Dominic was staring at me like he couldn't decide whether to chop me into pieces or pull my hair and French kiss me. DominicI got her fired. Okay, so I'd had a bad day and took it out on a bystander in a pizza shop. But there's nothing innocent about Ally Morales. She proves that the first day at her new job... in my office... after being hired by my mother.So maybe her colorful, annoying, inexplicably alluring personality brightens up the magazine's offices that have felt like a prison for the past year. Maybe I like that she argues with me in front of the editorial staff. And maybe my after-hours fantasies are haunted by those brown eyes and that sharp tongue.But that doesn't mean that I'm going to be the next Russo man to take advantage of his position. I might be a second-generation son of a... fill in the blank, but I am not my father.She's working herself to death at half a dozen dead-end jobs for some secret reason she doesn't feel like sharing with me. And I'm going to fix it all. Don't accuse me of caring. She's nothing more than a puzzle to be solved. If I can get her to quit, I can finally peel back all those layers. Then I can go back to salvaging the family name and forget all about the dancing, beer-slinging brunette.AllyHa. Hold my beer, Grumpy Grump Face.Author's Note: A steamy, swoony workplace romantic comedy with a grumpy boss hero determined to save the day and a plucky heroine who is starting to wonder if there might actually be a beating heart beneath her boss's sexy vests.

I didn‘t quite vibe with this book I felt like it was repeating the same kind of theme throughout the whole book where they wanted each other, but they can have each other. this was my first Lucy score book and I‘ve heard mixed opinions about her, but overall it was ok. It wasn‘t my favorite book i‘ve read. It wasn‘t my least favorite book i‘ve read. The banter was pretty good and funny but I felt like the characters change the personality.

I read this for #LittensLoveRomance @StayCurious

Cute story. Loved the drama and tension between the main characters. Also thought the secondary characters and subplot all worked well together. An enjoyable fluff read. 4⭐️

On the plus side, I thought this was a well written #romantsy (although the sex scenes were a bit cringe-y) and I liked the heroine very much. BUT, the hero began with some bad behaviour he never apologised for and went on to display behaviours that seem to me to be headed towards coercive control and for which his apologies were less than convincing. Thanks @StayCurious and fellow #LittensLoveRomance readers

Well, it's done, lol. Overall, it's not a bad book. Loved the banter between the characters, and the friends were so supporting. I did find it a little bit too long. #LittensLoveRimance @StayCurious I did get one bingo spot, so that gave me one bingo line on #ISpyBingoApril @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.69: Kinda wish we would have had more of a scene with firing that Irvin creep.
Ch.70: I‘m still mad at Dom. But the emails are helping.
Ch.71-72: Ally has a bunch of windfalls suddenly. Of course she should be suspicious. Dom‘s name is all over her good luck. But does this feel like he‘s trying to buy her back? I dunno…👇

StayCurious Ch.73: is it buying her back or making all her dreams come true? I did like that everything in her life is finally falling into place bc of him. And vice versa. Sweet Hollywood smoozy ending and I liked it.
Epilogue: Awww happy ending all around. The bonus epilogue is worth a read too 💜
12mo
StayCurious Overall a fun, sexy, well written read! I enjoyed it a lot 💜 12mo

OriginalCyn620 I‘ll be honest…I really don‘t think I would forgive someone if they did to me what Dom did to Ally! She‘s probably a better person than me! 😂 I did really enjoy this book. I like enemies-to-lovers stories and this one was well done. 12mo
BarkingMadRead Ok, I have so many thoughts. I wanted more from the Irving thing. I wanted him to suffer. I wanted him to beg. Whyyyyyy did Ally not see those windfalls for what they were? I think she was just so relieved that she didn‘t think about it. Those emails were everything! So sweet and heartbreaking. I did like the ending, even if he did kind of maybe buy her back? Although she would never allow that so maybe it‘s ok? 12mo
TheSpineView Great book! The troupe worked so well. 12mo
Read4life I enjoyed this one. I agree that the bonus epilogue was good. This trope was well written. 12mo
CarolynM I agree it was well written, but I have serious problems with Dom‘s behaviour throughout, and I didn‘t see him genuinely acknowledging or atoning for any of it. A rich man spending money does NOT count. @OriginalCyn620 I definitely would not have forgiven him. I don‘t think it shows Ally is a better person, I think it shows she‘s prepared to risk being in a relationship with a man doesn‘t trust her & is showing signs of wanting to control her. 12mo
LiseWorks I feel like he is buying her love with paying everything. I also thought the book was way too long for the content. I did enjoy the emails. 12mo

