Guest Post by Karen Erickson + Giveaway
We are very happy to welcome back to Book Lovers Inc. Karen Erickson on who we can count on to provide us with our daily romance ratio: be it sweet or sexy, Karen has it. Today she stops by to tell you about her brand new romance series about three Italian brothers, the Renaldis (of course this series is sexy, how could it be with some Italian hunk of heroes? ;-)). Please give her a warm welcome, read on to discover this new series and you could even win yourself a copy of the first book, Tempted by Her Boss! 😀
Loving the Boss
There is something so forbidden about falling in love with your boss, right? He’s the man in authority, he’s usually powerful and commanding and extremely handsome. Attentive. A little gruff, but always with good intentions. And did I mention sexy?
Okay fine, this was never the case in my real world boss experiences but hey, this is romantic fiction! As an author, I can make my fictional boss hero as sexy, charming and ruthless as ever.
I’ve written boss/employee love stories before (hello, Worth It series) and I’m doing it again in my new Renaldi series.
The first “sampler” came out last month – TEMPORARY ARRANGEMENT. It’s a free novella that offers you a glimpse of Matteo and Paige. The turmoil and the angst and the longing these two feel for each other.
To get the full story, you need to pick up TEMPTED BY HER BOSS, which came out July 2nd. And unbelievably enough, it hit the USA Today Bestseller list at #97! Talk about shocked. I must say a huge thank you to all the readers out there who picked it up. And for those of you who haven’t read it yet, maybe I can tempt you (ha ha) to check it out…
TEMPORARY ARRANGEMENT by Karen Erickson
Look, but don’t touch…
Book #0.5 in The Renaldis series
Alone and broke, Paige Stewart can’t believe her good luck. Who hires a virtual stranger out of a New York City coffee shop to care for their adorable grandson? Apparently Claudia Renaldi does.
Widower Matteo Renaldi isn’t pleased that his mother found a replacement nanny so soon after he fired the last one. Yet little Matty takes to Paige like no other nanny before. And Matteo can’t deny he’s quite taken with her as well. She’s beautiful. Sweet. And far, far too young for him.
There’s something about the gorgeously sexy Matteo that fills Paige with longing to break through his wall of formality and touch his softer side. But no one knows better than she that crushing on her boss is one thing. Acting on those feelings is forbidden. Foolish.
Inevitable…
Warning: Sexy, grumpy Italian hero who is determined to keep his walls up. No matter how much his son s sweetly beautiful nanny drives him to distraction

And now about its sequel, the 1st book in Karen’s brand new The Renaldis series:
TEMPTED BY HER BOSS by Karen Erickson
Business? Meet pleasure…
Book #1 in The Renaldis series
Paige Stewart has committed the ultimate nanny sin—she’s fallen in love with her boss. She adores Matteo Renaldi’s sweet, precocious son. Who wouldn’t? But it’s torture going about her day-to-day tasks, catching fleeting glimpses of the boy’s enigmatic father. Chastising herself for fantasizing she’s in the Renaldi master bed…
It’s ridiculous, pointless. After all, soon little Matty won’t need her anymore and she’ll move on.
Matteo has no interest in dating. He’s consumed by work, his son…and his son’s nanny. She’s everything he’s not: young, carefree, trusting, maybe a little naïve. She deserves better than an embittered widower. Yet when she accidentally falls into his arms, he can’t resist drawing her in for a kiss that quickly spirals out of control.
As they travel to his family’s home in Italy and slowly fall in love, the whispers start. And when one particularly ugly story blows up in their faces, their reputations might escape unscathed, but their hearts may not…
Product Warnings: The sexy, grumpy Italian hero is finally won over by his son’s sweetly beautiful nanny—though it was quite the challenge for her to catch him. Watch for lots of high drama, passionate love and malicious rumors before these two can find their HEA.

for me it depends. it has to be well a written story first

I don’t mind at all. Maybe I am biased… I met my husband of 15 years at work, he was my manager. So it happens and sometimes it is a happy ending.
Sure, I like a little bit of everything as long as they are done right and aren’t predictable.
I do enjoy them since they seem realistic to me.
I love all types …
I like all the stolen moments at work they sneak together.

I don’t mind them at all, sometimes it can be really sweet because they’re always in such close proximity together and can’t avoid each other.
I like them. The tension it brings always makes for a good story especially if one of them is trying to ignore their attraction.
I like office romances. because heck in real life your work is where you meet people after a certain age.
