I have enjoyed many of her previous books but this one was too short on details. The plot was so obvious it was boring. The “strong” man was very weak and a disappointing character. Not her best work.

Tempted by the Bosshole is the 11th book in the Forbidden Confessions series by Shayla Black. Nathan Price is wealthy businessman who is bitter about an ex-business partner who stole from him, and an ex-wife who cheated on him and was about to marry that ex-business partner. He planned an eleaborate revenge where he planned to seduce, marry, and “breed” his business partner’s daughter, who was 22 to his 40 years. Isabella was a recent college graduate. She had just started a new job and had to make an appearance at her office Christmas party. She stopped at home on the way to pick up a necklace and discovered her boyfriend of six years in the shower with the neighbor. She subsequently dumped him and headed to the party considering the possibility of a revenge hookup. At the party she meets Nathan who whisks her to his house for the hottest night of her life. But the other shoe drops the next morning. I feel horrible saying this since I adore this very talented author, but, this isn’t my favorite series and not my favorite book in the series. I think the problem is that it is hard to write a novella love story with this big a conflict convincingly and it perhaps shouldn’t be used for a revenge trope. The problem is that after all the buildup in the relationship, when the terrible awful perpetrated by the revenger comes to light, there is little time to resolve the conflict convincingly. That was the biggest drawback in this novella where the resolution happens way too abruptly. That withstanding, it is a good story, just not the excellent story that I am conditioned to expect from this author. It also has plenty of the spicy hot chemistry that this author is known for! If you like a good contemporary love story with a revenge trope, this might be the story for you!. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

4.75 stars This is the eleventh book in the Forbidden Confessions series, and it is a steamy, forbidden age-gap that brings to mind the old adage that revenge is a dish best served cold. Bella is a young woman who winds up broke and homeless due to a cheating boyfriend and goes in search of a job. Nathan is Brook’s father’s best friend and business partner who is looking to get his revenge against his ex-partner. Why you might ask…well, if your best friend stole your wife and your money, you wouldn’t take that lying down. However, sometimes the best laid plans can throw you a curve ball leading to an outcome you never expected that wound up being in your best interest. Once again, Ms. Black has given readers a storyline that grabs one’s attention from the get-go. This is one spicy, quick read (that I wish was a little longer) that will make you do a double take when all is said and done. This is one Forbidden Confession that you want to read!