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.65: wow- Paul Russo is a sick bastard. But we already knew that. Still, why would Elena bother with him? Gross.
Ch.66. Oh Dom. You‘re such an idiot. Poor Ally.
Ch.67. What more dirty secrets are there? My my my - it‘s all coming out now.
Ch.68. He better get on his hands and knees and beg for forgiveness. From both Ally and us for reading through his horse-poop. Will finish rest of book tomorrow.

TheSpineView It always seems the dirty laundry comes out at some point. Still feel sorry for both of them. 12mo

#LittensLoveRomance Ch61: I honestly thought having a romance with a slightly older couple meant they wouldn‘t be dancing so much around the L word. Guess I was wrong? Ch.62: I thought she‘d be more upset about the house. But I guess she‘s slowly realizing to take help when offered. Ch. 63: oof - what a horrible confrontation btw Dom and his father. That‘s gonna stir up some problems. 👇

StayCurious Ch. 64: Ally should be worried about Dom. His father is always messing with his head! 12mo
BarkingMadRead That dad, though! What a train wreck! 12mo
OriginalCyn620 I think the dad and Malina deserve each other. 😂 12mo

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.57-60 - I‘m not sure I‘m into public sexy times. I always get tense while reading like I‘m the one in danger of being caught!
- Haha Alominic - that doesn‘t have the same power as say a “Bennifer” - Ally‘s brave to throw him a surprise party. Not sure I would have had the guts in such a new relationship. 👇

StayCurious - Well his birthday turned out just fine- and they said the Like word. Meh. They should just admit they have deeper feelings at this point. 12mo

This was my first Lucy Score but it won‘t be my last! Enemies-to-lovers is my favorite romance trope, so this book already had something going for it. But the banter between the MCs was great, and when the steam arrived, it was worth the wait! And the story was excellent!

read for #LittensLoveRomance so I don‘t want to say too much!

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.53-56: I love how well Dallesandra took the news of Dom and Ally‘s relationship. It‘s nice that she‘s happy he‘s happy. The more we learn about Paul Russo the more angry I get that he‘s off living his best life at another magazine. I can‘t believe Malina slapped Ally - I mean, that‘s crazy to do at work! What a sad horrible human.

BarkingMadRead The girls screaming when she told them cracked me up, and I‘m so mad that Ally didn‘t tell anyone about that slap. She‘s a better human than me lol 12mo
KristiAhlers @BarkingMadRead right? And I'm not normally given to violence lol 12mo
TheSpineView Malina is a piece of work in my opinion. Jealousy never does anyone any hood. 12mo
OriginalCyn620 Malina is the literal worst! I thought Ally made some very excellent points to her before the slap heard around the world…I really hope Malina thinks about it more and realizes she can do better. 12mo

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.49-52: Yay! The sexy times are here and they are 🔥☀️ well worth the wait, I‘d say. And now Dom is determined. He‘s done waffling back and forth. Ally is his - he just has to convince her of that. Oh, and quit his job. Which he doesn‘t like anyway. So I‘m not sensing a problem there. But there are still a lot of chapters left in this chunkster for things to go wrong…I‘m sensing something icky with Irvin.

