Dirty Boss #1
My Pet
Nervous, scared, and completely unqualified. That’s the way I walked into Jack Shaw’s office building. I walked out with my stomach in knots for a completely different reason. My heart is pounding like I had actually went running.
My head and heart at war with quitting or working through the fiery desire he stimulates through me. At the end of the day, I leave the decision to him. The problem is I can’t tell if he wants to toss me over his desk or out on my rear. I guess by the dark look in his eyes, I’ll soon find out.

This short read is insta everything - attraction, declarations of love and getting into the smut.
And from there it was sex all the way.
I found the introduction of some characters and plot points a little confusing because things weren't completed.
Once the H and h got down and dirty any plot went bye bye.
Recommended for a quick low stress read.

I really enjoyed this office romance. Jack was completely taken by his new assistant, Petra but had to proceed with caution since things could end up in a lawsuit. The only problem was Jack couldn't handle his newfound possessiveness he felt over Petra. Meanwhile, Petra just quit her last job because her boss was a little handsy so she was scared her new, grumpy CEO boss, Jack Shaw was going to fire her.
These two were so cute with all their inner monologue, Jack's grumpy behavior and Petra speaking without thinking. Through it all Jack was determined to make Petra his, there just wasn't any other option.

This is a sexy , hot office romance between Petra and her boss Jack. Lusting after each other but each holding back, her in fear of being fired and with him fighting his obsession of her. The author brings a drama filled story with tons of heat and delivers an entertaining quickie. It's well written, moves fluidly and I enjoyed reading.

C. M. creates a world in her stories that I'm always excited to dive into. She never fails in her ability to engage a reader from start to finish.

My pet
If you’re looking for a short sexy read then this will hit the spot. Not much in terms of plot but the build up to them getting together was good.

This is book 1 in the series and focuses on Jack and Petra.❤️🖤
Petra works with a temp agency and ends up being the new assistant for Jack. She is really nervous about doing well because she feels she is unqualified for the job and dosn't want to be fired!!
Jack is completely obsessed with Petra at first glance he watches her come into the building and is immediately interested in her, When she is brought to his office by another coworker, Elliot he gets grumpy. She’s his no other man should be near her at all he thinks..
He absolutely hates when other guys try to talk to her so he turns into a controlling, possessive, jealous caveman and ends up coming off like an a**hole!! He runs hot and cold with her and she is so confused by it but gives as good as she gets with him..
Petra tells her best friend all about him and what he's doing and that they have to go away for the weekend, but her best friend knows that Jack is obsessed with her but Petra doesn’t think that's the case so her best friend put a plan in motion for her and too see if it makes Jack even more jealous, they make it to attend a conference in vegas and of course men hit on her there and jack doesn't like it he gets all growly and grumpy, he cant stand the men looking her and carries her out over his shoulder, he pops her cherry, wanting to fill her with his seed and breed her and they get married at a drive through chapel.😍😍
This was a perfect love story, Jack was the perfect amount of possessive, protective, and over the top. This was a great start to the series and i wasn't disappointed at all.

My reviews always contain spoilers, I write them so I can remember the story.
Petra is a new temp assistant for Jack the boss, he watches her come into the building and is immediately interested in her. When she is brought to his office by another coworker, Elliot he gets grumpy. She’s his no other man should be near her. That is the theme of the book, every breathing man wants Petra and Jack goes OTT jealous possessive every time. He runs hot and cold with her and she is confused but gives as good as she gets with him, she not a shrinking violet. He makes it so she has to attend a conference in Vegas with him, of course men hit on her there and he gets all growly and grumpy, he Cant stand the men looking at her and carries her out over his shoulder and marries her at a drive through chapel. The sexy times were steamy and plentiful she’s a virgin and he’s not a manwhore. I love yous and two epilogues, one year later married and five years later with three kids.
Both characters were kind of all over the place and it was hard to connect with them.

