Under Her by Samantha Towle
I’m used to being in charge. In and out of the office.
So, when my parents go behind my back and hire a co-CEO to help me manage my family’s business, let’s just say, I don’t take it too well.Especially not when the woman they’ve hired is the one girl who hated my guts in college. She thinks I’m an overprivileged, womanizing man-whore. I think she’s an uptight, stuck-up bitch. And, now, she’s here, in my office, telling me how to run my company.
I don’t think so.It doesn’t matter that she has legs that go on for days or that I keep imagining bending her over my desk and showing her just how bossy I can be. I’ve worked my ass off and paid my dues to get to where I am, and she’s not taking it from me.No freaking way.
Morgan Stickford is about to learn the hard way that Wilder Cross is the only boss around here.

The book is fairly funny with some of the lines from Wilder. Wilder is a wild card and I'm surprised he is still a player at his age. During her "flashbacks", Morgan does mention how she is in love with him, altough at the time in college, he didn't really "know" her, and she thought he was an arse, but she loved him without really knowing him??? The story started to get cheesy so I skimmed. It could have been a good storyline, but you knew who the culprit was at the end, and the ending just made me feel like Morgan was a doormat, forgiving him so easy. No real epilogue into their future either. It was a cute book but glad it was short!!
Under Her was about 31-year-old Wilder Cross and 31-year-old Morgan Stickford, co-CEOs of Under Her Lingerie.
A month after his parents announced their upcoming retirement, Wilder had been expecting to take over as the CEO of the family company. Imagine his surprise when he walked into his office one morning to find his parents there and told him they had hired another CEO to work side-by-side with him as co-CEO. They told him he only had a day before the new person would join him in taking on the new, shared CEO role. But, even worse was the fact they had hired someone he knew from his college days, someone he considered to have been "an uptight, stuck-up b*tch". What his parents didn't know (and he didn't inform them) was that Wilder didn't plan on "sitting back and just taking it". No, he planned on fighting it "every step of the way", as he informed his two closest friends after learning of his parents' decision.
Unfortunately for Wilder, he got plastered that night, causing him to be late for work. Added to his misery was the fact that he had a one-night stand with an unknown woman...and she had left a message written in ink on the back of his shirt that his parents and new co-CEO found before he did. It was clear to everyone in the office that Wilder had hooked up with a strange woman the previous night, and that the woman wanted another go at him. (This was a bad thing since his executive assistant had lied to his parents about why he was almost two hours late for work.) And no, he was not celibate after reconnecting with Morgan. He still did his one-night stands, but they were getting less enjoyable because he was becoming more obsessed with Morgan. His first hook-up after seeing Morgan in the office ended with him feeling...guilty. His interest in his new coworker was even beginning to interfere with his weekend brunches with his two besties because while he wasn't getting any, he didn't want to hear about their bedroom activities either.
Wilder had a new dilemma following his sex-free weekend. He met Morgan's new PA...who just so happened to be the woman who wrote the note on the back of his shirt. But on top of that, Sierra started to SA Wilder. Morgan even caught them (innocent on Wilder's side...not so innocent on Sierra's) together in his office in a compromising embrace. After that scene, things between Wilder and Morgan got cold again, with them both resorting to petty acts of mean-spirited pranks.
When the first business deal that Morgan came up with for the company went south, and Wilder believed she was the one who screwed his company over, he fired her on the spot. Things got resolved, but off-page at the end of the story, but it wasn't a cohesive ending. It felt as if the author just wanted to end the story and do it as quickly as possible.
The angst and drama were difficult to understand because none of it was necessary. It was like reading a poorly written story on Wattpad. The emotional rollercoaster didn't have the usual twists and turns, but rather it went from a kiddie ride to a leap off the highest cliff with no hope of survival. Even the spicy scenes were awkward.
This book was a bit baffling in the way it was written. I've rarely ever read a romance novel that was written mostly from the MMC's POV, starting with the first five chapters. Any time the book switched to Morgan's POV, starting with Chapter 6, they were each done as a flashback to their college days, which began 13 years earlier when she and Wilder first met at 18. He had hooked up with Morgan's roommate who, in turn, had locked Morgan out of their shared room so she could have Wilder all to herself. To compound the situation, she had a secret crush on him, which made the roommate hooking up with him worse. It didn't help that his first words to/about her were an invitation to join in the escapades because he believed "She looks like she could do with some loosening up.". That was made worse by the words her roommate uttered "I didn't think Wilder Cross was into fat chicks..." also followed by him laughing and responding with "You know me babe. Anything over a size four, and I show her the door". It only kept getting worse because she saw him in class the following morning, with a different girl other than her roommate, and he didn't seem to remember HER at all. He only smiled and winked at her. Suffice it to say that her college crush took a temporary, one-way ticket off a cliff, so for the rest of their time at school, the air between them was fractious at best.
This MMC was so arrogant and egotistical that it wasn't funny. He thought very highly of himself and believed he was God's gift to women ("My d*ck is just too awesome to keep to one woman" note massive eye-roll here). The reader was notified of his opinions regarding his prowess (and his "awesome dck" repeatedly throughout the story...and chapter 1 was inundated with his egotistical outlook.) This guy's obsession with sex and his abilities were through the roof OTT. Not one single chapter passed that either HE mentioned sex, or he was involved in having it...a lot. He seemed to have gotten stuck in the past, living his present as a horny, over-sexed teenager who finally broke free of his parents (who were pretty cool, btw) and had no restraints keeping him in line. Since the author rarely gave the POV of the FMC, it wasn't easy to determine whether or not she was well-developed or mature. Although reading how immature the MMC was throughout the book, it was true she was more mature than him.
I honestly couldn't give this book anything higher than a 2.5-star rating, rounded up to 3 stars. It really needed to be edited more, and the MMC needed to grow up faster than he did.
Even Wattpad books are better than this these days.
LOVE this!
