Jenny and Ethan bump into each other in the park...literally. Ethan comes across as a bit of a jerk and leaves Jenny fuming. Of course the jerk from the park turns out to be the guy who is interviewing her for a job she really needs! Although he is attracted to her and knows that he shouldn't hire her, Ethan can't resist when she corrects him on some stats during the interview . The flirting and fun between shouldn't be missed. It's a wonderful romance and I for one can't wait for book 2!

This is my first book by Sloane Howell and I loved it......I laughed.......I cried. Ethan and Jenny are like oil and water.....but the chemitry they share is out standing.......through all of the fighting and name calling they still want to tear each other's clothes off....... I will be reading more of Sloane's books.

Kindle Copy for Review

She needed the new job to pay for her dying father’s cancer bills.

He was her new boss.

They both had mothers who left them to their dads when they were young and have problems with trust.

Things did not quite smoothly during the job interview but she managed to get the job as sparks flew between them. He is not use to people talking back to him which catches him off guard. Eventually they give into their chemistry and begin a relationship.

But when things get tough, she backs away. Will they be able to save their relationship or will it just be another fling? A cute story with engaging characters who sizzle.

This book was okay. I wasn't a fan of either character and I got very annoyed at how they always broke up. I understand both of their hesitations but they both kinda acted like immature teenagers about the whole thing. I enjoyed the story but other than that nothing else spoke to me.

There were times that I really enjoyed this book but for the most part I thought that it was okay. It had a lot of potential but just fell flat for me. Both characters annoyed me. They were brash and quick to make assumptions/judgments and it really annoyed me. It was just so hot and cold. I found the Ethan to be whiny when he didn't get his way and at times and lacking of backbone when it came to his feelings toward Jenny. Like he's supposed to be this hardass alpha character but he can't even talk to her about wanting to date her? It was annoying.

I will say that I did enjoy the heat level of this book and I did like how naughty Ethan and Jenny were together. The other thing I really enjoyed was Matt. I really hope he gets his own book because he was the best.

All in all this book was just okay.

I read this book pretty quick but it has taken me some time to review it bc I wasn't really sure how I wanted to review it. I love Sloane Howell's books and writing style. This book is just as great for me. I really enjoyed the book, but I had issues with the way the characters were with each other. Jenny and Ethan I thought was a little out of the box with the interview and it was kind of hard for me to wrap my head around that part. In their relationship the are like a roller coaster, really high or really low.
I am hoping that we get another book with more about the best friends! I loved reading about them also!
Over all this book is a great read!

Wow! This book is all that and more. First the cover...whoever chose the model and the simple background was inspired. Dark hair, sparkling eyes, dimples, smirk - I want that on a poster.

The storyline is one we have all read before but Sloane Howell adds an additional dimension. I couldn't quite figure it out until I discovered Sloane is a man. He gets all the good, sexy, hot stuff female readers drool over as well as an emotional response, not often written about with such clarity, from our hero.

Add in sport, in this case baseball, and we have a winning combination.

Excellent read.

GAH!! This is a new to me author and I have to say, after all the reading disappointment I've had this week, I didn't have high hopes.. BUT BOOM! I LOVED that Jenny wasn't a pushover, I LOVED that she had balls! And Ethan? Well, I LOVE LOVE LOVED that he wasn't over the top alpha! he was PERFECT! I now must go and stalk Amazon for the rest of this authors books, because I'm hooked!! Can't wait for more!

I really enjoyed every moment of this book! It was witty, had a ton of heart, and likable characters. What more could you ask for?

I thought the book was ridiculous with a disrespectful employee (Jenny) and Ethan who was Human Resources nightmare of a boss. Then as a sign of the times, he hides out at home to avoid Jenny...A putz. Not very romantic of a man or a book.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC from Netgalley.

I've never read Sloane Howell before, but it certainly won't be my last time. Who doesn't love a sassy, smartmouthed & intelligent heroine?? This book had it all. Wonderful characters, exciting dialogue, backtalking employee & of course, the smoking HOT done for employer.

If you're looking for all the above, this right here is the book you want. You won't be disappointed! I wasn't.

Well well well Mr. Howell you may have just made me shed a tear or two!

There's so much that I enjoyed about this book. We'll start with Jenny.... she's a strong woman, raised by her dad with no mother. She knows her baseball, she's good with numbers and she can dish out a come back faster than you can. She's been taking care of her sick dad and the bills are piling in.

Jenny finds herself in an interview with her possible future boss. She may have literally ran into him before and not so good impressions were made. Fast forward to the now and she's working for that prick.... But it's double the salary and she'll do what she has to do to help her dad.

That's my second favorite thing about this book- Jenny and her dad's relationship. They made me smile, laugh, and cry. Kelsey, Jenny's best friend, fit right in just like a second daughter.

