Boss in the Bedsheets

Kate Canterbary — 2020

He's a beast in the spreadsheets and a boss in the bedsheets Mr. Santillian, Despite the fact I'm currently living out of your guest room and sleeping with you most nights, I am writing to announce my resignation effective two weeks from today. In other words, I'll locate someone who is both obscenely overqualified and willing to devote their days to the handful of tasks you are able to wrench from your perfectionist, micromanaging grip. It may be difficult to find a Nobel laureate genius looking for basic filing work on such short notice, but I'll do my best. Don't worry about your sister's wedding this weekend. I still plan to attend as your date, assuming you've finished hating me by then. Thank you in advance for your understanding. Zelda Ms. Besh, Resignation not accepted. I'll see you at home. Ash

What I love best about a Kate Canterbary romance is how tightly focused the story is on the love interests. There are only rare moments where they are not together on page (be it in person or via electronic communication) and oh the banter sparkles. Boss in the Bedsheets is an exceptionally tightly focused tale loosely based on the Hades/Persephone myth. Ash and Zelda meet on a plane after a seat switch up and BANG goes their relationship from the start. Having Ash reading Zelda's resume as she sits next to him is highly amusing and seeing how quickly their relationship goes from oh sure I'll hire you to actually how about we give this dating thing the ol' college try is a whirlwind of fun. Ash is buttoned up and tightly wound but completely turns into a dirty mouthed growly guy who just wants to take a bit out of Zelda's a** and give her all the orgasms. His family, we met his triplet sister Magnolia in The Magnolia Chronicles, is also super fun. I felt really sad that Zelda had no other friends or family in her life she could count on, and I'm glad Ash turned out to be a great guy with a great family, because well, that could have been a whole other story. All in all a delightfully dirty romp and a fun read. *CW: emotional abuse (in the past), fat phobia (secondary character is lamenting have to crash diet to fit in her too small wedding dress, comments and jokes are made about her eating/diet, alcohol use, medical scene (Ash has a dislocated arm). thank you to the author for the review copy!
