About this ebook

Sleeping with the enemy is never a good idea, especially when she’s your boss.

No one tells Shane Williams what to do. His world. His rules—which is why he ran away from home at eighteen to pursue his dream of making a name for himself outside of small-town Georgia. Ten years later, he is one of the hottest creative directors on the east coast and the majority shareholder in a digital media firm in Charlotte. Handing over the business portion of his company to his trusted friend and business partner and keeping his true identity as the founder a secret has its perks. But Shane is about to find out one of its flaws.

At the expense of her relationships, Rosemary Berkowitz has always done what it takes to succeed. Being a female leader in an all-boys tech field has made her tougher than nails. She may be a sweet country girl, but, underneath her innocent exterior, Rose is a boss with an iron fist. She never backs down from a challenge, and, when she wants something, she goes after it full force.

No matter how sexy his smile is, the attention of a tattooed bad boy is the last thing Rose wants. After a club outing with her best friend turns into a steamy night with a mysterious stranger, Rose wants nothing more than to move past her one-night stand—however amazing it was—and continue to mend her broken career. Little does Rose know that fate has other things in store.

Ratings and reviews

Amount of sex 4 / 5 How explicit 4 / 5 BDSM/Fetish 1 / 5 Romance 4.5 / 5 Overall: 4.5 / 5 (rounded to 5 / 5) Under Her Authority is L.T. Shade’s debut novel and a refreshing new take on an office romance. I began this story thinking it was going to be like many other office romances, but I was wrong! Rosemary (Rose) Berkowitz moved back home to begin working as a Marketing Director for a startup company in Charlotte, NC. Rose did not want to move back to North Carolina for many emotional reasons, but she did not have any other choice. The first night she goes out with her best friend Olive and meets Shane Williams in a very compromising position. Their chemistry is off the charts as they spend the evening playing pool and getting to know each other. Surprisingly, on the first day of her new job, Rose discovers that not only does Shane work at the same company, but SHE is his boss. I truly enjoyed this twist and especially loved the journey that Ms. Shade takes us. The story line is well paced, refreshing, and I enjoyed the unexpected emotional parts within the story. The characters are well developed and engaging and I was rooting for Rose and Shane. The sex scenes were hot and steamy and I had a difficult time putting my Kindle down! Under Her Authority is a wonderful book and I look forward to more of Ms. Shade’s work! *Voluntarily reviewed from an advanced copy*

Lady Fate What a great book for a debut novel and author! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story. A sexy playboy meets his match with a tough workaholic that can hold her own, even against him. However once they’re together everything and everyone disappears. Rose tries hard to stay away from Shane, but fate keeps pushing them together. They have their ups and downs throughout this steamy HEA love story, along with some major decisions to make. But I liked the complete package! Due to sexual situations and adult language this novel is recommended for readers 18 and older! I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of this book via Tasty Book Tours for an honest blog tour review.

At first I didn't think I was going to like Shane, but boy was I ever wrong. I just loved the way he was with Rose. She definitely deserves someone like him in her corner. My heart just goes out to Rose. She has somethings to work through. Rose needs someone who can ease her pain she has inside and Shane may just be what the doctor ordered. It has heart, but it brings the heat as well. I laughed and cried while reading this one. All the characters are great. I was sucked right into this book. Shane and Rose make this book and loved reading their journey.
