Dominic was staring at me like he couldn’t decide whether to chop me into pieces or pull my hair and French kiss me.
Dominic
I got her fired. Okay, so I’d had a bad day and took it out on a bystander in a pizza shop. But there’s nothing innocent about Ally Morales. She proves that the first day at her new job… in my office… after being hired by my mother.
So maybe her colorful, 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 those brown eyes and that sharp tongue.
But that doesn’t mean that I’m going to be the next Russo man to take advantage of his position. I might be a second-generation son of a… fill in the blank, but I am not my father.
She’s working herself to death at half a dozen dead-end jobs for some secret reason she doesn’t feel like sharing with me. 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 back 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.
Author’s Note: A steamy, swoony workplace romantic comedy with a grumpy boss hero determined to save the day and a plucky heroine who is starting to wonder if there might actually be a beating heart beneath her boss’s sexy vests.
I really love a good rom com especially when the grumpy man is told off by a sassy woman!
Holy crap on a cracker was this book entertaining! It made me laugh alot! There was so much witty banter that made the story so incredibly enjoyable you really don’t want it to end!
Dominic is the grumpy man, he thinks alot of his employees hate him. When he causes Ally to lose a job needless to say the adventure or rather fighting moments of sass, really made me smile!!
Ally was a force unto her own! She was struggling to make ends meet but thankfully lands a job of a lifetime or is it!???It remains to be seen how Dominic and Ally get along, the words they utter are so entertaining you cant help but giggle! Is it a sign that there is attraction on both sides???
Beware for a fantastic storyline, fun characters, steamy and sad moments that wrap this book up in a romantic comedy bow!!!
Absolutely brilliant!!! I definitely need to read more of this authors work! Such great writing! Thank you for making my days better with such a fun story!
What a cracking story, from the first chapter, I knew that this book was going to be great and I wasn’t wrong. Lucy Score is a new author to me and why I have not come across her before, I have no idea.
The chemistry between Ally Morales and her new grumpy boss Dominic (Dom) Russo is off the charts and the banter between them had me in stitches, not to mention the arguments and sniping at one another. Ally is my type of heroine, sassie, strong, determined and feisty and I could easily see her as a friend. I loved Dom’s mother Mama Delassandra, she was a great secondary character.
This was a laugh out loud, hilarious read that had me receiving many funny looks from my family. Although there was a lot of fun, there were also some sad moments that had me shedding a tear. This is a fabulous book and a great example of the RomCom genre.
Although this is my first book from Lucy Score in will not be my last.
By a Thread is romantic comedy at its best!
Lucy Score is a new author to me but that’s about to change because I loved everything about this book, I loved the characters, the plot and the witty banter that flowed throughout. This is one of those books that you know is going to be a special read from the first chapter, this author draws you in and this story doesn’t to let you go until you have the final line.
Ally Morales has just started working for Dominic Russo and already she is wondering why she is working for such a grump but Ally is strong and sassy and she won’t stand for any nonsense even if he is her boss. The arguments and the constant snipping add to the humour in this very funny read and once you add in the secondary characters you get a fun hilarious entertaining story. This book ticked all my boxes, I laughed, I smiled and I shed a tear or two at the emotional moments and as I said at the start of my review this is rom-com at its best. I can’t wait to read more from this very talented author. Great job Ms Score
