ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 26, 2020
What’s the actual last thing you’d ever want your executive assistant to see you doing the morning after you had hot, drunk, angry sex with her in a terrible hotel room? Dancing around your terrible hotel room to “Come and Get Your Love” like Star-Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy—naked? Yeah. Me too.
And yet, here we are.
This isn’t even the most unprofessional thing that’s happened between us in the past couple of weeks.
The first was when I agreed to let her have Christmas Day off, but only if she goes with me to three family gatherings as my fake girlfriend.
The second was when she caught me belting out a Christmas song on stage in the awful hotel bar.
The third was the hot, drunk, angry sex that followed, but I do not regret it.
And she hasn’t even found out the real reason I need her by my side this holiday season.
I need to pull it together before I do the dumbest, most unprofessional thing of all—fall head over heels in love with the only assistant who’s lasted more than a month at the job and claims to hate me and my moods more than she hates eggnog.
And I’ve seen how much she hates eggnog.

REVIEW: . A VERY BOSSY CHRISTMAS by Kayley Loring is a stand alone, contemporary, adult, holiday themed erotic, romance story line focusing on thirty-two year old, high powered attorney Declan Cannavale, and twenty-eight year old, executive assistant Maddie Cooper.
Told from three first person perspectives (Declan, Maddie, Piper) A VERY BOSSY CHRISTMAS follows the forbidden relationship between thirty-two year old, high powered attorney Declan Cannavale, and twenty-eight year old, executive assistant Maddie Cooper. Maddie Cooper is Declan Cannavale’s executive assistant, and as such finds herself facing a Christmas working in the office with her ‘Scrooge’ of a boss but a home visit from Declan pushes all of Maddie’s buttons when our hero reveals he needs a ‘fake girlfriend’ for the Christmas holidays, holidays to be spent in Cleveland, with his family back home. Unable to resist, Maddie agrees only to discover that the Cannavale family dynamic is broken by betrayal and mistrust. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Maddie and Declan, and the potential fall-out as their time together comes to a close.
Declan knows there is a ‘no fraternizing’ policy at work but our hero is desperate. He needs a plus-one, or more specifically a buffer, to shield him from the anger and heart break of sins of the past. From Christmas Eve dinner, to a rehearsal party and the wedding of one of his brothers, Declan pulls Maddie into a potential disaster, only to discover that his heart has fallen for a woman who fears her heart will be broken when the holidays are done.
The relationship between Declan and Maddie is a forbidden romance; a fake boyfriend/girlfriend arrangement between the boss and his assistant, an assistant who very much wants to keep her job but once the couple crosses the line between a working relationship into something more, the struggle is real when both families see the potential for a permanent connection, and Maddie sees nothing but the potential for problems at work. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text. The sexual attraction is immediate and palpable.
We are introduced to a large ensemble cast of colorful, energetic and fun secondary and supporting characters including Declan’s rather loud and boisterous Irish/Italian family: sister Casey and her daughter Penelope; brothers Aiden, Eddie and Brady, and Brady’s fiancé Hannah, their parents Mamie and Tony, and Nonna Francesca and numerous cousins all raring to get down at Brady’s bachelor party- the frenetic back and forth energy between cousins is hilarious; Maddie’s sister Rebecca aka Bex, and her niece Piper; their parents Carly and Joe Cooper, as well as Maddie’s neighbour Mrs. Pavlovsky.
A VERY BOSSY CHRISTMAS is a story of family, relationships, forgiveness and love. The premise is engaging, clever and inviting; the characters are dynamic and real; the romance is spicy, flirty and seductive. A VERY BOSSY CHRISTMAS is a wonderfully, breath-taking and lively look at a forbidden relationship and another happily ever after.

Before writing steamy romantic comedy novels, Kayley Loring got a BFA in creative writing from a Canadian university and had a fifteen-year career as a screenwriter in Los Angeles (under a different name). She mostly wrote PG-13 family comedies that studios would pay her lots of money for and then never make into movies. In 2017 she decided to move to the Pacific Northwest and write about all the fun stuff that she wasn’t allowed to write about in those PG-13 scripts. Now she’s breathing cleaner air and writing dirtier words. It’s an adjustment she’s happily getting used to.