"God help me. Dad looked up to the ceiling. I took two innocent young girls and turned them into frat boys."

Jenny and Ethan's relationship is..... complicated. Ethan is the boss, trying to maintain that hard ego act in front of his employees. Actually, he's just good at being the poss period. Especially in the bedroom. Jenny and Ethan go through a lot together... work, life, love, and loss. Trying to balance it all isn't easy, there's a lot of give and take and they're really tested to their breaking points.

"Regiments, planning- my life was one big itenerary. Until she came along and trashed everything like the Rolling Stones in a hotel room."

I found myself smiling like an idiot through most of this book. It's sweet, it's smokin hot, it's funny, and even emotional. The secondary characters are right up there at the top of the likable charts. I can't wait to see what's to come in Scored!

My rating 5/5 stars
*I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Many thanks for allowing me to read this book.

I loved this book. Sweet funny and naughty, all rolled up in one.

My first Sloane Howell read and I'm pretty sure it won't be my last. Told in dual POV the story follows Jenny Jackson who doesn't take any cr*p off anyone, and successful sexy Ethan Mason who likes order in his life and runs his business in military style fashion. He's dispassionate and bordering on cruel to his staff, but when he hires feisty, no nonsense Jenny, things start to change. Their exchanges are volatile, the sex is passionate. He doesn't give in to anyone, until Jenny, but even then relationships aren't really their thing so they mess up considerably. How many times can you quit your job Jenny? I loved the writing, the story and the characters, and I really do hope for a more in-depth look into Matt and Kelsey. Light reading and a true feel good book with just a little heartache in the mix.

I really loved this book - our hero and heroine are both pretty damn spunky and both hurting. There's a happy ever after, but they have to go through hell and back to get there.

Interesting read, I will have a review posted on ibooks on release week!

This is my very first book to read by Sloane Howell. And let me just say O.M.G. This dude has blown my mind!!! This book omg! I love the banter between Ethan and Jenny. I love these two. They seriously were a great couple to read. I enjoyed everything about this book! I love the banter, the fight, the sorry's! EVERYTHING!!! I love how strong headed Jenny was and she stood up to hot shot Ethan! Hell, I'd let Ethan boss me anyday! And even Kelsey and Matt! LOVE the side characters! I hope that Mr. Howell is planning on a book for these two! The only bad thing I have to say about this book is.............it left me WANTING more! I want more of Ethan and Jenny!

This book is definitely a book that you will want to read! Grab it when it goes LIVE!!!

**Advanced copy received from the publisher and NetGalley for an honest review**

Jenny Jackson needs a job. It's really as simple as that. Her father is ailing and medical bills are piling up and he is the only family she has outside of her best friend, who also helps to care for him. On the morning of a job interview, Jenny literally runs into one of the most attractive men she's ever laid eyes on, and the chemistry is there nearly immediately, but so is the man's attitude. And it's not a good one.

When Jenny arrives at the interview and realizes the man the encountered was the owner of the agency she hopes to work for, she's less than thrilled. And his attitude toward his employees is so harsh that Jenny calls him out during her interview. She's definitely a sassy, stick to your guns kind of woman.

Ethan Mason has his reasons for acting and running his business like he does. He's seen as cold and demanding to say the least, but there is something about Jenny Jackson that gets under his skin. While he tries to maintain his usual aloofness and separation, he's constantly drawn to Jenny and finally lets her know it.

This book is full of a roller coaster of emotions and plenty of hotness, and I mean HOTNESS! Both Jenny and Ethan have their moments where you'd like to look at them and go "what are you thinking?!", but we all have those moments every day. In the end, will these two be able to get out of their own way and find a way to utilize that chemistry?

I really enjoyed the characters of Kelsey and Matt, Jenny and Ethan's best friends respectively. I'd love for them to get stories, whether together or separately. I think those would definitely be worth a read. This was my first Sloane Howell book, but it definitely will not be my last!

Bossed is an amazing read. From the very start it grabs your attention. I got to say that the first meeting between Jenny and Ethan has got to be the must explosive I have ever read. I was dying from laughter, I felt there attraction, and I think that has to be the greatest "meet" ever.  From there the book just kept on giving me all the feels. Fyi there is minimal baseball for the non sport fans like myself! While there were some pretty impressive terms that would appeal to sport lovers it totally added to the book authenticity. I think it is a huge testament to Howells writing that he made me tear up during a baseball scene. That is tallent! I loved love love the dynamic between Jenny and Ethan. So enjoyable it was read in one shot. Definitely  a must read.

Office romances are a classic favorite and this one did not disappoint. I loved that the main female character was so strong. She stood up to the hero and didn't let him treat her or anyone else with anything other than respect. This was a story about learning to be a better person and learn to things go. A fun, enjoyable read that will be a tant favorite for many readers.
