The cover, the title and the blurb drew me to this book and I believe I let myself judge the book by its cover!! I've not read any other books by the author but I do like her style. Luckily the cover and blurb lived up to my expectation. Great book.

I have never read anything by this author before, but after reading the blurb, I decided to give it a go. In the beginning, I really liked the story. I enjoyed meeting Holland and Oliver. I loved the banter and interactions between the two of them. The tension was great and couldn't wait to see where their story was going to go. 

As the story progressed, I did start to have some issues. The pacing became slow, and I just wasn't into all the back and forth between Oliver and Holland. I love good angst and the will they/won't they as much as the next person, but for some reason, I just wasn't feeling it between Oliver and Holland. The angst was missing and all the back and forth was driving me nuts. Also, I don't feel as though Oliver stayed true to himself throughout the story. I loved the cocky jerk he was in the beginning of the story and as the story progressed, I don't feel that he was as strong and as confident as he was in the beginning. Don't get me wrong, I totally get that being with Holland would change him, but I missed the confident, cocky man. Also, Oliver made some pretty questionable decisions and assumptions about a certain issue that really turned me off. And When Oliver does get his head out of his ass, Holland forgives him way too quickly and that just really bothered me. In the end, both the characters and overall story left me wanting more.

Aside from this issues that I had with this book, I will say that it does deal with some heavy issues and I can kind of understand some of Oliver's behavior. I think this book had a lot of potential, but it just missed the mark for me. I think this is definitely a situation where this book will work for some, but not for others. Even though this book was a miss for me, I'm still glad that I took a chance and checked it out.

Oliver Cody whos been away from how to figure out what he really wants in life. His time is cut short when he told his parents where in an accident. Oliver believed his whole life he was one person to find out he someone else really threw him for into a rage. CEO of his firm He was angry for being lied to his whole life now left alone hes straying to figure out who and where he belongs.

How the 2 meet when Oliver cuts in line a the coffee shop in his building. To say the least Holland gives him a piece of her mind. Oliver cant help but to be like shes not taking his crap. Lately hes been less than stellar mood. Since meeting Holland hes been more manageable to deal with life she is his light the more hes with her hes calm.

Life was good till twist and turns When Oliver thinks he being lied to again. He turns on the one person who loves him. Will the be able to forgive and move on

Mr. Big by Delancey Stewart is a well written if formulatic contemporary romance book with a fun plot but slightly forgettable characters. Overall I just wished it had more. More depth of character, more action, more witty dialog, more steam and more memorable in general. But it's a good pick for light reading. I appreciated the opportunity to read the book and Thank Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for a honest review.

I loved this book!! It was a very sweet story. The characters were fantastic I especially loved Holland's spunk when her and Oliver met. The story of their journey was so intriguing I couldn't put it down. Beautifully written.

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone that is looking for a sweet heartwarming read.
Received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review by Net Galley and Loveswept.

This romance novel was about two damaged lovers and how their love eventually healed their souls so they could find their HEA. Oliver was a CEO that was on an extended leave from his company to find himself. A tragic accident forces him back where Holland, a new employee grabs his attention. She is a former foster child and is working hard to prove herself in a man dominated company by inventing new badly needed software for the company to survive. Holland does not know that Oliver is the CEO for the first part of the story.

Oliver acts like a immature jerk most of time and Holland forgives him repeatedly.. The reader does not know if their love can conquer all their challenges and issues till the end of the story. The ending was good and saved the book from just being a OK read.

Unfortunately the book was not for me, no review was publicly posted on Amazon, B&N, Goodreads or Twitter etc, so no ratings were affected in relation to it

I really enjoyed this story. Oliver had everything you could imagine until his world is destroyed and then realizes his life was a lie. Oliver became overcome with darkness but meeting Holland brought back the light he desperately needed. Holland & Oliver was really good together but there were times that Oliver just drove me insane and it killed me reading how much he hurt Holland especially at a time when she needed him the most. It was an emotional story and I did love the characters and will definitely read another of Delancey's books

Hmm... What do I think of Mr. Big? Oliver is brooding and angry when the book opens. He is suffering through the loss of his parents and a secret they kept for his entire life. He is angry, confused and pretty much has given up caring about anything and everything until Holland showed up in the company's coffee shop and gave him what for.
Holland's life hasn't been easy. She grew up on foster homes and has fought for everything she had. She has a plan for her life and plans on sticking to until she meets Oliver.
I actually enjoyed this book. The back and forth between Holland and Oliver. The anger and the breakups, the realization that they don't want to live without each other.

Mr. Big was an ok read.....I was entertained by holland and Oliver. All work and no play make for a slow read....but don't get me wrong I loved them together.......Holland the girl from foster care helps Oliver come to terms with being adopted....

