Bedded by the Boss reminded me of the romance novels I stole from beneath my mother's bed when I was a teenager. I was addicted to these books and would stay up all night watching the tension mount between the two main characters. Inevitably, I'd end up weeping into my pillow, frustrated by the misunderstandings keeping them apart, disappointed by the missed chances. Chance's book offered a similar experience. I quickly developed an affinity for Renee. I respected her work ethic, her devotion to her daughter and her self-control towards Robert even though every part of her wanted him. As for Robert, he was very much the Alpha male. He knew what he wanted and he was going to get it one way of another, and he wanted Renee. I must admit to thinking he acted like complete and utter jerk sometimes, but I guess such strong actions were necessary to build the ever-present pressure in their relationship. Besides which, Renee got her own back in places like Chapter One's coffee scene. Now that put a smile on my face.
