The Boss

Wow this one had a lot going on! Former partners and lovers Mac and Vic are reunited when Mac shows up on Vic's doorstep asking for help on a case that is clearly too much for her to handle alone. Her case involves the Russian Mob, the FBI, and the CIA so danger lurks around every corner. There is a ton of action and twists to the story so you'll have a hard time putting this one down. I would recommend this one.

I enjoyed this book. It opens with Mac sneaking into Vic's home to bring him back into the business to help with a challenging case. Vic and Mac had separated six months ago after a particularly ugly fight and haven't spoken since. They had owned and run a business together after they left government employment, so wwhen Vic left, Mac was left holding the bag by herself. Mac accepted a government contract, something Vic has no interest in, and things have begun to fall apart. Rock, an employee, saw a woman being kidnapped and stepped in to rescue her. He had no idea why she was so special or why so many people wanted her. This is a fast paced romantic suspense. While I enjoyed it, the characters didn't resonate with me - instead of becoming completely immersed in the story so that it feels real, I was always cognisant that I was reading a novel. I loved Vic, but didn't connect with Mac. She was so emotional and had such wide mood swings that I kept waiting to hear she was pregnant. I liked Millie, but the changes and personal growth in her during the course of the book was over the top. If only we could evolve that quickly....sigh. Fans of the genre will enjoy this book. The story is creative and engaging and I look forward to reading more by this author

4.0 Star Review The Boss by Melissa Schroeder The Boss is a romantic suspense and I enjoyed reading this story. With fast paced action and a interesting story line you cannot help but be drawn into the world created by Melissa Schroeder. These books are exactly what I have come to expect from Melissa Schroeder, well written and riveting. When a case turns bad and MacKenzie Donovan find herself being chased by several “bad guys” she has no alternative nut to crash back into the life of her ex-lover and business partner Vic Walker. Adding suspense and danger to the mix, it soon becomes apparent that there are unresolved feelings involved between Vic and Mac. Their relationship has always been passionate, whether making love or fighting. Both these alpha personalities want to be the one to come out on top. Who will win in the end? At the heart of this book is a second chance at love; let's hope that Vic and Mac are prepared to jump for the brass ring and hold onto it. I received this book in exchange for an honest review from the publisher through Netgalley.
