By a Thread: A Grumpy Boss Romantic Comedy

Product Information

dom, being the grumpy asshole he is, gets ally fired after she writes the letters “FU” with pepperoni on his pizza. his mom chases ally down and offers her a job at Label, which she accepts because she’s strapped really low on cash.

Dominic had then delighted both me and Brownie by stopping at our favorite ice cream place, where our little family sat in the sunshine and devoured our cones. My husband took parenting seriously. He knew our kids’ friends, knew their parents, knew who was spending what night at whose house. He knew which kid hated raspberries (Maya, the little weirdo) and who needed more space when they were upset (me and Reese). Dad, I know,” Reese sighed dramatically. “Consent. Consequences. Birth control. Jeez. Between you and Mom, I’m basically a walking encyclopedia on sex.”Dom and I weren’t quite sure where her equal love of martial arts came from, but we were down with it. Dom played a riff and bumped shoulders with Reese when she answered it. I pressed my fingers to my lips. The teenage hormones were strong with this one. I remembered the angst and misery of fourteen and prayed to the goddesses of puberty that they would be kind to our girl.

then obviously after that there was a ton of push and pull, cute situations with sexual tension and the MCs "fighting" but its just foreplay, the whole "i want you but i can't be with you" trope from the H, etc. I’ve never been around someone who always believed that things would work out. I hope I didn’t break that because your hopeful heart is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever known.I crossed to the piano and ran my fingers over the keys. “You already bought it, didn’t you?” I whispered. I found Dom behind his desk in our office. He was in sweatpants and a t-shirt that showed off his unfairly fine form. His hair had started to go gray, and I was obsessed with the deepening crinkles in the corners of his eyes. Fifty-five looked good on the man. So maybe her colorful, annoying, inexplicably alluring personality brightens up the magazine’s offices that have felt like a prison for the past year. Maybe I like that she argues with me in front of the editorial staff. And maybe my after-hours fantasies are haunted by those brown eyes and that sharp tongue.

so this book starts with Dominic Russo (H) going to a pizza restaurant where he's supposed to meet his mother (owner of the magazine company he works at) and a waitress told him that there were no phones allowed but he's an asshole so he ignores her then proceeds to be rude to her. the waitress, who is none other than our heroine Ally Morales, isn't taking any of his shit so obviously, she's rude too and she makes him a pizza where the pepperonis are written in "FU". he gets her fired cuz again, he's an asshole, plus all his frustration from the past year finally blew up and he took it out on her. his mother was having none of his attitude and chased after Ally and then proceeded to hire her. Oh, Dom.” I shook my head, eyes glistening. I’d cried a lot the last few months. Hormones and whatnot. But this feeling was something altogether different. Of course, this is a romance, a fantasy, a fiction. But I think the main characters and the story itself were designed to give an unexpected and beautiful sense of reality. In my opinion, this is one of Ms Score’s best efforts to date.The scene where Dominic was drunk and Ally had to take care of him was so out of character for him and I love it!! When the H is completely drunk and confesses all kind of things to the heroine he wouldn't normally do >>> Plot in a nutshell: Ally's already been having a very hard day when Dominic walks into the pizzeria where she's a server. By a Thread is a romantic comedy set in the New York fashion world and standing alone with a spectacular HEA. I got her fired. Okay, so I’d had a bad day and took it out on a bystander in a pizza shop. But there’s nothing innocent about Ally Morales. She proves that the first day at her new job… in my office… after being hired by my mother.
