About MR. BIG
Once upon a time, I had everything: money, power, a multimillion-dollar company, a loving family. Well, at least I thought I had everything. Then my parents died, and I found out my whole life was based on a lie. That’s pretty much the moment when I went numb. Told the world to f*** off and went on a bender of epic proportion, just to see how far I could fall before I hit rock-bottom.
Now I’m back and all I want in this world is my morning—okay, afternoon—coffee. Then one of my employees has the nerve to call me out for cutting the line at the coffeehouse at the company I own. Sure, I’m a little scruffier than usual, but come on, bitching out the CEO? Not a smart career move. Just who does this smart-mouthed ball-buster think she is? And more important, what do I have to do to get her number?
Holland O’Dell may be uptight, but I wouldn’t mind taking her back to my place and ripping off that business-casual blouse/skirt combo and burying myself in her curves. She pushes my buttons, but at least I’m feeling something. And whatever it is, I won’t stop until I get more.

Review
This ended up being one of those books where the blurb of this book sounded promising and it started off strong. But then it started to drag. I was looking forward to a more aggressive alpha type of dude who gets hooked on a sassy smart mouth girl. I didn't get that. Oliver was a mess the entirety of the book, and it was really unattractive to be honest. There was no light to balance all the heavy that went on with him or Holland. Holland was likable at the beginning but her inability to make a plan and stick with it drove me bonkers.
There was a lot of talk about work that I really could care less about. I wanted more relationship talk. It seemed to be more of the focus than the relationship was.
I think overall the basis was good, I think the more heavy focus on the job and less on the characters was a buzz kill for me. However the author knows what she is talking about, she have very well developed characters and story line. I just don't think it was for me, or I wasn't in the right frame of mind to read this. Either way, form your own opinion. This story was told in alternating views.
