Blurb:
He always gets his way…until he meets his match.
“I need you back. Now.”
―William Walker
I can’t believe I’m letting my ex-boss talk me into working for him again. He’s arrogant. Domineering. He gets under my skin in ways I don’t want to admit. When I quit, it felt great! But now, seeing the big, bad billionaire rendered helpless by a baby, I give in to his demand. And I’m worried it won’t be the last time…
―India Crowley
Big Shot by Katy Evans is a sexy office romance told from both William and India’s point of view. Big Shot can also be read as a standalone but is better read after reading Boss by Katy Evans.
About Big Shot:
The worst part of work for India is dealing with her ass of a boss William. The best part about her job is having the ability to look at her drop dead sexy boss whenever she wants. But sometimes enough is enough and this girl needs to find a new job. When she receives a freelance writing opportunity, Indie all but throws her resignation and a good riddance in William’s face. So it comes to a shock that he’s now calling her asking her to come back for two weeks, he’ll even pay her double what he paid and cab fare. Sometimes money speaks and it’s spoken to the right person.
William is in dire need of help, he’s on babysitting duties for the next two weeks, and the only person he trusts with his niece Rosie is the bombshell who just threw her walking papers in his face. What’s a man to do but call, grovel, and throw in a few extra bucks in order to get his way.
When India accepts his offer and his proposal that she works from his home office, she thinks she knows what she’s getting herself into…. Until she steps foot in the lion’s den.
My Thoughts:
Katy Evans is one of my autobuy authors. She’s been a favorite of mine from the very start. But as I learned in my reading life history, you’re not going to absolutely fall head over heels in love with everything a favorite author rights. It’s a process you have to set yourself up for. With that being said, I liked Big Shot, but I didn’t fall head over heels in love over this novel.
I liked the fierce and sassy spirit that India throws into this novel. She had me laughing and cheering her on during her quitting moment. I loved her feisty attitude towards William. She’s the woman who refuses to fall at his feet, and that’s something this CEO isn’t used too. Of course, this moment is a bit cliched now, but I still loved it all the same.
I also loved the beginnings of William’s babysitting duties. I loved how this calm, cool, and collected boss instantly crumbles under the pressure of watching a baby on his own. I also loved how he showed a softer side when in Rosie’s presence. It warmed my heart seeing this man holding onto his niece and preparing to do everything it takes to get her to stop crying. I loved these moments most.
Now onto the reasoning behind why I only gave this novel a 3 star rating. I was looking forward to the overwhelming chemistry that comes with a novel written by Katy Evans, Sadly, I Didn’t feel the chemistry between India and William that I wanted. I wanted more longing glances and come hither looks.Because I didn’t connect with the main characters chemistry, the relationship felt a little off for me. I just needed more from these two.
Overall, I liked Big Shot but this wasn’t a love for me; and believe me when I say, I wanted to love the hell out of this novel. I’m still looking forward to seeing what Katy Evans has up her sleeve next. Here’s to hoping her next novel is chalked full of heart gripping chemistry. I’m still a fan for life!
