Review: Aggie the Horrible vs. Max the Pompous Ass by Lisa Wells

Synopsis

One’s playing a game. The other’s keeping score.

When wild-child Aggie Johansson shows up for an interview with the last person she’d ever want to work for, golden-boy entrepreneur Max Treadwell, she has one goal—to not be offered the position. While she hates to disappoint the two matchmaking grandmothers who’d pressed Max to hire her, she wants nothing to do with a pity job. Besides, the guy could easily win Mr. Pompous Ass of the year.

The last thing Max wants is to offer Aggie a job. The woman, a mixture of bizarre and annoying, has gone through at least a half-dozen employers this year already. He might’ve promised Grandmother he’d hire her, but if Aggie doesn’t take it because he’s more than a little un-charming, that won’t be his fault. After all, his company is on the brink of a major land acquisition, and the last thing he needs is a screw-up as a personal assistant.

With neither of them willing to disappoint their grandmothers, the interview becomes the stuff of legends, and somehow, before either can blink, they’re suddenly stuck working together.

Aggie’s determined the only way out is to be the worst assistant ever and get fired…

Max knows his grandmother would kill him if he fired Aggie, so he’ll just have to be so awful she quits…

But what happens next, no one could have seen coming.

Review

This is exactly my kind of story; fun characters who annoy each other, romance, tragic families, and a lot of drama. I loved it. It's a cute romcom and I think every fan of the genre would enjoy this book.

Aggie can't hold a job. Max is in need of an instant. Their grandmothers decide to intervene and now the two must work together for the time being. But can they tolerate each other long enough to be able to work? Things are definitely going to get interesting. They have completely different personalities and backgrounds. The only common thing is the attraction they feel for each other.

It's a well-written story that made me smile, laugh, cry, and sometimes feel embarrassed for the characters. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and would recommend it to my fellow reader. If you are someone who loves romance then this books is for you.

P.S. I received a complimentary copy of this book via NetGalley.