LiseWorks I can't wait tinhere what mom has to say about him quitting 12mo
TheSpineView Finally Dom is getting his head on right. But what is he thinking about quitting??? Not sure that is the right decision. Anyway, looking forward to see where this takes him 12mo

BarkingMadRead I don‘t think quitting is the answer, and I can‘t imagine his mom will think so either 🤣 12mo
Read4life I agree with you, @BarkingMadRead . I think both of the strong women in his life will have issues with him quitting. 12mo
OriginalCyn620 Yes, I can‘t wait to hear what his mom has to say about him resigning! I think she‘ll be glad for Dom and Ally because she knew they were into each other, but i bet she works some kind of magic! 12mo
CarolynM Hmm, I‘m sensing I‘m an outlier here🤔 I was flip-flopping between cringing and rolling my eyes during those sex scenes 🥴 and I seriously don‘t like Dom‘s domineering behaviour (nominative determinism anyone?😆) I hope the remaining chapters are going to be about him learning to show his feelings in more respectful ways.

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.45- when are we going to find out what happened with her dad‘s house? My guess is her father got duped by a shady contractor.
Ch. 46 - Dom‘s inner monologue makes me LOL. And his new fraternization policy is so great!
Ch. 47- I‘m not crying - you‘re crying.
Ch.48 - ok I am crying. Her situation is so sad. And Dom is being so sweet and sexy right now. Glad she finally opened up to him. Will there be regrets in the morning?

TheSpineView Love the way Dom treats her. 💗 12mo
CarolynM Maybe it‘s just me, but if he‘s really so kind hearted, why does he think it‘s ok to behave the way he did in the restaurant back at the beginning? I want that dealt with. 12mo

This might be the longest romance novel I‘ve ever read. It was long I can use it for #AlmostaChunkster #chunksterchallenge2023

I did really enjoy this romance. And I was hooked on these characters, so I didn‘t mind the length. Though it was a bit dragged out and both characters had so much baggage.

#LittensLoveRomance Sorry I‘m behind a couple days - have had some unexpected things eating away at my reading time - the nerve! Ch. 41 - ha the girls at Label (sans Malina) are so funny and supportive. We all need coworkers like that who want to push our Cinderella story. I also love that Dominic hasn‘t been subtle at all and everyone knows he likes Ally - way to be cool, dude. 👇

StayCurious 42 - oh boy, strutting together down the runway - that‘s one way to cause a stir - not only with the crowd but with Dominic. Is Christian suicidal? Waving the red cape (or dress in this case) in front of the raging bull? 👇 12mo

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.33: Well she made some money, but at what cost? I don‘t mean the dance for the crowd but the private dance with the happy ending. Poor Ally. Her feelings must be so conflicted.

34: Oh good, these two are finally going to talk. Air things out. That definitely needs to happen. Communicate. Then get on with the sexy times we‘re all waiting for. 👇

StayCurious 35 - wow this author is a pro at angst - and I‘m here for it. But how long will the no contact policy last for? Also I love that Dom has a dog.

36- Front desk Deena is a bleeep!

BarkingMadRead Yikes, what was he thinking with that lap dance?! He needs to make up his mind! I‘m definitely here for the angst! 12mo
OriginalCyn620 Agree that all the angst is well done by the author! At times I want to throttle both Dom and Ally, and I love when I feel that way because it means I‘m invested in the characters and rooting for them. 🤣 But seriously, one of them needs to take the first step with trust and start talking honestly - no games and just put ALL the cards on the table. 12mo
KristiAhlers I'm so invested with these two but I do think that Dom may have pushed things a little further than needed. However I will admit to shaking my book since I couldn't shake the two of them personally lol 12mo

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.29: who has bible study in a public venue? Also, so proud that Ally is standing up for herself. She does deserve better! How can Dom just assume she‘d be ok with quitting? He knows she‘s broke - she obviously needs the money. He‘s a bit oblivious.
Ch.30: desperate times call for desperate measures. I wish she‘d just ask for help. Better hope Dom doesn‘t find out. 👇

StayCurious Ch.31: would you have the guts to do what Ally‘s about to do? I wouldn‘t - and it‘s definitely not an option for me because I can‘t dance at all - hell, I wish it were an option. She just needs to see it as empowering and not degrading. Entertaining and not humiliating. Easier said than done. (edited) 12mo

