Sexy, snappy, romance. Good character development and lots of sexy scenes.

An engaging modern day love story/comedy that I found absolutely delightful. The female main character along with two friends have netted $69 million each after winning the lottery. Before claiming the money, she tries, unsuccessfully, to have her boss fire her. Her tricks only make her more desirable to her boss who had become aware she wants to be fired but not the reason why.

I have rated this book 4.5 stars and recommend it if you enjoy a light-hearted story.

I obtained a ARC from Netgalley for my unbiased review.

Kiersten could quick her job but the thrill of annoying Cole Harrington, her smokin' hot boss, means that I must put down all beverages while reading this story. I may need them to toss at Cole, his demands are over the top, and he expects your undivided attention. Will Kiersten give him the thrashing that he needs ;)?

One irritatingly sexy boss, a wager, and a whole lot of wickedly funny scenes and hilarious one-liners are just a few reasons why Kira Archer is one-click worthy!

When you download this be prepared for a take-out dinner night! You won't be able to put it down. Well played Kira!

This was the first book that I have read by Kira Archer, and it was a blast. The book is refreshing and very funny (laugh out loud), sexy, and witty. It is a different outtake on an office or work setting relationship. Reminds me of the books Bridget Jones Diary by Helen Fielding and Wallbanger by Alice Clayton.

I really don't have anything else to say, other than ... Bravo! Really loved it and looking forward to reading more of her books.

69 Million Things I Hate About You is a fast and funny reading pleasure.
I would`ve never thought that getting terminated could be so difficult and exhausting. LOL.
Add an sexy billionaire who isn`t used to lose and who`s aware of the termination pool and you`ll get an hilarious read!

"69 Million Things I Hate About You" (Winning the Billionaire #1) by Kira Archer

My Thoughts...

When I first started reading this novel I was wondering would I like it this particular read. Well, I dd finding it a sweet humorous read that will keep your attention till the very end. I tell you that Kiersten Abbott really puts it on Cole Harrington and in the end how it all comes together being quite a nice fun enjoyable read. Truly winning that lottery ticket with her friends started it all! I did find it somewhat predictable in spots but it was still a good read with some of the funniest scenes...one of them being [Kiersten and Cole's mother] that will have you laughing out loud!

Thanks to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for the ARC in return for my honest review.

I loved this book! Just what I need to get me through a week of no power after Hurricane Irma.
I laughed, cussed and wanted to reach through my kindle and choke someone (just once) but Kira has outdone herself.

Kiesten has won the lottery with two of her other friends, and while they wait for all the legal things to be set in place, she decides that a little turn about is fair play with her jack hat of a boss, Cole.
Omg, Cole was such a jerk. Poor Kiersten inherits this job after he demands her boss cancel her weekend plans to attend a conference with him and she refuses. Why? Because she's getting married.
He doesn't give a rats butt. Yes, he's that bad. So he fires her and Kiersten, who basically does all the work anyway, slides right into the job. Unfortunately this puts her on call 24 hours a day and when Cole works, she works. He's a mess.

The story twists after the girls win the lottery and suddenly Kiersten couldn't care less about her job, the office has a pool going to see who will cave first. Will he fire her, or will she quit. Kiersten can really dish it out and I loved it. Adding to this, these two also develop feelings for each other, which creates yet another spin and all this adds up to one of the best books I've read in a while. I loved it.

Yes you should read this book. Yes you may wet your pants from laughing, stay close to the bathroom.
Just read it!!


**arc from NetGalley and Entangled in exchange for a fair review***

I received this an ARC from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I requested it hoping it would be a light and enjoyable read and that's exactly what I got. My only criticism would be that some of the side characters like Cole's mum could have been fleshed out some more.

This is the first time I've read this author and it won't be my last. I was curious how it was going to play out so I decided to give it a shot and I was approved.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book. I'm so glad. This book was such an enjoyment. I laughed so hard. Cole was impossible from the beginning and Kiersten had no choice but to tolerate it until she won the lottery, then game on!!! I highly recommend this book.

