Too bad I haven’t started out on the best foot.

With him running the development of the new Vanderturn New Orleans Hotel and me doing the design, our work relationship is far too intimate for two people who absolutely despise one another.

REVIEW:
3.5 stars
***
This ended up being a pretty good book, although I felt it started off a little rough. The Billionaire Boss Next Door is the first book in a new billionaires series with a new group of friends (Move over Billionaire Bad Boys gang). This book is Greer and Trent's book. Greer lives in New Orleans and has a struggling interior design company. After a few bad years, her business is on the verge of bankruptcy and she is close to losing her home. Her last ditch effort to save her business is that she has been hired to decorate a new hotel in town. The only problem is that she got off on the wrong foot with her new boss, Trent, the hotel owner's son, before she even knew who he was. Now Greer and Trent hate each other. They are stuck dealing with each other, working very closely and living next door to each other. As they spend time together, though, they can see they have misjudged each other. Enemies turn to friends and then to lovers.
Since this book is a rom-com, humor is expected, however, much of the humor in the book is cheesy, corny, and trying too hard to be funny. But I got used to the slapstickness of it after awhile, and even if I didn't love that aspect, I tolerated it. The first half of the book was slow moving and took me a long time to get into. I wasn't sure how I felt about either Trent or Greer when they were so hateful towards each other. I didn't see why I should like them until they started liking each other and I could see the good in them. Once they got together, the book become much more enjoyable.
I like Trent for the most part. It took me quite a while to get to like Greer's character. She comes off as abrasive, grumpy, overly sarcastic, and rude, when I think she is supposed to be quirky, honest and funny. She is rude to everyone, including her best friend. I didn't like her for the first half of the book, but she does soften towards the middle of the book once she and Trent become a couple. I didn't really understand why they hated each other so much after they met. They exchanged a few words of prickly banter, but it was blown out of proportion into this huge reason to hate each other that I did not get. and it made the conflict kind of pointless.
Once Trent and Greer realize they like each other, I really enjoyed the book. I felt the love between the couple. Trent, especially, really adored Greer for her "quirky" personality. I was hoping there was not going to be more angst thrown in. But there is one last conflict, due to eavesdropping and a misunderstanding that leads to a plot device I am not a fan of. The ending also felt very rushed.
Still, this series will probably be pretty good. It may just take awhile to get used to after we've been used to the OG Billionaire Bad Boys gang. The new friend group from this series was interesting. I liked Emory and Quincey. Caplin/Cap is the new Thatch copycat character. Not as funny and cute as the original. He's very much a manwhore who can't remember his conquests names from day to day and probably has STDs. So I'm not terribly excited about his future book. But I am still looking forward to more from the series.
Overall, I did enjoy this book. If you start reading this book and you are unsure, hang in there and try to finish it because it gets better as you go along. The story was fun, entertaining and interesting. I enjoyed Trent and Greer's relationship development. I look forward to more from Max Monroe in the future!