OriginalCyn620 I‘m not at all surprised that Dom found out what she was up to, it seems very on-character for him! And yes, he‘s probably a bit oblivious but I think he‘s pushing her to quit purely so he can satisfy his own needs…you know, thinking with his other head. But I do think that he would help her get another job if she did quit, but I don‘t think she should. (edited) 12mo

18 - haha I love Ally‘s solution is to find random mutts and get Linus to make it work. Genius. Also, while Dom is falling for Ally, I‘m falling for him! He‘s getting sweeter people! 👇

StayCurious 19 - they definitely had a moment! Wow - who knew not touching could be so electric? Yowza! But we know Dom is going to put a stop to this - he has to be seeing déjà vu with his father hanging around the admins. That‘s going to mess with his head.

20 - it‘s nice to see Dom with his friend acting human. It‘s nice to see that he once loved his job and was good at it and part of why he‘s miserable at Label is he doesn‘t fit there

OriginalCyn620 I love that Ally got animal shelter dogs as substitutes! I had a feeling she would do that and I love her more for it. I‘m still not quite sure why Dom moved into his father‘s position at the magazine. Was it his idea or his mother‘s? Was it out of his own guilt for what his dad did or did his mother pressure him into the family business after the scandal? I hope we get more details soon! 12mo

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.13: Ooh lala - a hot men sandwich - haha doubtful that‘s where this is going. I doubt Dominic likes to share. 14: we catch a little glimpse of Ally‘s worry - most likely her father is injured or sick. Poor thing. Dom was sweet to her though which was nice to see.

15: we see a bit more of what Ally is dealing with and it‘s really tough. But it was pretty swoony when Dom texted her afterwards. That‘ll be a nice distraction👇

StayCurious 16: yikes - I couldn‘t handle having orders flung at me so quickly. It‘s like The Devil Wears Prada - I think Ally will keep her enthusiasm though. Anything for a paycheque! 13mo
slategreyskies I‘m not sure why I‘d thought that Ally‘s dad was dead. It didn‘t specifically say that. I just assumed, I suppose. This has gotta be really tough on her.

Also, I would place these both in the troupe of enemies to lovers.

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.9. I like that we‘re getting all the gossip … and there‘s a big obstacle - the HR policy that executives and underlings can‘t date. 🤔 how will they get around that?
10. I‘m glad Ally spoke up in the meeting with her idea. It‘s nice that she‘s got the confidence to do that even though she‘s supposed to be “just” an admin. Their back and forth is fun! Lol Sausage fingers!
👇

StayCurious 11. Malina is going to be trouble! She‘s after a rich sugar daddy and nothing and no one is going to get in her way! I liked seeing Ally and Dom work together to sort of throw her off.
12. Haha Ally and Dom - their babies will be beautiful.
13mo
slategreyskies I feel like Dom and Ally could have a couple name. Domally. Haha oh, I‘ve laughed out loud at loud at this book so many times. This book is so much fun. When he said she was typing like a team of Clydesdales. Haha I love how her presence at the meeting and their banter back and forth during it took the stress/tension level down for the meeting and made it last longer too. Very cool. 13mo

TheSpineView Enjoying the banter. Also, thinking Ally could do much more than be an Admin assistant. Wonder if Dom will discover her talents and give her a better job. 13mo
OriginalCyn620 I love the banter! This book is a lot of fun so far. The scene with Ally, Dom, and Malina was too funny. I love that Ally isn‘t afraid to speak her mind - whether it‘s calling out a new coworker or contributing ideas during a meeting. @TheSpineView I thought the same thing so I hope that happens! 13mo
BarkingMadRead Omg the argument during the meeting had me laughing so hard! They crack me up 12mo
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Ballsy to pick a fight in the meeting but it cracked me up. I wonder if she'll end up with a promotion and/or if Dom leaves the company so they can be together. Malina should've just left with Papa Russo and worked for him at the new magazine. Strange they'd hire him, though. My only gripe so far is how the magazine execs seem to not understand the social media/print correlation in a book written in 2020. 12mo

I have to read all of Lucy Score‘s book ASAP! This is the first one I‘ve read and I fell in love with it after only a few chapters. I knew right away that I love her writing style and her characters and I just loved everything about this book. It was so good!

