Too repetitive problems since book one against a background of something new that just gets focused during the first and last few chapters.

Lots of funny parts in this book. But it also had some very serious themes in it. This is my favourite in the series so far. The next book needs to be out NOW! I feel like I can relate to this story so much when it comes to Sophie's interests outside of her bedroom (hah). Maybe it is because she is around the same age as me.

I forgot how good this series was. Compared to other books in this genre this novel is a true gem. I know that erotica and romance can't always be super realistic but in the past I read too many novels that were quite over the top sometimes and they also resembled each other alot. Abigail Barnette's novels manage to blend realistic descriptions of everyday life with the swoon worthy stuff that is the lure of romance and erotica. I also love that this series shows an actual relationship with highs and lows and not just the same old they fall in love and the live happily ever after. Reading about couple fights and bumps along the way is actually more interesting than reading about perfect relationships. Of course there are also conflicts in every other romance novel but I find that it is too often a super big conflict after which there is no contact and the characters involved ask themselves what is going to happen but the reader nows exactly what is going to happen. But to see characters interact during and after a fights in a realistic way is no nice.
I highly enjoyed this novel.

Este é o quarto livro da série O Chefe. Nele iremos lidar com um novo drama na vida de Neil.
Ele será surpreendido com o lançamento de um livro que irá falar sobre uma ex relação amorosa abusiva.
Sophie e ele irão então ter que lidar com os problemas que esse livro irá trazer para as suas vidas, terão também que lidar com os vicios de Neil e com os ciumes de Valerie.
Isto tudo, enquanto tentam organizar o casamento deles, e tentam afastar todas as dúvidas que têm sobre se devem ou não arriscar um casamento.
Eu adoro imenso este casal, os dramas que os envolvem são sempre muito sérios, o que nos faz torcer cada vez mais pelo amor dos dois.
Como sempre, o que me custa imenso nesta leitura, é a relação aberta dos dois, pois a vida sexual deles já é tão ativa e intensa que, na minha opinião, acrescentar pessoas à atividade sexual deles não era necessário.

My favorite thing about this series is the complexity and depth of the characters. They're real, rounded out, flawed, interesting people. Especially in this book!

First of all I take back what I said about Emir's relationship in the review I wrote on the third book. I should have known better too, he was obviously not thrilled about his wife's vacation, only I thought he was simply missing her. That being said, Emir is still awesome and despite not being in the series that much, he's definitely one of my favourite characters.
Turning my attention to Sophie and Neil, I was a little anxious reading this book. The title made me wonder who the ex is, or better said which one of the exes. Like in The Bride where the bride was, well, all of the brides, here the ex was, well, all of the exes, only some of them more troublesome than the other.
At first, when I started reading the series, I saw Neil as a regular 45+ year old guy, nothing special about him, but after reading more than a half of the series he's much more attractive to me. Getting to know what he's been through and how he dealt with the issues in his life does something to me and I am even more proud of him than the last time. And what a weird thing, this shift on how I view Neil throughout the books.
I'm completely taken with this series, I am enjoying it so much.
Luckily for me the next title is not as anxiety inducing as the others or as it was before I read this one, so I am looking forward to whatever else happens in Sophie and Neil's lives. And, as usual, I'm keeping an eye open for Emir.

Well, there's the end to the best erotica series I've ever read. I just want to print a thousand copies and rain it down on everyone and yell, "THIS IS WHAT THE WORLD SHOULD BE READING, PEOPLE. THIS IS WHAT FIFTY SHADES SHOULD LOOK LIKE!"
I loved this. It was awesome. As the 4th book in the series, it hit a point where the characters have matured and the relationship between Sophie and Neil sort of lacked the same drama as before because they have learned from their past mistakes and had a loving, honest and open relationship #relationshipgoals #amirite?!
So hurrah to Abigail Barnette/Jenny Trout. Seriously, go read her blog about Fifty Shades. That shit it fantastic.

I always love reading about Sophie and Neil. One of my favorite couples in this genre. I can't wait for the next one.
