Product Information

edit 3: after further consideration, i took away a few zeroes from my rating, because i would like to say that the sexual teasing scenes weren’t absolutely horrendous. those sex scenes though omfg

he refuses to make a move on her because his dad was involved in some disgusting sexual harassment when he was part of the company.. dom doesn’t want to be his dad, so he battles his attraction with ally with his desire to not be his father's son. Even though he can’t have her, he makes sure no one else can 🤪🤪 This one was a form-hugging Valentino. I couldn’t wait to put it on. And I already knew that Dom couldn’t wait to take it off. as for Ally, i LOVE her. she didn't take any shit from Dominic and even called him out for playing games with her. We stared at each other while he shrugged out of his coat. He was dressed more casually than he had been in the office. Jeans and a well-fitting gray sweater that made his blue eyes look more silver. His sleeves were shoved up, revealing tattoos on both forearms. Yum. At some point, you have got to stop worrying so much about what everyone else needs and start thinking about what you need.”Dominic filthy rich with daddy issues who only dates 20 something women at the big age of forty five. By A Thread seriously made me breakout into a happy dance. I think I wore a permanent smile the entire time reading this book and the banter just made me giddy! I’ve never been around someone who always believed that things would work out. I hope I didn’t break that because your hopeful heart is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever known. So maybe her colorful, annoying, inexplicably alluring personality brightens up the magazine's offices that have felt like a prison for the past year. Maybe I like that she argues with me in front of the editorial staff. And maybe my after-hours fantasies are haunted by those brown eyes and that sharp tongue.

i love this book. the banter, the workplace romance, the grumpy boss vibe, the slowburn + it’s hilarious? yes. There are some sadder moments - my Mum had Alzheimer's and reading the interactions between Ally and her Dad was very emotional and hit close to home but it was written so well and with sensitivity I thought. There are some brilliantly written laugh out loud scenes. I love this author's wit and she writes comedy incredibly well. Lucy Score flaunts her dirty birdy side in By a Thread , a grumpy/sunshine, enemies-to-lovers office rom com. It’s warm, funny, hotter than Hades, and I was glued to every entertaining moment.Dominic is a brooding, grumpy alpha with a heart of gold, and the more we learn about him and his upbringing, the more we fall in love with him. OCTOBER 2020 - Listened on Audible. Absolutely fantastic narration by Erin Mallon and Sebastian York. This reinforced that this is the best book I have read so far in 2020. I fell in love with Dominic and Ally all over again. Yesterday, I’d run into her in the stairwell. I’d asked her politely to get the hell out of my way. She’d offered—less politely—to help me down the stairs, head first." Minutes later—hey, we’re still figuring our way through post-baby sex, okay?—I rested my head on Dom’s stomach and stared up at the plaster ceiling. Our plaster ceiling. Maya babbled in her car seat next to our discarded pile of pants and shoes. This book is not at all what I expected, but Mr. Grumpy McGrump certainly lives up to its reputation. From this wordsmith’s books, I usually expect a light-hearted rom-com with a good hero and lively heroine, and this book is light years beyond that.

Dom played a riff and bumped shoulders with Reese when she answered it. I pressed my fingers to my lips. The teenage hormones were strong with this one. I remembered the angst and misery of fourteen and prayed to the goddesses of puberty that they would be kind to our girl. Abby’s relationship with her aging, ailing father is touching. I loved Abby’s best friend who happens to own a strip club. I think Faith could have a fun story of her own to tell. Not just because she looked a whole lot like me or that she had Dominic’s fierce frown. And also not just because I was filled with all of the motherly hormones that rendered me incapable of murdering my own child because she was only sleeping in what felt like fifteen-minute increments. So many questions,” my husband said, dropping a kiss to my forehead and repeating the gesture with our daughter’s wrinkled brow before taking the carrier from me. There’s a fine line between annoyance and ‘damn, I really want to get that naked,’” he pointed out.”Of course, this is a romance, a fantasy, a fiction. But I think the main characters and the story itself were designed to give an unexpected and beautiful sense of reality. In my opinion, this is one of Ms Score’s best efforts to date. While Maleficent and Charming’s banter was chef’s kiss, their behaviour didn’t exactly chime with their age.
