Wall Street Journal bestselling author Nicole Snow returns with a screaming funny romance where two office enemies fake love until they're all out of make-believe.

You know that awkward moment when your lava-hot boss says “marry me?”
Not for love. Not for real. Not without a mammoth payoff.
Of course, this fortune comes with a ginormous snag—Ward Brandt.

Call me bananas.
I must be short of a full bushel rejecting Chicago's finest billionaire.
Who knew he was my boss when he crashed my worst date ever?
Oh, but he found out.
He swore I wasn't fit for Brandt Ideas, chewed me up, and spat me back out.
I vowed I'd prove him wrong—and sabotage a metric ton of his coffee.

Then tragedy strikes, upending his limitless ego.
Guess who needs an image makeover to shore up the family business.
Big fat hell no.
King Snarlypants has a peanut-sized heart and a chip on his shoulder bigger than a redwood.

Find another sucker, Ward-hole.
Even if I agreed, my shields are up.
No magnetic kisses. Zero butterflies. Nix the blushing when everyone gushes over what a “perfect couple” we'd be.
Then again...it's just ninety days and mama needs a windfall.
What's one little white wedding lie with a bossy grump built like a god?

Full-length enemies-to-lovers romance loaded with banter, drama, and so much slow-burn heat you'll want that Happily Ever After shaken over ice. A storm cloud of a man stuffed into a suit strikes a deal with the girl whose smart mouth drives him to the ultimate madness called love.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Praise for Bossy Grump:

"There's a truckload of family baggage onboard this runaway train, and the author's witty writing style still manages to deep dive into the emotional abyss as we get to the bottom of what's left of Ward's heart...I've never read a Nicole Snow book I didn't absolutely adore and this one is no exception." -Viper, Reviewer

"Off to a rocky start is an understatement. The push and pull of this couple had me snickering constantly." -Linda, Reviewer

"Nicole Snow does it again...I binged this book so hard. I may have even shed a tear and gasped a time or two and swooned quite a bit." -Brenda, Reviewer

"Too funny, I loved those emails! With a storyline as smooth as silk and characters that can be a little rough around the edges, this book hit it out of the park!" -Lisa Reviewer

"This book was pure enjoyment. The snarky humor, sizzling sparks, and witty banter really fly as Paige and Ward's story unfolds." - Gladys, Reviewer

"Character development is such an important factor in a book truly being wonderful, and in this story it's really top notch. There's so much more to the grouchy 'Warden' than the face he shows the world." -Denise, Reviewer

A BIG NO

Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2021

I've tried but I just can't finish this book. It's choppy, weird writing and needs some editing!! I can't say that I really like Ward or Paige, both act like children most of the time!! I'm on chapter 16 and there is still no romance between Ward and Paige, I hate it when an author drags a story and it takes forever to have the couple come together!! Half the time, I'm like what the hell did I just read???? This one is a BIG NO!!!!

About half-way through

Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2021

Verified Purchase

I wondered what kind of romance took 9 solid hours to read. Now, I know.
It’s a romance that leaves out no detail; irrespective of how small, insignificant, or needless that detail may be.
When I had read for about…100 years, and saw I was only to the 37% point, I almost cried. But, I kept trying.
I finally made it to the 50% before I saw what lay ahead….
At about the half-way point, I sadly realized ‘it’s beginning to look a lot like yet another Scooby Doo Mystery!’
Yay! How fun is that?
It’s beyond me, why a writer of ROMANCE feels that ‘romance’ isn’t enough.
Or why they feel like some goofy ‘suspense/thriller’ nonsense, is somehow, ‘better’. For me, it is not. Ever.
This had the foundation for a great enemies-to-lovers romance. But in her quest to….I dunno, see how far she could drag it out, I guess, the writer managed to snatch away any hopes of greatness, in favor of ‘suspense/thrills’ and….just dragging it out.

GREAT STORY ! AN ABSOLUTE MUST READ !

Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2021

Verified Purchase

After a very bad date and a rescue from a handsome knight in shining armor, Paige is finally ready to start her new job. Working for a company as prestigious as Brandt Ideas has been a dream come true for Paige. A dream come true right up until she runs into her knight once again, but this time she's not tipsy, she's mortified and her knight remembers exactly what happened the previous weekend. Now, not only does Paige have to work for Ward Brandt, but he's not too keen on having her join the company. So, when it comes to her new boss, Paige decides that avoidance, if at all possible, is her best bet. With the way Ward has been treating her, that's perfectly fine with him. That is until he needs her help and seeks her out anyway. Ward needs a fake fiancee and Paige is the obvious choice. What's not so obvious is how they feel about each other and how magnified those feelings are about to become when they have to act them out.
OMG THIS BOOK WAS TOO FUNNY, I LOVED THOSE EMAILS ! WITH A STORYLINE AS SMOOTH AS SILK AND CHARACTERS THAT CAN BE A LITTLE ROUGH AROUND THE EDGES, THIS BOOK HIT IT OUT OF THE PARK ! ! ! I LOVED WARD'S JEALOUSY AND HIS INNER DIALOGUE ! WITH NODS TO ENGUARD SECURITY AND HEARTS EDGE, I LOVED HOW THEY FIT TOGETHER PERFECTLY ! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK ! AN ABSOLUTE, DEFINITE MUST READ ! ! !

