A steamy and hilarious standalone romance from New York Times best-selling author Samantha Towle…
I’m used to being in charge. In and out of the office.
So, when my parents go behind my back and hire a co-CEO to help me manage my family’s business, let’s just say, I don’t take it too well.
Especially not when the woman they’ve hired is the one girl who hated my guts in college. She thinks I’m an overprivileged, womanizing man-whore. I think she’s an uptight, stuck-up bitch.
And, now, she’s here, in my office, telling me how to run my company.
I don’t think so.
It doesn’t matter that she has legs that go on for days or that I keep imagining bending her over my desk and showing her just how bossy I can be.
I’ve worked my ass off and paid my dues to get to where I am, and she’s not taking it from me.
No freaking way.
Morgan Stickford is about to learn the hard way that Wilder Cross is the only boss around here.
Oh how I have missed reading Samantha Towle’s books. I haven’t read anything by her since The Mighty Storm (her first book) and don’t ask me – cause I can’t tell you. I will just blame my ungodly long TBR list. But I am so glad that I was given an opportunity to read Under Her.
Under Her is very hilarious contemporary romance. Wilder has the whit and humor I love and that balances out his assholeish ways. But Morgan has no problems standing right up to him and dishing it out as well.
Morgan and Wilder went to the same college but never ran in the same circles. As kids, they both made assumptions about each other and now that they have to run the his family’ company together. I won’t give anything away except Wilder gets more than he anticipates from Morgan.
Morgan is no longer her mousey self she was back in college. All of her hard work has paid off and she’s now in the position to prove that. Morgan has chosen to not live in the past and give Wilder a new slate to start on. But when he proves that his womanizing ways are still there, it’s hard for her to see anything past that, both in and out of the office.
Samantha once again wrote some damn entertaining and intriguing characters. Even though Wilder came across as a huge dick at times, his overall personality just won me over. It’s impossible not fall for his charm, especially once he realizes he wants Morgan and for more than just one night in bed. Morgan – I love her tenacity and how she has no problem putting Wilder in his place. She definitely makes him work for it, let me tell you.
Overall, I really enjoyed Wilder and Morgan’s wild journey (ha, I am so corny). Only small gripe was Morgan’s insistence on not talking about the past, but used the past against him in ways. Other than that, I really loved how it all panned out and flowed perfectly.

About Kristen Proby:
From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new, sexy standalone novel.
Alexandra Ivy is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author. From Alexandra: “I’m not exactly sure when I fell in love with books. Probably on my mother’s knee listening to her read Dr. Seuss to me. I do remember that I was barely old enough to cross the street by myself when I discovered the delights of the local library.
Laura Wright is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author. From Laura: “Unlike many of my peers in the writing world, I wasn’t a writer or a reader until I left high school. During my youth I was into theater, song and dance, commercials and boys. I loved romance surely, but I had never read a romance novel until my late teens. With that said, I remember the day I did like it was a moment ago – my aunt gave me the Jude Deveraux novel, Knight in Shining Armor and I couldn’t put it down until the very last word. Then I went straight to the library and got another – then another until I’d read everything she’d ever written. After that, it was McNaught, Howard, Schone, Kleypas, and the Silhouette line, Desire. I instantly loved those emotional, sexy reads, so much so that I began to carve out ideas for my own stories, themes that were unique to me and moved me. In 1997 I enrolled in UCLA extension writing classes, met my mentor and critique partners and since have never stopped writing. I was committed then and I still am now; the need to tell my own romantic stories a full on obsession. My first manuscript was rejected, and though the second one was as well the editor who’d rejected it wanted to see something else from me. I had something (note to authors; always keep working, even after you’ve sent in a proposal) and sent it right away. The day I got the call telling me Desire wanted to buy Cinderella and the Playboy was the best day of my life. That is until I married my husband, and had my two beautiful children. But I must say, writing is much like motherhood – tough, grueling, surprising, delicious and for me, a dream come true.”
