BLURB:

One’s playing a game. The other’s keeping score.
When wild-child Aggie Corelissen shows up for an interview with the last person she’d ever want to work for, golden-boy entrepreneur Max Treadwell, she has one goal—to not be offered the position. While she hates to disappoint the two matchmaking grandmothers who’d pressed Max to hire her, she wants nothing to do with a pity job. Besides, the guy could easily win Mr. Pompous Ass of the year.
The last thing Max wants is to offer Aggie a job. The woman, a mixture of bizarre and annoying, has gone through at least a half-dozen employers this year already. He might’ve promised Grandmother he’d hire her, but if Aggie doesn’t take it because he’s more than a little un-charming, that won’t be his fault. After all, his company is on the brink of a major land acquisition, and the last thing he needs is a screw-up as a personal assistant.
With neither of them willing to disappoint their grandmothers, the interview becomes the stuff of legends, and somehow, before either can blink, they’re suddenly stuck working together.
Aggie’s determined the only way out is to be the worst assistant ever and get fired…
Max knows his grandmother would kill him if he fired Aggie, so he’ll just have to be so awful she quits…
But what happens next, no one could have seen coming.

REVIEW:

It's been a while since I read a fun upbeat romantic comedy and I especially love the troupe of office romance, enemies to lovers. This was a quick, hilarious over the top romance, fun side characters and is a perfect summer quick read.

Aggie the Horrible vs. Max the Pompous Ass follows Aggie, who has been set up by her grandmother and her grandmothers bestfriend to interview with her grandson Max. You see Aggie has had over a hundred plus jobs, obliviously exaggerated...right? And just cant seem to stay in one place. But the grandmothers also see the possibility that these two might just hit it off. Max is both shocked and attracted to the awkward woman whom he interviews, lets just say she doesn't hold back when she wants to say something. Together these two try to roll with working together all the while trying to figure out their place together while fixing their own personal lives in the process.

Max totally won me over, he (besides the awesome grandmother duo) was the star. A man who can just roll with the punches is a man I adore. He was not prepared for a woman like Aggie, she means well but boy this girl is a hot mess and then some. Their whole dynamic reminds me of the movie Two Week Notice, but Aggie only takes Sandra Bullocks characters quirkiness not professionalism. Max is a man who sees people for who they are and not their money, taking after his grandmother more than his parents, they push how important money is. He also has the patients of a god, I can't imagine having someone like Aggie working for me.

Aggie is a mess, I don't want to give much away but this poor girl, just was too much for me sometimes. Thank goodness for Max who helped equal out her mess ups. To me this book really emphasis her growth, to see that she wasn't seeing her potential and not seeing that her jumping from job to job was not a positive because she wanted to find that spark. She needed something to ground herself. I feel like some readers may have a love/hate relationship with Aggie but I feel we all have the one person in our life that even though they mess up a lot they mean well and are lovable all in their own.

Overall I enjoy the humor, the outlandish moments, the steamy instant connection between Max and Aggie, and the grandmothers who seriously rocked it as secondary characters.
