When a wrong email lands Jennifer in Theo’s office the attraction is instant for them both. Jennifer tells herself there is no way he’d be interested plus this is her job. Theo makes a futile attempt to squash his feelings because duh… but we all know how that works out don’t we? 

“But then her common sense returned, loud, demanding, and sounding frighteningly like her Grandma’s voice. 

Jennifer Johnson, you are not about to shit where you eat! 

Yep. Definitely Grandma.”

As the title suggests Bad for the Boss is an office romance and does contain a power imbalance which TH states at the start of the book. Although Theo is still technically everyones boss and obviously in a position of power I’m glad he wasn’t directly involved in her everyday work tasks/supervision and as always I am thankful that Hibbert always writes dual points of view so you always know what both Theo and Jennifer are thinking/feeling. That being said, the amount of times I did a face palm and said “oh my god” out loud were many. For someone who built & runs a business Theo does not think before he speaks/acts and I really wanted to tell him to just chill for a second buddy. It got intense fast and I felt like everything was moving at lightening speed but once I reminded myself it was a 200 page quick read I was able to set that aside and just enjoy. 

On top of navigating how messy this could make her job Jen also has a stalker. The girl can’t catch a break. I think it’s pretty easy to piece together but I don’t trust anyone so honestly everyone was a suspect. I liked the addition of a suspenseful storyline. It added some balance and intrigue throughout.