Wardhole and His Take No Crap EA ❤🔥🔥🔥❤

Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2021

Verified Purchase

A definite MUST READ from the fabulous Nicole Snow!!! Paige from "Office Grump" gets her own story, and dealing with Magnus "Maggot" is just a prelude if what is to come!!! On her date from hell she is rescued by a Dark Knight and when he gives her a ride home....you guessed it, she hits on him. Ward Brandt can't believe his grandmother hired this dunk but sexy woman to be their executive assistant. Starting off on the wrong foot is an understatement at Brandt Ideas for Ward and Paige. Paige definitely takes no crap from Wardhole and gives as good as he dishes...especially where his coffee is concerned. When Ward's grandmother, Beatrice, has health issues they have to devise a plan to prove themselves to a client and major project. Here comes the tricky part, Paige and Ward fake an engagement without killing each other and have to make it believable. With time affection and attraction grow but the expiration date looms. When Ward denies his feelings to his brother and is adamant Paige is the last woman he'd marry, she overhears the conversation and the past repeats itself for her. Ward becomes a bigger Wardhole than before and has no idea how to fix it to get Paige back. Dealing with his selfish and almost non existent parents, his grandmother's health issues is nothing compared to the loss he feels without Paige. Any ideas of how he can convince her to gives a shot to a real marriage??? Read this laugh out loud, take no crap story and fall hopelessly in love with the real as life characters. Hoping to see Nick and Reece get their story soon. It's always great to catch up with previous characters...and yes you'll get a visit from Brian and Mag in this story!!! I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book and purchased a copy for my favorites collection. Kudos to Nicole Snow!!!

This was so painfully long...the story just dragged and dragged and I skipped a lot of parts from the last pages just to finally finish. I couldn't get into this story at all...

What a good read!!!!! Now I’m going back for more!

Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2021

What a pleasant surprise! I purchased this because the blurb pulled me in. I was engrossed from page 1. The antics Paige did to Wardhole were such fun digs at him. Her wit , intelligence and trying to be strong against her grumpy boss made this a fun read. Slow burn between Ward and Paige had me rooting for them. I purchased the next book Office Grump and will be starting that today. I love a romance that has strong characters. I’m so over books that degrade women. This was well written and I enjoyed every single page!

Good read

I am a fan of Nicole snow. For me it’s an automatic click and buy. I boo booed and read book 2 first by accident. I have to say, both books were good. I did connect to the characters in both books, this one didn’t have the time gape so it was better. Would read the series again.
Overview: ward aka warden or ward hole was a very grumpy boss. But when he runs into Paige at the art museum. Paige is on a bad date and is not holding her 1 glass of wine well. Ward saves her from falling and her bad date, only to find out she is his new Executive Assistant (EA). He decided to try to fire her before she officially starts, but Grandma Bea says no. She love Paige and her ideas and hopes to train her to be the next designer (architect). But when grandma has a heart attack, Paige saves her and holds the family together. Ward decides to offer her a fake engagement to win over a client. Both agree, but both fall for each other, but the past causes issues for both of them.

Hmm…

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 10, 2021

I got Office Grump for free and although a bit ‘drawn out’ it was a decent read so I decided to purchase this one. Unfortunately this was very similar to Sabrina and Magnus’ story.. e.g Paige becoming the EA to a multimillion dollar company (as did Sabrina), both hating their boss, both falling in love with their boss, both breaking up with their bosses and both men hiding family drama. Paige annoyed me somewhat in Office Grump and my opinion of her didn’t get any better in this book. I can appreciate that she’s only in her early-ish 20’s but much of her behaviour comes across as really immature and bratty. I found myself skimming through this book because of the similarity to the first book and found it rather repetitive and boring. The main difference between the two books is that Paige agrees to a fake engagement with Ward but that didn’t keep the book interesting or significantly different from the last one either. Because of my disappointment in this book It doesn’t tempt my to get/purchase any further novels by this author

An entertaining feel good read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 1, 2021

Paige and Ward. She didn’t make a good first impression when they met as strangers. Little did she know she was about to become his new EA. The sparks will fly and she will constantly challenge him. When trouble strikes and Ward needs a temporary fiancée, Paige is the first person Ward thinks of. Working and living together, it soon becomes clear they’re more than just boss and employee. His past has left him determined never to have a permanent relationship. Can he overcome these hurdles before he breaks both their hearts? Whilst this story has plenty of drama and plenty of laughs, it’s entertaining, it draws you in and keeps you hooked from beginning to end.

Super romance

Awful date turns into a disaster but the awkwardness doesn't stop there. Girl starts new job and unfortunately the universe isn't that kind when she finds out who her boss is. There's banter and chemistry between the two in this entertaining romance. Good characters and dialogue with a simple storyline.
I enjoyed it worth a look.

Yet another outstanding read by this author .

This is Ward and Paige's story.

Both Ward and Paige are shaped by their past , both haunted that their past will be their future .
Ward fights not to be like his parents , and Paige hopes that she can find true love , and not end up being someone's place card , again .

There is a fine line between love and hate , or in Ward and Paige's case, hate and love . Past demons stand in the way , hearts need to break before they can be mended .

Such a great read