the mmc is quite aggressive with his approach, he's also controlling, possessive, jealous and very much a caveman. usually i don't have problems with that most specially in novellas, these traits are expected. however, with the mmc acting out on every turn being a dick to the fmc one minute then being a territorial ass another hot minute didn't work for me. he also kept growling whenever someone approach her, and of course she has to talk to them cuz it would be rude if she didn't.
the fmc was wishy washy too, she's afraid of him and hesitant then she had a 180 wanting to seduce him. she's a also a virgin which annoyed me, why do fmcs have to remain untouched? for someone who doesn't have an experience all of a sudden she became this sexy vixen who isn't afraid to go after what she wants.
overall, this is supposed to be a 3 star read for me but the mmc kinda ruined it so i'm bumping it to 2 stars

Petra feels so unqualified for the job she is being sent as temp to. Little does she know that she is going to be the assistant to the CEO of the company. The man is so attractive but he must not like her as he so grumpy around her.
Jack took one look at Petra and knew she would be his, she just needs to get used to it. When one of his staff tries to take her to lunch he is determined to nip that right in the bud.
It takes Petra’s friend interfering in her wardrobe for her to understand that her boss just might be interested in her. Jack is an alpha male that is more than ready to get rid of all the competition. This is a steamy read.

First things first; I like the cover of this book!
My pet is the first book in the ‘’a dirty boss’’ series.
This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. When Petra gets a new job she doesn’t expect to find love. Jack is a successful businessman. When Petra becomes his personal assistant, he wants her.
The chemistry between Jack and Petra is clear to see and I loved them together. I loved how possessive Jack was of Petra.
I liked the ending and the epilogue for this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I look forward to more books from this series.

4 Star My Pet (Dirty Boss #1) by C.M. Steele
Audio review:
If you are looking for an instant love story which is not a long listen, then this is the book for you. C.M. Steele is a new author to me, and I found this an interesting listen. Jack Shaw is an over the top, domineering man who instantly decides that Petra Novak is his
From the moment she meets her new boss, Petra is intimidated and nervous and yet there is something about the domineering man that calls to her. Jack is possessive and determined to make Petra his and it was entertaining to watch their story play out.
The narration by Marie Hawkins and Hector Carrillo who are both new to me was entertaining. They brought the characters and story to life for me.

This is a great way to kickoff the new Dirty Boss Romance Series with Jack and Petra steaming up the pages. Jack is the perfect blend OTT alpha with a heart of gold and he knows as soon as he sees Petra that she's the one for him. Petra has been assigned to work for Jack as his new assistant and she's attracted to him too but she doesn't think that he wants her. You really need to read this short and steamy story to see what happens. I would definitely recommend reading this steamy book and I'm looking forward to the next book in this series.

Petra works for a temp agency and has just been assigned to be the executive assistant to the demanding CEO. She isn’t certain what to make of the man’s behavior but the one thing she does know is that she needs the job so she can’t give in to the attraction she has for him.
From the moment that Jack saw Petra he knew that he would be claiming her as his own. Now he just needs time to convince her and that means ensuring that no other man is allowed close.
The chemistry between them is intense and Jack wasn’t about to let anyone or anything stand in their way. I listened to the audio copy and thought the narrators were a good choice for the characters and their story.

But when Mr. Shaw lays eyes on Petra he is determined to claim her as his own. If you like possessive, super jealous alphas that fall hard and fast for their woman, you will love this series.

I thought that this was a fantastic book. I loved Jack and Petra with their amazing connection and chemistry. I love the Petra speaks her mind and Jack isn't afraid of growling at anyone who gets to close to his pet. I really hope we get Val's book in this series. I would highly recommend this book and Ms. CM as must read author.

His Only Pet!!
Another great read from CM. I loved Jack and Petra, these two were definitely made for each other. Jack was definitely the Growly, Obsessed, Possessive Boss when it comes to his new assistant. When the chance finally arrives to claim his pet, Jack throws Petra over his shoulder and claims his pet over and over again. Petra is definitely a willing participant in all of the shenanigans as she had lusted after her boss from the moment she met him. Great Read!!

I’m not sure what I actually read. This book was all over the place, I couldn’t tell whose point of view everything was supposed to be from as it seemed to keep switching. It read more like someone telling a story and rushing through it. I didn’t even understand what was going on. No spice at all, and completely infantile. Her pretending to have a boyfriend to make him jealous, and him somehow falling for her even before they met. This was all around an hour of time I wish I could have back.
