About this ebook

Cole Tate is the boss who isn’t used to faking it, and he’s not about to start even if it's supposed to be a marriage of convenience.

It was never on my radar to have a woman living in my house, especially not one who shares my last name. But I’ve been eyeing a corporate takeover for the last year and Ruby, the new Mrs.Cole Tate, just happens to be from the same friend circle and is the daughter of the current company owner. She also holds the key to the extra board votes I need to win.

The spitfire beauty just needs to be married to make it happen. It’s in a ridiculous clause.

Luckily for me, Ruby has her own reasons for ensuring I succeed. So, we struck a deal and found ourselves as husband and wife. It’s a win-win and oh so easy…

Except living together is a constant game of taunting the other—clothing optional. Then there is the fact that we are quite good at faking our attraction in public. Soon our long talks don’t feel like pretend anymore. Not to mention, we decide to add benefits to the equation. And yep, we are excellent at those benefits too. Suddenly, what should have been an easy and temporary deal begins to look a little too real…

The Real Deal is the fourth and final standalone story in the interconnected  Bossy Hearts series. For lovers of fake relationship romance that will make you laugh, swoon, and grab a fan. A multi-millionaire finding the best wedding ring possible? Check.

The Real Deal is the fourth and final book in the Mr.Boss series by E.H.Lyon. It's a marriage of convenience/friends to lovers/age gap story written in first person and dual pov. The Real Deal is my favorite book from the series, and Cole and Ruby are my favorite couple. Cole and Ruby aren't looking for love, they don't even see it coming, but they just fit together on all levels. Cole is a crazy hot businessman with a protective side. Ruby is a strong and bold woman. They both are a little extra and love to go against the rules. This couple also fits perfectly inside the bedroom, which results in some scorching sex scenes. These scenes are well built and descriptive, just the way we like them. I love E.H. Lyon's writing style, it is fun, lighthearted, and makes me laugh and feel good. She always helps me escape the real world, which is one of the reasons why I read. Every time, she creates a realistic world and fills it with characters I can relate to. Like her other stories, The Real Deal is a real-life story with complete characters who experience real-life problems and emotions. As a reader, I felt these emotions and empathize with the situations the characters are in. The Real Deal is a must-read, feel-good story filled with humor, steam, emotion, banter, swoon, and lots of surprises.

I would give this book 10 stars if I could!! ❤️🔥 The entire “Mr Boss” series has been absolutely amazing. I have loved and enjoyed every character and every couple that was brought together in this series. This book was such a wonderful wrap up to the series with what is now one of my favorite couples: Cole and Ruby. Experiencing this couple falling in love was more beautiful than I know how to describe. Cole and Ruby have known each other for years and more recently have been part of the same group of friends. Neither of them is really relationship material, for their respective reasons, so they enjoy the single game and a flirtation between the two of them. When Ruby wants access to her trust fund and discovers she needs to get married to access it, she comes up with a deal that will benefit Cole as well. Cole is looking to purchase her dad’s company but the odds are working against him. Marrying Ruby would guarantee that purchase. So they agree to a fake marriage with rules as part of their deal. They alter the deal to include “benefits” because time spent together makes it impossible to ignore their chemistry. Their deal slowly becomes “the real deal”. Will either of them want to part ways as agreed? What happens to the deal when feelings change? You have to read this book!! Actually you HAVE to read this series! Each couple has been a joy to experience. Cole and Ruby were especially fun to read. This couple can have so much fun together and find such peace in each other’s company. Them falling in love along the way was so beautiful to read! I can’t recommend it enough! I received an advance copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review.

The final book in the Mr Boss Series and it’s time to meet Ruby and Cole. The Real Deal is exactly what the title says because this romance is about friends striking a deal to get something for each of them, Cole needs her vote and she needs to be married to get her trust fund so a marriage of convenience seems the perfect option. When Cole and Ruby strike a deal they never thought feelings would come not play but whilst playing the happily married couple they both realise his is what they really want but who will be the one t be honest and confess their feelings. This is the perfect ending to the Mr Boss Series and truthfully I was sad to see this series end but rest assured I will be reading everyone of these books again because each couple holds a special place in my heart. If you love alpha hero’s and sassy heroines with lots of passion and witty banter please make sure you one click this must read book and series.