This story is really cute and funny. I couldn't stop laughing at the lengths Kiersten and Cole go to trying to best each other.

Some of the things Kiersten comes up with are genius!! She truly is an evil mastermind but thankfully she does have a limit.

You need to read this if you want a book that is a great laugh but still has some feeling. I got so attached to these characters, my eyes leaked a little from time to time.

With the supporting characters in on the plans, anything can happen.

Read it and tell me what Kiersten that had you howling with laughter.

Sadly, I had to stop reading this book at 33%. It was quite fun up to about 30%, but then I just started to roll my eyes at the silliness and stupidity. The pranks and the shit they pulled just got too much for me, and I just couldn't see this book continue for another 67% (or less, some books stop at 90%).

I loved both the characters, Kiersten and Cole, well, at least for most of the 33%, and I was shipping them like mad. Really, they are just too perfect together and I kept hoping they would at least be kissing, but by 33% nothing really happened, yes, lots of tension, some very close things (that dancing!), and of course that one time that Kiersten decided to puke all over her boss. :P

I was a bit amazed at the naivety of Kiersten, that she would think her boss wouldn't check to see if there was anything funky going on. Same go for her friends. Did they really think they could just make a betting pool under their boss his nose? Haha.

So yeah, it had a lot of potential. It could have been so much more, but sadly, the jokes/pranks just turned sour, and I couldn't imagine the story moving on.

This book has both cursing (including f-bombs) and on-screen sex, so if those things are going to cause you to leave a bad review, you should skip this one. But be aware that you're going to be missing a great book.

If you're looking for the cookie-cutter, run-of-the-mill “billionaire sweeps in and rescues the poor destitute woman from a life of middle class living (oh the humanity!) by throwing outrageous gifts at her and buying her love” shtick that is so bafflingly popular in the romance genre these days, THIS IS NOT that book and I could absolutely kiss Ms. Archer for that. Even though Cole might not know it, he and Kiersten are on equal footing for the better part this book and I absolutely LOVED that. You get a gold star (or five), Ms. Archer.

This book was absolutely hilarious from start to finish. Although some of the things that Kiersten did were over the top and could have easily veered into eye-roll worthy territory (the speakeasy and its hysterical aftermath for instance), it never did. Instead, it was all so ridiculously funny that I found myself becoming a Kindle-highlighting fool as I laughed out loud in a room full of people who probably thought that I'd lost my ever-loving mind. I didn't even care because it was so absurdly funny that I couldn't help myself. Before I'd even finished the book I had run to pre-order this book, that's how much I loved Cole and Kiersten together. I have to admit that I wasn't sure I was going to like Cole at first, but watching Cole become a 'real boy' instead of just a workaholic who was kind of self-absorbed as Kiersten pushed him further and further out of his comfort zone was so much fun. Kiersten was great from start to finish, but I especially loved the way that she worked to right a particular wrong toward the end. Even though she wanted to mess with Cole, she never intended to actually hurt him and I respected her so much for that.

Another thing Ms. Archer did beautifully was to incorporate the side characters without them taking away from the main characters. Kiersten and Cole's friends (and Cole's mom) all added so much to this story but never overwhelmed it or made me wonder why they were on-screen. I really, really hope that Brooks is a match for either Cassie or Izzy because I adored him and I want to read more about him!

If you like a book that will make you laugh while keeping the sexual tension level cranked to high before it finally combusts, you have got to read this book. I have read (and re-read) many of Ms. Archer's previous books and enjoyed them, but this is now my absolute favorite by her without question. I already cannot wait for the next books in this series.

I requested and was generously granted an ARC of this book via NetGalley and the publisher. I was under no obligation to write this review or to pre-order the book – I did those things because I absolutely loved this book.

