~**~ ARC Review: Boss Girl (Minnesota Ice #2) by Lily Kate ~**~


***4 “Puzzles” Stars***

Having thoroughly enjoyed Delivery Girl, the author’s debut novel, I was definitely looking forward to seeing what she would be offering up next and I wasn’t disappointed. Boss Girl is a quick, easy and engaging read with just the right balance of humor, heart and drama and characters that will worm their way under your skin and into your heart.

If you read Delivery Girl (You don’t HAVE to, but you should), you’ve already met Jocelyn Jones and may not have the best view of her. I actually found her quite intriguing and wanted to know what made her tick and I have to say that I absolutely admire the woman. Yes, she is all business and can be seen as icy, but she isn’t without heart and learning about her past and how it shaped her showed me that her heart is much bigger than anyone could even guess and seeing her evolve was a beautiful process.

Landon Boxer was simply swoon worthy. Single dad, hockey hottie and one of the most down to earth guys around made him absolutely ovary bursting. Talk about a good man. He loves hockey, but he loves his daughter more and her happiness is his first priority. I loved how he viewed being a hockey stud and how he wouldn’t compromise his integrity for anyone.

Jocelyn and Landon have a few roadblocks to navigate around in their journey to their HEA, but I enjoyed how they worked their way past and through each of them. While there was some drama, it stayed out of the angsty realm, and they both acted like the adults they were instead of resorting to game playing and expecting the other to read their minds. I was pleasantly surprised with how everything played out for them and thought they were a perfect match.

I really enjoyed the path the author took with this book. There were many times when she could have made things more difficult and drawn out the drama, but she didn’t go there. She kept things simple and realistic. Charli, Landon’s daughter was a lot of fun to read and I loved what she brought to the story. And though this book is apart of the Minnesota Ice series, it doesn’t have much to do with the Minnesota Ice other than Jocelyn’s connection to the first book, but there is still a little hockey in it. I’m really enjoying Ms. Kate’s writing style and voice and am looking forward to what Birthday Girl will bring us!

Good things come in extra-tall, smoking hot stilettos.

Things like Jocelyn Jones.

Jocelyn “Ice Queen” Jones is the hottest agent in town, and I’m determined to make her mine. My agent, that is. She’s the best at what she does, which is why I’m intent on keeping our relationship strictly platonic, even if the sexual tension between us is thick enough to slice with a skate. After all, I already have a woman in my life. My daughter, Charli, and we’re not sure if there’s room for someone else.

Until Jocelyn Jones breaks all the rules. She lets her icy exterior begin to melt, treating me to a view no man has ever seen before. Suddenly, I’m no longer certain if I want to be on her roster, or in her bed—for good.

Tangling business with pleasure has never been on the agenda. Then again, neither has falling in love.

They say it’s bad business to sleep with the boss.

But they haven’t met Jocelyn Jones.
