How to Kiss Your Grumpy Boss

Amazon ⚽️ Goodreads
Jenny Proctor is a new-to-me author. I read and loved Eloise and the Grump Next Door, her book coauthored with Emma St. Clair. I figured I’d give Proctor’s books a try and am currently reading, and totally enjoying, the first book in her Hawthorne Brothers series, How to Kiss Your Best Friend. If I am liking book one this much, then I know I will love this second Hawthorne Brothers novel as well. Have you read any of Proctor’s novels?
About the Book
Perry Hawthorne is my boss. Only my boss. And I do NOT have a crush.
When one of THE Hawthorne brothers—known by their chiseled jawlines and their family-run farm and event center—hires me to be his virtual assistant, I do everything I can to keep him firmly in the work zone.
His grumpy demeanor helps.
His smoking hot profile picture does not.
But even if I do have a crush (a very tiny one), I can’t catch real feelings for a million different reasons.
Besides the whole business part of our relationship, I’m a single mom. I have to think about what’s best for my son, Jack. And my grumpy, divorced, humorless boss isn’t exactly giving me “ready to be a stepdad” vibes.
When Perry upgrades me from virtual to in-person assistant, I wonder if I’ve gotten him all wrong. He’s actually pretty great with Jack. And with me? Let’s just say the chemistry crackling between us might vaporize all my reasons for keeping my distance.
Trouble is, after his messy divorce, I’m not sure Perry’s ready to bet on a new relationship. But it isn’t just my heart that’s on the line. It’s Jack’s, too. And after everything we went through before my husband died, I’m not sure that’s a gamble I’m ready to take, no matter how desperate Jack is for a daddy.
How to Kiss Your Best Friend is a sweet romantic comedy with all the sizzling kisses you want in a closed-door romance but no explicit scenes.
The Christian Fiction Girl 
The title of this book is hilarious and very inviting. I want to read Kristan Higgins’ next book, whatever it is, because her books are filled with humor. Also, Caroline Brown’s books, also filled with humor. I have CB’s latest book, one for Christmas, called JUST IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS, but I haven’t started it yet.

I’m getting a little stockpile of Christmas novels and novellas i want to read over my Christmas break. I’m getting excited. I’ve never heard of Caroline Brown or Kristan Higgins. I’ll have to check them out. 😀 Thank you for letting me know about them.

Just so you know, neither is a Christian author. Their books are mostly clean, but not completely
