I totally enjoyed reading 69 Million Things I Hate About You by Kira Archer, the first book in her Winning the Billionaire series. Personal assistant Kiersten Abbott wins sixty-nine million dollars in the lotto and realizes she has more than enough money to quit her highly demanding job. Instead she decides to stay on the job and exact a little revenge on her insufferable jerk of a boss. It doesn’t take billionaire Cole Harrington long to figure out that something’s wrong with his delightful assistant once he discovers the office pool on how long it will take for him to fire her. So he decides to spice things up and see how far he can push her until she quits. The game is on, with everyone waiting to see who will crack first. However the bet starts a new dynamic between them, and soon they realize they just might have crossed that fine line between hate and love. I really loved reading this book and had trouble putting this book down. Ms. Archer wove a wonderful story full of laughs, jokes, and love, drawing me in and not letting go until I read the last page. I highly recommend this book to other readers and can’t wait to read the next book in this series. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

Kiersten has been running Cole’s life for the last six months and she does it flawlessly. He needn’t even think what he requires and it’s provided. She is the perfect personal assistant. Until she isn’t. Kiersten wins the lottery and instead of immediately resigning from her torturous job, she decides to get a little revenge on her control freak boss. Cole was alerted to her plans when he learned about a betting pool regarding how long it would take him to fire her. He’s on to her. If he fires her she will receive a huge severance pay and that just won’t do. If she’s leaving, she’s going to have to quit. And so it begins. This crazy fun book had so many laugh out loud moments my cheeks started to hurt from smiling so much. I liked both Kiersten and Cole and the constant battle for winning the war. There isn’t any real drama or angst here except toward the end when they are confronted with a conflict. The steamy times don’t hit until around the 75% mark but I didn’t really miss it. Although I did feel that once they took that step they were just suddenly so syrupy sweet with each other and that was a little jarring. The secondary characters were hilarious! Brooks gave us some amazing one liners and oh my, I do hope we get a story about him! And Izzy and Cass, and Harrison and Christopher. Well, you understand. This is the perfect book to sit back and just relax. Lighthearted, flirty, fun and absolutely adorable. This is an honest review of an advanced copy provided by NetGalley and Entangled Publishing.

Started off interesting & funny but then it became repetitive with the
constant immature pranks. Then after the Piper file came across her desk I
knew what was going to happen. Very predictable. I can't say I'm not
disappointed with this book , I expected something different , something
more & it just wasn't there. (If you want to read a great office romance
book that's funny try reading "His Banana" by Penelope Bloom)
