Book Review: Tempting Her Forbidden Boss by Natalie Anderson

Tempting her Forbidden Boss was originally published in 2010 as a Harlequin/ Mills and Boon Modern Heat novel entitled “Caught on Camera”. No longer under their copyright, it has been republished and renamed  as the first of Natalie Anderson’s Billionaire Bosses, Forbidden Flings series. 

Alex Carlisle is the CEO of Carlisle Finance Corporation. Due to a tumultuous childhood and discovering his biological father a few years ago he doesn’t do relationships, commitment or families. 

Dani Russo is on a mission to fulfil a deathbed promise to her mother and to find her brother who was adopted 8 years before she was born. She has travelled to New Zealand from Australia to find him and is living in a backpacking hostel and working for Alex’s firm whilst she searches for him. She also had a very tough childhood which continues to affect her as an adult. Once her amorous encounter with Alex, however, is plastered across YouTube, Dani is fired and essentially destitute. Alex feels guilty and gives her a room in his house and finds her a job in a charity that he runs with his best friend, Lorenzo (more about him in book 2). Normally this is a volunteer position but he pays her out of his own pocket. He also offers to pay for a private investigator to find her brother. 

Originally part of the Heat series, there is lots of chemistry and sex, but both the main characters are complex, not always likeable and need to come to terms with their pasts before they can move forward. Will it all fall apart when Dani finds out the truth about her brother and Alex tells her he doesn’t do long term or will Lorenzo persuade Alex to go after her?


I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout in exchange a honest review.
