For Scarlett Elwood, starting a new job as an associate in the mergers and acquisitions department of the law firm her father co-founded is the culmination of a lifelong dream. She's wanted to be an attorney since she was a child and won't let anything stand in her way - especially her new boss, Hudson Rhodes, who seems to delight in his reputation as the company villain. Sparks fly from the moment they meet, and both are determined to come out on top. But what happens when their animosity turns into attraction?
This book was so much fun! Scarlett and Hudson's witty banter kept me laughing and turning the pages quickly, as did the deliciously slow burn of their growing chemistry. When they finally acted on their feelings, the payoff was totally worth the wait. They were perfectly matched in every way and I loved cheering them on to their HEA.
I highly recommend this story for all contemporary romance and romantic comedy fans. I can't wait for R.S. Grey's next release!

About "Mr. Big Shot"
Biting banter, fake relationships, and illicit workplace rendezvous--anything goes in this romantic comedy from USA Today bestselling author R.S. Grey.
While most little girls grow up idolizing Ariel or Belle, I was banging a plastic gavel and pretending to be Judge Judy. I spent my summers divorcing Barbie and Ken and splitting their Dreamhouse assets. Now, my goal to become the very best acquisitions lawyer at the top firm in Chicago is within reach.
I'm one month into my big-girl job at Elwood Hoyt, venti Starbucks in hand, ready to take on the day. The sleek elevator doors are about to close...then he steps in after me. Hudson Rhodes—the one senior partner I was told to avoid at all costs—just so happens to be the heartless villain I'm assigned to work under.
Ever since he found out who I am—the Scarlett Elwood—we've been enemies, the sort who constantly bicker and bark, take jabs in the boardroom, and occasionally pop up shirtless in each other's steamy dreams. Y'know, that kind. He has to know I could run to my dad at any time and demand his firing, but his confident smirk says he knows I'd never give him the satisfaction.
The elevator chimes as we reach our floor, and I feel his broad shoulders pull even with mine. Fury mixes with fear, hatred with lust. He turns to briefly hold my gaze before confidently stepping out in front. His message is clear:
If I want to reach my goal, I'm going to have to go through him first.