First off I think the title to this book is misleading but no matter. We first meet Oliver Cody a young man who while in college came up with a formula to help better swimmers and betters/bookies. His father was already a successful businessman and he helped Oliver build a company, Cody Technology, that created the software and they made Oliver millions. Oliver had already grown up in a very wealthy household. But Oliver felt like he wasn't important in running the company so he took off to see the world. While gone tragedy struck and he was forced to come back home. He was supposed to retake his position as CEO of the company but he learned that his parents had kept a huge secret from him his whole life and it destroyed him. He was drinking and f**king and his way through his life and was still miserable.
Meanwhile Holland a girl who graduated top of her class has always wanted to work for Cody Technology but instead of getting the technical position that she applied for and was qualified for she was given a job in sales. Her male classmate who practically flunked out was given the position she so desired. As Holland put it you didn't get anywhere in Cody Technology unless you had a penis. But Holland was determined to not give up. She's had a hard life and she worked hard and pulled herself up from her unfortunate past. She had a life plan and the first step was to get the job she wanted. So she began a secret project. One that if it was successful could bring the company lots of money. But there were a couple of obstacles in her way.
When Holland first meets Oliver she has no idea who he is. He looks like a bum and is rude. She calls him an ass! At the time she only knew him as Hale, a nickname he had picked up long ago.
Despite their difference in economic upbringing they share a similar background that we find out about...but to tell you would be to spoil it for you.
One night while Holland was working on her secret project in a coffee shop Oliver saw what she was working on and offered to help. Seeing as he created the original program that Holland was trying to enhance he had a lot of knowledge but of course Holland still didn't know who Oliver was. Grudgingly she accepted his help. As they spent time together Oliver began to come out of his darkness and rage. He considered Holland his sunshine. He also thinks she is extremely intelligent and funny. But things turn ugly when Oliver finally tells Holland who he really is. She is livid that he lied to her. The closeness that they had shared was gone and Oliver began to spiral back into the darkness again. But then they finally reconcile only to break up again for a different reason. This goes back and forth which drove me crazy.
There are some interesting parts to this book and the writing is well done. I really didn't like Holland until the end of the book but I sympathized with Oliver over Holland's behavior.
My rating on this book is based on my own hang up on a certain storyline. I think most romance readers will love this book.
This is a standalone book with a HEA.
I voluntarily reviewed this book.

Loved the story and the writing, the cover is so wrong!

This has been by far one of my favorite love stories. It hits all the right elements in just the right way.

Oliver aka Mr. Big (Dick), awesome name btw, is a broken man trying to find his footing in life after the death of his beloved parents. Or so he thought of as his parents until their death. His company is about to go under from his half a year off followed by his mourning.

Holland is a firecracker in a mans world. She has to deal with male egos, while trying to make a name for herself in a field few woman are "allowed".

When they meet at the coffeehouse where Oliver is dubbed his moniker it is all fireworks.

Now I do hope for a next book for Pamela and Sam. Then we get to see more Holland and Oliver.

3 out of 5 stars Kindle Copy for Review

Oliver learns he is adopted when his parents sudden die and his lawyer informs him of the news. He wonders if his whole life is a lie as the CEO of his dad’s company as he disappears for eight months trying to find himself. He reluctantly returns as the company might be in financial disaster.

Holland O’Dell likes to plan ahead and she is has no time for relationship. Trying to prove herself in the business world that she is just as good as a man. She is busy working on a pitch for MLB and needs Oliver help for the presentation not knowing who he really is until the presentation.

As they work on the presentation they hit it off personally. They also share that they were both given up at birth and do not know who their parents are.

Can they make things work out despite the initial lie and that he is her boss? Will this lead to something more or will it be too much a taboo for them to move past? An enjoyable read.

This is a new author for me, but I enjoyed the writing. It also had a unique and interesting plot which is sometimes hard to find in a contemporary romance. Definitely worth giving it a try.

A fantastic read with engaging characters who really drew you in. It was refreshing reading from the view point of both the man and woman and had just the right amount of will they, won't they, to keep you reading and wanting more.

I certainly enjoyed reading this and would recommend it to anyone else who enjoys this genre.

Readers looking for an interesting story with heart, romance, and finding what you really want out of life need to look no further than MR. BIG by Delancey Stewart. A mix up and mistaken identity lead to sparks flying when hot and angst filled CEO, Oliver Cody, runs into his spitfire employee, Holland O'Dell. Telling off your boss isn't the most conventional way to get ahead in business but it definitely gets their attention. Readers will enjoy watching Holland and Oliver navigate their way throughout the story. Definitely recommend.

Boring and the cover does not go with the content. Its all in the wrong genre.

This is a story about finding true love and finding yourself, no sweet heart felt romance it's drama from the off with Oliver and Holland each working through there own crisis in this angst ridden plot. For Oliver returning to the company he and his father created was something he never intended to do, forced to return due to the devastation of loosing his parents he is an emotional and turbulent mess. Angry at the world especially when he discovers his parents kept a secret from him that changes everything he once knew about himself.

Holland is a planner she has goals and sets out to achieve them any way that she can stick in the wrong job at the right company she has had to amend her plans slightly, (which we all know does not sit well with a planner). Working on a secret project that will hopefully get her to where she needs to be in her plan, she accepts help from an unusual source. Never expecting that the scruffy bum that helps her is actually the new or shall i say returning CEO. With the pair clashing at every turn the tension between them eventually becomes something more and with Oliver helping her to complete more than one of her goals the question becomes is he their future for her.

A little slow in places this book was an enjoyable read. I loved the interaction between Holland and Oliver and their cast of sub characters Holland and her sister a prime example of this, especially when her nieces were around. A quality 3-4 stars read in places it felt dragged out between Holland and Oliver I really just wanted to shout get over it! Move on! But overall the book was enjoyable and I look forward to reading more.

Mr. Big by Delancey Stewart was a fantastic book. It was very entertaining and attention grabbing. I was totally hooked right from the very beginning to end. This book was sexy, sassy, and emotional. The chemistry between Holland and Oliver was totally amazing. Oliver was the CEO of Cody Tech and had everything he wanted. A loving family and fiancé then he decided it wasn't for him and decided to take a break from the company. While he is living up his life he gets a call that he was not excepting. His parent were in accident and didn't make it. Holland grew up in foster home and foster home but had a great relationship with her sister and the woman who raised her. Holland was a very beautiful and smart woman who worked hard to get what she wanted. She was a meticulous planner and had an agenda. She went to apply for a job at Cody Tech she was more that qualified for only to have it given to someone less qualified but because he was a man he got the job. Find out how Oliver and Hollands path's cross and what they have in common. I recommend this book you will not be disappointed.