“69 Million Things I hate about You” doesn’t exactly cast romantic comedy in a new light, but its inventive, unique premise drew me to this immediately. After all, who wouldn’t want that sweet revenge on a demanding, serial-model-dater of a boss that piles you with nothing but stress and no time off?

I liked the tit-for-tat vibe, the oneupmanship that Kiersten and Cole got going the moment it was obvious that she was going to get back at him for the hard time he gave her for the past few months. But some of the games did veer towards the ridiculous/childish even as Cole put a different spin on Kiersten’s efforts to thwart him when he beat her at her own game.

Clearly, it’s all formulaic rom-com from here onwards as the stakes get higher and higher until it becomes clear that this holding pattern would break somehow, so shut down the nagging idea that having money allows you to do whatever the hell you want as both Cole and Kiersten cross over into the outlandish and give each other a hard to harder time. It’s a read that’s after all, fun though not entirely believable (I had a bit of difficulty making that leap from Cole’s and Kiersten’s pranks to their falling in love) yet adventurous in a way that makes it stick out in a long line of books.

This book is hilarious, fun, and sweet. I loved the back and forth between the two main characters, and especially that they didn't fall into bed within the first 5 chapters.

Hot and sassy story about the fiery relationship between a billionaire and his overworked assistant. After Kiersten wins the lotto with her two roommates, she decides to enact revenge on her supervisor Cole so that he will fire her. He finds out about the pool that ensues and decides not to fire her no matter what she does. I enjoyed the pranks that Kiersten came up with to try to get fired and their budding relationship. There were a lot of really funny moments although I found one of her last pranks a little farfetched. Really enjoyable read. Thanks to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for the ARC in return for my honest review.

Fun book. First time reading this author and it won't be the last. I'm still laughing thinking about the scenes with Kiersten and Cole's mom. Entertaining characters. Get this book asap.

Kiersten Abbott receives her new job by default. Sexy Cole Harrington, president and founder of Harrington Enterprises, let his first assistant go because he wanted her to attend a conference on the same weekend as her wedding. As second assistant, Kiersten’s work is cut out for her as he looks at her and says, “Let’s hope you last longer than the last three.” Little did Kiersten know her luck would change for the good when she wins the lottery along with her friends. Just to add some retribution for the long hours and no appreciation she receives from her new boss, she decides to make his life miserable by creating the Termination Pool at work to see how long it takes for her to get fired.

Cole Harrington is wondering what is wrong with his usually competent new assistant and learns about the office pool to see how long it will take him to fire her. No one outsmarts the boss so he joins the pool and plays along with his “sexier than hell” assistant.

The sparks fly between Kiersten and Cole and the lengths she goes to get herself fired are hilarious and very creative. This is a laugh-out-loud romance that is sexy and sweet. Ms. Archer creates a new and refreshing plot that made this old romance reader long for more!

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC from Netgalley.

I have to admit that the description caught my eye from the very first. How intriguing to win the lotto and not quit your job and then try to piss your boss off to make him fire you?? You have to love that. As much as the description hooked me in, the rest of the book left a little to be desired. I'm not saying it was awful. It wasn't. But the editing was very bad and distracting. I hate when that happens. I thought a little more background of the characters would've helped the story, too. If you're looking for something that reads quickly and can get past the editing errors, then I believe you'll enjoy this story. Again, it wasn't awful!

Warning, make sure you have an empty bladder while reading 69 Million Things I Hate About You. I laughed so hard. The scene with Kiersten and Cole's mother was best of all. The tension between Cole and Kiersten was just icing on the cake.

I loved it!! OMG! I spent most of the time laughing out loud like a lunatic while reading this book. My daughter thought I lost my mind...lol Cole certainly met his match with Kierstin. He was afraid of love and understandably so. But it was plain to see that Keirstin was going to be the one for him. I loved all the ways Kierstin dealt with him and put things in motion upon her quest to get fired.
Very funny and romantic...loved it!! I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for my honest opinion.
