Book Review: His Human Assistant, by Michele Mills

I picked up a copy of Michele MillsHis Human Assistant as an Amazon freebie a while back.

I’m a corporate whistleblower running for my life, so I take the first job I can find off planet.

Now I’m a lowly assistant for some rich devil named Hannibal Hellstone? And when I say “devil,” I mean DEVIL. As in this guy’s skin is dark red, he has shiny black horns, sharp fangs, silver-tipped claws and a barbed tail. This Hyrrokin is scary AF and his eight-year-old son looks just like him. And, he has a sharp-toothed, three-headed, fire-breathing “dog” at his side.

*gulp*

I’m supposed to live with my new boss?

I don’t know anything about kids. And I don’t like pets. But, jeez, this guy is hawt. And his kid is sweet too. My heart cracks open for them—and their “dog.”

Hannibal starts throwing heated glances my way. But if this honorable soldier knew the real me, the girl with the checkered past, would he still want me? Oh well, it’s not like this is going to get serious—he’s told everyone he’s never, ever, going to marry anyone ever again.

This is good, right?

That’s what I want too…right?

my review

Honestly, I was just bored by this. I appreciated the plus-sized, smart, capable heroine who takes the lead in the end, but the writing is prosaic and repetitive. (And there are some strange word choices… *cough* teats?!). The plot is bland and uninteresting, and the romance is sub-par.

Mostly, however, the characters don’t get to know one another (or not in a manner that the reader feels). So, what he seems to fall in love with is her body and all the ways she can be of service to him (his business, his son, and his dog), which is just ick, in my opinion. I don’t even know what she is supposed to have fallen in love with.

I have too many other books to read to bother with the rest of this series (even though I think I own some).