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.5-8: I like when people seem genuinely good. I like her elderly neighbours. They seem like good people.
- Ooh, she‘s to act a bit like a spy for the boss…that might not make her any friends in the office
- Dominic and Ally are at each other‘s throats and it‘s fun to read - but also, part of me is like - you‘re in an office, act professional! But the other part of me is salivating at the gossip fodder. 👇

StayCurious - Malina seems…nice. I like Gola and Ruth but how happy will they be if Ally ends up spying on them for the boss? 13mo
KristiAhlers @StayCurious I'm going with not happy at all. lol. 13mo

slategreyskies I love how there‘s this mix of nice and mean people at Label. Shayla and Malina vs. Gola and Ruth. And I love bus stop guy. I don‘t want to stop reading until tomorrow, but I will. :) 13mo
OriginalCyn620 Totally agree with you @slategreyskies! There seems to be a lot of good characters here. This book is starting out very promising! 13mo
TheSpineView I love how the characters compliment each other and the good, bad, ugly, greedy, all mixed together gives the story authenticity. 13mo
BarkingMadRead I‘m loving the admin pool, and the good vs evil characters 🤣 12mo
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Ally's neighbors are a hoot! I love that they're taking her under their wing. It's going to be fun hating on the stereotypical fashion bitches & waiting for them to get their due. As for the spying, I hope Ally really can find a why to improve morale without coming across like a spying tattle-tale. 12mo

#LittensLoveRomance Ch1-4: Well, that certainly was a meet cute! Ok…I‘m not saying that what she did was professionally ok, but Dominic is such a jerk! Well a jerk who helps homeless guys with dogs. I hope his mother gives him a stern talking to. - I think I‘m going to like his mother. And I hope we see Guy Pollyanna from the bus stop again.
- It‘s interesting to see a high level boss man that‘s not super successful in his job. Liking 📕 so far!

LiseWorks When dealing with the service industry and customers that are rude, I think she may have had enough, lol, something I would have wanted to do but never had the nerve. And yes, she got fired. Even though she needed that job, she wasn't scared to confront his rudeness. 13mo
TheSpineView Jerk is the nice way to describe Dominic. I liked that the author showed he had a better side. I can't wait to see what it will take to bring him around. 13mo

OriginalCyn620 @TheSpineView Same here! I love that he has a soft spot. And I really want to know the deal with Dominic‘s father. I hope we find out soon! 13mo
MeganAnn I don‘t know if I‘ll follow the chapter a day schedule, but I am hoping to fit this one in by the end of the month. Would still love to be tagged in your daily updates though! 13mo
TheSpineView @OriginalCyn620 I have been wondering if his father is the root of the jerk persona or an ex.🤔 13mo
slategreyskies I do think that meet-cute was a bit over the top, but it will likely set things in motion nicely. I‘m excited to see what happens next! 13mo
BarkingMadRead I loved the start of this! I‘m on vacay and I‘m way behind, but I‘m trying to catch up fast 🤣 I loved Guy Pollyanna and Dominic‘s mom makes me so happy! 12mo
CarolynM Just got started on this. I very nearly bailed after the first chapter. I was so disgusted with Dominic‘s behaviour and all the excuses/ameliorating factors just annoyed me. But I like Ally and the job offer from Dallessandra intrigued me so I kept going. I‘m still not sure I want them to get together, he will have to show some serious remorse for his entitled attitude. 12mo
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick As someone who would love to go back in time to smack the guy who came up with "the customer is always right", I like Ally's spunk. Dominic has issues that he needs to deal with. So much anger brewing in there. I like that it was established that he had a soft spot for the dogs and is therefore only 98.5% mean. Interested to see where this goes 12mo

Saw this all over bookstagram with rave reviews and I see why! It was funny and emotional with well developed characters. I love a grumpy boss and sassy sarcastic heroine.

Ally and Dom both have some serious baggage thanks to family history. That baggage gets them into trouble in their relationship. But the sweetness and love shines through.

I laughed hysterically at moments and I cried towards the end. I love how it all came together.
