Review Card & Book Review – How To Survive Your Boss By Leslie North

Months ago, I had a scorching one-night stand with Harrison Ashford. CEO. Sin in a suit. Human red flag. Also? The grumpiest man alive. Think smoldering glare, dripping sarcasm, and the emotional range of a brick wall. He ghosted me so hard I had to check for a pulse. Then we collide again in an airport lounge—just as he’s going viral for trash-talking Scarlett Rush, America’s sweetheart and the world’s most beloved pop star.

Now he’s public enemy number one, the fandom is out for revenge, and his private jet company is bleeding money.

And he wants to hire me to fix it.

I’m a crisis PR pro, not a billionaire wrangler. Babysitting a grumpy jet mogul with a god complex and a grudge against joy—who had me breaking all my rules, then vanished—is not in my five-year plan. Still, the money’s obscene. The jets are private. And the job? Temporary. I can keep it professional. I can ignore the tension in every private jet and late-night strategy session.

I will absolutely not fall for the man who ghosted me. …Right?

My Review

This is about second chances, unresolved chemistry, and being forced to face the one person you never truly got over. How to Survive Your Boss is a fun, fast-paced romance centred on Harrison and Gwen, whose past complicates their very professional present. Harrison is the powerful CEO of the Ashford Luxury Jet Empire, and when a PR disaster threatens his company, there’s only one person capable of fixing it—Gwen, the woman he once ghosted after a magical week in Aspen.

Working together again is anything but easy. Old hurt lingers, trust is fragile, and the attraction between them crackles from the moment they’re back in each other’s orbit. Leslie North does a great job leaning into their differences, creating witty, often laugh-out-loud interactions, while allowing Gwen to stand her ground against Harrison’s alpha tendencies.

This was a book I devoured in just two days. The chemistry is strong, the romance undeniably swoon-worthy, and the banter keeps the story light and engaging. While some moments are predictable and I would’ve liked a bit more detail about their initial meeting, the story is still thoroughly enjoyable. A solid start to a new series, with side characters that already have me eager for more.
