One Bossy Proposal: An Enemies to Lovers Romance (Bossy Seattle Suits) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 19,690 ratings

Wall Street Journal bestselling author Nicole Snow returns with a hilarious office romance where two archenemies who drive each other crazy pretend they're madly in love.

Strange men do funny things when you score the last cinnamon roll.
Sometimes he rages about the high crime of jacking
his precious pastry.
Sometimes he offers you ludicrous bribes to buy it back.
And sometimes—after shattering your faith in humanity—you find out he's your new boss.

I'm not laughing.
My sweet tooth betrayed me and Lincoln Burns is one bad sugar rush.
A coldhearted grump. A mile-wide ego. An eligible bachelor who doesn't “do” dating.
Did I mention Mr. Congeniality runs a fashion empire with weddings in its sights?
Of course he does.
And, of course, weddings make me
gag after my ex made my heart roadkill.

Every instinct I have screams run.
But money talks, and Lincoln's deep pockets roar.
One big fat bonus proposal lures me into his world.
Somehow, our vicious fights become vivid flirting.
His secrets thrill me in the worst ways.

Then he makes a second proposal.
Pretend we're engaged. Smile for pretty photos like we're soulmates. Dress up like we're actually getting married.
Oh, how I wish cinnamon rolls came with warnings.
It's all sticky sweet heaven until you catch feelings for the bossman from hell...

Full-length enemies-to-lovers romance loaded with uh-ohs. Office banter, pastry mischief, slow-burn spice, plus one bossy suit who might stop stomping around long enough to realize he's falling hopelessly in love.

Really Good Contemporary Slow-Burn Romance!

Really Good Contemporary Slow-Burn Romance!
Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 Spice: 🔥🔥🔥🔥/5 Build-up: 5/5 Tropes: #fakeengagement #enemiestolovers #workplaceromance Just finished this book and it was so good! By far one of the best contemporary romances I’ve read in a while. I appreciate how the story takes time and because of the time the relationship is pure 🔥 by the time they start getting together. I really liked how things didn’t just happen immediately, as in it took time for them to become what they ended with. I lately it seems like every contemporary romance I read they make up so easily in the end. But with this book it took time for them to get to the point that they were able to get together again (About a month so not a super long period.) Forgiveness takes time and this book showed it because even after they were together again it still took time before she knew he wasn’t going to go anywhere ever again. The characters, Lincoln and Dakota, grew so much over the course of this book. They both had struggles they’ve been through and that’s why being together scared them at times. Dakota is such a sassy character and I love her! Lincoln had to grow on me before I liked him at first he was a bit of a jerk. But once you see his heart that he’s buried he’s a hard one not to love! One thing I have to say! I love the fact cinnamon rolls played such a huge part throughout this book! Made my baker heart happy! I enjoyed this book a lot and plan to check out more books by Nicole Snow!

    Reading Dakota and Lincoln's tale was quite the adventure. At one point I was ready to pull him from the pages and smack some much needed sense into him. I may never look at another cinnamon roll in quite the same light again. What a roller coaster ride of emotions this story has been.

    Dakota Poe (Nevermore) and Lincoln
    This was a good book. I lost interest though during the third act break up, which for me was drawn out too long. Otherwise, the chemistry between the two was good. And I liked their back and forth arguing.

    I'm a huge fan of Nicole Snow's growely men and the spunky women who somewhat tame them but I have to say Lincoln and Dakota are my new favorites!! I also love that Hearts Edge and Dallas characters have merged to Seattle with Sweeter Grinds, Regis Rolls and of course memories. This story starts with Lincoln pretty much having a melt down because Dakota got the last Regis Roll, a cinnamon gooeyness so good it'll give you a mouthgasam. Insults fly, names called and apparently money is no issue and neither back down. Hot Shrek has his reason for needing that cinnamon goodness but that would open other wounds he fights in a daily basis. What happens when that platinum blond with the dazzling green eyes and has a body made for sin shows up for a job interview at Lincoln's clothing company...Let the fun begin. From enemies over a cinnamon roll to employer/employee having secret fantasies to fake engaged to promote the wedding line... the names and banter doesn't stop and goes from insulting to terms of endearment. Both have issues with trust and marriage that keeps them from exploring what could be. It might take Lincoln's best friend and fellow ex Marine, Wyatt, to make him see the hard truth...or his widowed mother... If it's not too late. Can Captain Douchenozel piece his Raven's heart back together after he shattered it?? I highly recommend this MUST READ!!!! A story filled with all the feels, his/her POV, no cheating, no cliffhanger, real to life characters, real to life situations and a much deserved HEA. Absolutely LOVED Lincoln and Dakota and their secondary characters. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book and happily purchased a copy for my favorites collection. I'm soooooo looking forward for the next story from Nicole Snow!!

    This was another great read Friday n Nicole Snow. I have fallen in love with several of her characters in several of her book. But this is one where I will reread this book again and again. It gave you all the right feelings at the right time. I didn’t read these in order, by accident, but didn’t feel like I miss too much.
    Overview: Dakota was having a very bad day, it was the anniversary of what would of been here wedding, except she was left at the alter. Now she is standing in the Sweeter Grind coffee shop and buying the last cinnamon roll, not any cinnamon roll but a Regis roll. When getting ready to leave, the man behind her was mad that she got the last roll. Lincoln chases after her and offers her money for the roll, but Dakota refuses several time and they bicker back and forth. The next day, Dakota had a job interview with haughty and nice fashion company doing copy writing. When she meets the CEO, Lincoln steps forward and introduces himself and Dakota knows she just lost the job, but she was going to give it the best shot. She was hired on the spot and has to start Monday and work close to Lincoln. There bickering and teases end up the office gossip and soon hey can’t fight it either, plus Lincoln’s mom push’s them together too. But how can the 2 ever get past their past and build a future.

    Kept me glued to the book, even ignored a couple of TV shows to keep reading. Oh how I wish I had a Lincoln in my past years. It does get the juices flowing and for that I'm grateful. The story is fun, frustrating, gets you ticked off, then happy again. A writers talent for certain.
    Thank you.

    He's a workaholic CEO of his Mothers company. Doesn't believe in love after his previous relationship many years before destroyed him.
    She's a copy writer and poet, 8 months in a new city after being left at the altar 1 year before, swearing to never love another man again.

    I really enjoyed this book. I had read Eliza’s book first, but clearly didn’t know the whole story.
    Lincoln and “Nevermore” had a great rapport and I thoroughly enjoyed their banter.
    Wyatt was a sad story, which I’m hoping is another book to read.
    Great story, believe-able characters and the right amount of spice.
