RULE #1 OF WALL STREET: DON’T HUNT WHAT YOU CANNOT EAT.
I’m the king of the business world. The Alpha of my pack. No one dares challenge me.
Except my new assistant.
She questions me to my face and calls me Big Bad Boss behind my back. When I give her an order, she asks me why, with all my billions, I can’t afford some manners.
Worse, the little human smells like temptation. She dresses to kill, and I want to sink my teeth into her.
One day my control’s going to snap, and a wolf never stops hunting until he’s claimed his prey.
Midnight is book one in the Big Bad Boss trilogy. It features a billionaire boss-hole wolf shifter and his freakishly smart assistant set in the Bad Boy Alpha world created by Renee Rose and Lee Savino.
Somehow I completely missed that this is book one of a trilogy and just thought it was first in a new series. At some point towards the end, I realized it was running out of pages and there were still a lot of loose ends, but I didn’t want to face the music. Cliffhangers aren’t my favorite and unexpected cliffhangers are the worst.
Maddie is sweet, funny and relatable, so I liked her from the start. Brick is more of an acquired taste, although he won me over eventually, only to infuriate me more than ever, ugh. He really is a complete alphahole, especially to Maddie, but she but won’t let him see it affect her. Unlike most employees, she speaks plainly to Brick and isn’t intimidated by him. He’s intrigued and increasingly drawn to this gorgeous human. She’s unlike anyone else he’s ever met and as they get to know one another, he’s falling hard.
Shifters + humans = complicated, but pack alphas + humans = completely forbidden. The bloodline would be diluted, and the pack would defect, so mating with a human is not an option. But his attraction to Maddie is more than just lust; He’s downright possessive and his wolf howls at the suggestion that Maddie needs to go. Brick doesn’t understand how his wolf can be so attached to someone he can’t have, but the animal inside him doesn’t want to let her go, even as his best friends and closest advisors remind him that there’s no other option.
Their story has everything from billionaires in the boardroom to centuries-old feuds to vampires on retainer and I loved every last minute. This is one of those stories I just couldn’t put down. The action is constant and I’m questioning if a few people are truly friends or actually foes in this tumultuous story of forbidden love. It’s going to be a long wait for the next installment in April. I’d like to thank the authors and Literally Yours PR for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
