About the book

From Sunday Times and #1 New York Times bestselling author of Things We Never Got Over

Dominic:
I got her fired.

Okay, so I'd had a bad day, but there's nothing innocent about Ally Morales. Maybe her colourful, 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 her brown eyes and sharp tongue.

She's working herself to death at half a dozen dead-end jobs for some secret reason. 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 away all those layers. Then I can go back to salvaging the family name and forget all about the dancing, beer-slinging brunette.

Ally:
Ha. Hold my beer, Grumpy Grump Face.

When Dominic Russo comes into the pizza place where Ally Morales works and proceeds to get her fired the last thing she expects is his mom to offer her a job at their family magazine. Ally’s family and financial situation means she’s not in a place to say no, but when she’s assigned to be Dominic’s personal assistant she seriously considers it. Their office banter turns into an office romance leaving Dominic in fear that he’s turning into his father and Ally worried about letting someone see how much she’s struggling.

Okay so, I think I’m going to give this book 5 stars. To be honest I can’t even decide between 4.5 and 5. Anywayyy the first books I read by Lucy Score were the Knockemout Series (ps: I absolutely LOVED it !!) and this book didn’t disappoint me either. I like her writing style. There will be spoilers in this review ‼️. Let’s start with Ally, she’s trying her best to survive with several Jobs. Her father has Dementia and is in a home. (Sadly he dies after the big time skip ☹️.) I like her character, she’s stubborn and doesn’t let herself get dragged down by anything or anyone. Dominic is the heir to the label magazine and a serious dude. From their first encounter, they had a chemistry. Hate at first sight but they both felt the attraction. I loved Dalessandra (Dominic’s mother) she’s such an icon! Dominic’s Father (Paul Russo) was annoying as fuck. He got what he deserved and went to jail lmao !!! Idk why but I liked Christian (that Designer) and Faith (Ally’s bff) they made a good couple hahah. Can I just say that I found that whole pizza situation they had going on unbelievably sweet 😭😭. They started their journey with a pepperoni pizza that spelled 'FU' and finally got together with an ' I ❤️ you' pepperoni pizza HWHAHA. It was so cute how Dominic got everything for her even if she didn’t want it (piano, the renovation of Ally’s Family house, the food & drinks for the admins at work, her phone and laptop,the bills for her fathers home, the physical therapist for Buddy (Allys Workbuddy ? Idk how to explain their relationship LMAO), the new house for their family, diamond ring and so much more 😭‼️) LIKE BRO ??. And yes Dominic was kind of shitty when he accused her of using him etc but the emails he send her everyday just melted my heart😞. So happy they got their happy ending !! Two dogs (Brownie & Cookie), Kids, a big house, and so many connections with great people and family. The end tho 🫣🫣. So yeah, there was quite a lot of smut so if it isn’t for you don’t read it but overall I would very much recommend it to other people ((: .
