Audrey is waiting for a blind date at a bar, her date is late and she ends up chatting with a handsome stranger. The stranger ends up saving her when her date reveals himself to be a bit of a jerk. Audrey and the stranger (Carter) exchange phone numbers and start texting one another in a friendly manner. Carter gives Audrey tips on dating and they chat more and more as the days progress.

Audrey has just started a new job as a junior investigative reporter at the Globe. Unfortunately, the paper was just bought by a venture capital firm and a new CEO is put in place. With the changes (layoffs, firings and organizational changes), her first investigative story is put on hold and there are rumors of worse things to come. She’s assigned an interview for the company newsletter with the new CEO. Guess who it is?

Carter wants to remain friends with Audrey and she sees herself as not being in his league so she feels comfortable around him and they carefully maintain their unlikely friendship.

As they become more comfortable with one another an attraction grows between them. I loved the progression of their relationship. It was so natural and fun with tons of chemistry. I really loved Audrey and Carter as a couple.

A Ticking Time Boss was a fun, charming, low angst, and spicy entry in the series. I enjoyed Carter and Audrey’s love story immensely. There’s a twist that sets up the conflict and I saw it coming but that didn’t detract from the story in the least. I highly recommend this contemporary romance as a really enjoyable read.

I received an advance copy of this book and this is my honest opinion.

A Ticking Time Boss, an all-new steamy office rom-com from Olivia Hayle is available now!

The golden angel who swooped in to save me from a nightmare first date turns out to be a billionaire vulture circling the company I work for.

Carter Kingsley: My savior and ruthless corporate raider hell bent on destroying the newspaper I love. Oh, and my new boss.

His first order of business? Cut half the staff. I should hate him. Easy, right?

Wrong.

I met him two weeks ago, when he saved me from the most awkward first date of my
life. I was looking for a way out when he strolled up in a ten-thousand dollar suit with a
winning smile, and told a white lie that turned the date from hell into heavenly bliss.
I left with his number in my phone, and spent the next two weeks staying up late to text him. He’s charming. Funny. Sincere.

Completely unlike the ruthless villain who comes in and carves us up.

My first order of business is to interview the new boss. But who is sitting on the other
side of the desk? The man who saved and charmed me, or the one who’s threatening everything I hold dear?

Carter insists that we can still be friends, but I know that the whole situation is a ticking time bomb.

About Olivia

Olivia is a twenty-something hopeless romantic who loves billionaires heroes despite never having met one. Taking matters into her own hands, she creates them on the page instead. Stern, charming, cold or brooding, so far she’s never met a (fictional) billionaire she didn’t like.

A voracious reader of romance, Olivia picked up the pen a few years back and what followed was a love affair of her own. Now she spends her days grinning at the steamy banter she’s writing or swooning at happily-ever-afters. Or, to be frank, struggling with writing about herself in third person for the purposes of marketing.

She’s been writing contemporary romance novels since 2018.
They’re all exclusively available on Amazon and enrolled in Kindle Unlimited.
