Serving the CEO (Serving Him) Kindle Edition
If someone had told me three months ago that I would walk down the aisle to marry my boss, Derrick Thomas, the hot as hell but super demanding and arrogant CEO of Broker Publishing, I would have called them a damn lunatic.
But here I am, all dressed in white, ready to tie the knot with the man of my dreams. Or so you would think.
There's one problem: Somewhere along the way, I did the dumbest thing possible. I fell in love with him.
When Jessica Ellis lands her dream job as an editor at Broker Publishing in Manhattan, she never expects her life to take a dramatic turn. But when her parents' bookstore, a cherished family business, is unexpectedly sold, she finds herself in a desperate situation.
After discovering that the new owner is none other than her boss, Derrick Thomas, she takes the matter to him directly. At the risk of losing her dream job, she confronts Derrick, but instead of a pink slip, Derrick offers her a shocking proposal: Marry him for one year as part of a social experiment for his new book about relationships – and how to avoid them. In return, her parents can keep their store.
Will she accept, and if she does, will she be able to keep it strictly professional and not be tempted by her devilishly handsome boss?
Find out in the latest novel in M. S. Parker’s Serving Him series: Serving the CEO, a steamy and emotional romance novel that will have you hooked until the very last page.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2023I didn’t think Parker could top the 1st Serving Him book in this series; wrong, this one was so intriguing that I read it cover to cover same day. Derrick’s dominant personality, suave demeanor, perseverance, handsomeness, arrogance, humor, and kind smile are just the right ingredients to have Jessica sexually swooning yet verbally slapping this entitled CEO. Jessica and Derrick explore their explosive physical relationship in the office, bedroom, restaurants, and in his club. He introduces her to “His World”. If it weren’t for his best friend Drew and sister Amelia’s sound advice on relationships, I don’t think Derrick would have ever discovered his blindness and thick headedness over his true feeling for Jessica. Jami, Jessica’s best friend, doesn’t approve of Derrick but all along has given her sound advice. Jessica’s friends end up coming together to help her battle the murky waters of this relationship and build a future that’s potentially brighter.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2023It was a good read. Heavy on the Dom kink. Derrick is hard to root for because it's just difficult to understand why he doesn't have the ability at first to think in terms outside the boardroom. But, his character development is long but he finally gets there.
Jessica also goes through an evolution. It's less intense. But, no less important.
I'm happy that there were no real violent scenes. And i enjoyed the other characters as well. I just wish they were a bit more developed.
Overall... I recommend this book.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2025This one had me going for sure. You never felt sure of what to expect.
I loved it!
Thank you
- Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2023Derrick is one of the people most of us fine hard to love or even like. Jessica.on the other hand, is hard not to love, even at the first meeting.
Jessica decides to go along with a proposal that will save her parent’s business and her best friend’s job. It seemed like an easy enough thing to do, until she realized how much she had fallen in love with Derrick.
He, on the other hand, doesn’t have a clue. People tell him, but he doesn’t believe in love. He continues to believe he can live without it, even though he is having problems eating and keeping.
So many mistakes are made by both. I enjoyed reading this book. I liked so much that I woke a couple hours early on a few days, just to read what would happen next. It was the type of book that I just needed to read more chapter…or two. So sorry when it ended.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2024Wow what a exciting story. A love like that is a real turn on. Parker you know you stuff all is well that ends great.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2023I don’t know if my three stars is even a fair rating. The prologue gives a way of really big part of the book and it really ruined it for me. It was a struggle for me to concentrate on the book when all I could think about was when the thing in the prologue was going to happen.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2023I liked the lead male character Derrick because ultimately he learned a lesson about his arrogance. Derrick is the ultimate single rich man who dabbles in intimacy with play. He doesn’t want to be tied down ever, but he was to write a book about how single life is the best. Derrick even enlists his BFF and business partner Drew to help him. Drew is level headed and tries to help his stubborn friend see how actions can have unintended consequences. Derrick has to learn the hard way and almost loses the best thing to bring happiness into his life. Read On!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2023Derrick & Jessica are combustible from the beginning. Only she can't stand him and he only wants one thing. Their encounters scorched the screen of my kindle. I wasn't expecting much - so many current billionaire enemy to lovers books have been duds without much humor or character. This was a very pleasant surprise as the characters were better developed and introduced a cast of interesting supporting characters. I'll definitely be reading more from this author (this was my 1st).

5.0 out of 5 stars CEO secures the deal of his lifetime
Derrick is a businessman who is practically all work and no play. He keeps any women in his life as nothing more than affairs, and never anything more. Jessica works for him, and when her boss approaches her with a work-related offer, will she be able to accept it? Can either of them really keep this agreement strictly business, or will their hearts end up being part of the negotiation?
- AndreaReviewed in Canada on January 18, 2023
5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely loved it!
Wow, what a rollercoaster ride this was. I think I wanted to strangle Derrick on many occasions throughout the story. He was just a topical guy who only got what he wanted as a businessman but when it came to relationships he had no clue what to do. And this is why the business arrangement in marriage never worked.
This story was a true page turner as all of MS Parker’s books and I would definitely recommend it!
- Janet sReviewed in the United Kingdom on December 25, 2023
5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant
Have really enjoyed this book.Didn't think it would have ended like it did. Love reading M S Parker's books.
Can't wait to read the next one.
- Linda MayReviewed in Canada on February 14, 2023
5.0 out of 5 stars Great story telling…
I loved the cover, along with the book. They matched perfectly, it was easy to imagine this man as Derrick.
The main characters felt like I knew them…and their actions felt natural & real.
Although I’m not interested in BDSM, I thought it worked well in this book.
- jan lewisReviewed in the United Kingdom on January 20, 2023
5.0 out of 5 stars WOWEE!
Firstly can I say that the cover photo really did look like Derrick for me. Doesn’t always work but in this case spot on!!! Loved the story. Hated Derrick at first and I took a long time for him to realise the error of his ways. Jess deserved a medal for putting up with him. However it was a fantastic read
