Nope, not my thing
Brutally honest review incoming.
In #Bossholes, we dive into the world of workplace romance with a "why choose" twist. The story follows Kinsley, the FMC, who ends up entangled with not 1, but 3 domineering bosses, two of whom are brothers. The plot combines steamy office dynamics, age-gap tension, and found family moments, all told through multiple POVs.
Unfortunately, this book wasn’t for me. I’m not sure if it was the genre or this particular story, but I often felt awkward and even a little embarrassed while reading it. Normally I fall for the MMCs in romance books, but this time, I just found them irritating. Maybe I should’ve seen it coming, but here we are!
To start, I didn’t connect with the FMC. She lacked depth and didn’t really stand her ground. And when it came to the three MMCs—Brantley, Maverick, and Wyatt—I honestly couldn’t tell them apart. They all looked, talked, and acted the same. The fact that two of them were brothers made some of the intimate scenes feel extra uncomfortable.
There were also quite a few unrealistic moments that bothered me. For example, Kinsley’s little brother is deaf, and somehow Brantley learns ASL in just two days? Then there’s the fact that after one night together, the characters sort of move in with each other the very next day. It all happened way too fast. It all just moved way too fast. And don’t even get me started on the two brothers openly discussing their solo habits…
That said, there were a few things I liked. I appreciated the multiple POVs, it made the story more dynamic. I also really enjoyed the book club scenes (no surprising there, haha). And although I thought about DNF-ing, I stuck with it because I wanted to see how it would all wrap up. The writing style itself was smooth and easy to read, which definitely helped.
In the end, #Bossholes wasn’t a hit for me, but hey, you can’t read a 5-star book every time. If you’re into "why choose" romances with an age gap and workplace setting, this book might be your vibe!
