However, at one point ten years before the story began, Booker and Charlotte had an intimate encounter where he deflowered her, only to ghost her without explanation for the next ten years. Neither were celibate in the time between their "one night stand" and the time they met up again. Booker was a prolific playboy, and Charlotte had been married for two years before divorcing her cheating (ex) husband. Because she had chosen to divorce the man rather than forgive him, her parents had disowned her and blocked her from seeing any of her siblings. Because of that, she had moved in with her aunt in New York and was desperate to find a job to help pay her way, even though her aunt never required her to do so. She eventually got a call for an interview with a network as a paid intern, only to learn that her boss would be Booker. Suffice it to say, he didn't make the job easy on her and, not long after she started working for him, they ended up in bed together, although to be fair, they were both quite drunk the first time to fall back into bed. However, no matter how many times she said it couldn't happen again, it did...repeatedly. (She suffered from that dreaded Betraying Body Syndrome.) However, too often Booker would have an inner monologue where he would say he was just using her and that she was nothing more than a "plaything...a toy to use". As their working relationship developed, so did their personal time together. No matter how hard they tried, neither Booker nor Charlotte could keep their hands off each other. Many times their respective parents tried to interfere with their relationship, and each time they would put them in their places. There was much more to this story that I won't divulge, for it would take too long and it would spoil the whole thing to do so. Suffice it to say, it was a very long, drawn-out book that had way too much drama and angst. The emotional rollercoaster ride was full of twists and turns, many of which curdled the stomach. While it had the potential to be an awesome book, there was so much fluff n stuff that it detracted from the actual romance of the story. It could easily have ended with half as many chapters if the author had done enough proofreading and editing. Sadly, that wasn't the case. This book had so many grammatical errors that I almost stopped reading it before I even reached Chapter 5. There were words dropped, misspellings, wrong word choices, etc. It was more than irritating, especially as it's so easy to edit and proofread these days. The errors and mistakes got pretty frustrating the further I read because they didn't stop. They continued to worsen instead. There was also a tremendous amount of redundancy and repetition that was mind-bogglingly terrible. The book was oddly broken up into five smaller books within the book, each one containing ten chapters. The book was long and drawn out, with too much introspection and arguing that was totally unnecessary. The way each of the main characters kept bringing up the past, how their respective parents' marriages had shaped them into the people they were got old PDQ. There was too much focus on the mysterious family feud that never, and I mean NEVER got explained. The feud dominated the entire story from beginning to the very end without ever having been resolved. Booker seemed to be more of a Beta male than an alpha, and Charlotte was somewhat of an alpha heroine. It was an odd choice for the author to make in these two characters. Booker had issues with both of his parents, and although he was an adult nearing thirty, he was a pushover for them controlling every aspect of his life. Charlotte wasn't much better, but at least she sometimes managed to put her parents in their place whenever they tried to meddle in her life. To sum up the review, it was emotionally exhausting to read this story, and not in a good way. It felt like wading through quicksand and only managing to get further bogged down. I couldn't see the merit in giving the book more than a two-star rating. Should the author manage to do either a rewrite or a better job at editing the story, I might consider changing it, but sadly, I don't see that ever happening.
