Wes Bay is the boss who isn’t just a distraction, he’s her perfect distraction…

I didn’t mean to trick my little sister’s best friend into working for me. Okay, I totally did, but I need Emily. She’s the only person that can make my new restaurant business a success. Calling me boss and being in close proximity to me is purely a coincidental bonus. After all, there has been a time or two where our chemistry nearly combusted.

There is just one obstacle to my grand plan.

Emily has a firm career plan, and they don’t involve any entanglements with me. Nope. The last thing she thinks she needs is to add sleeping with her boss to the equation.

I, on the other hand, am betting on the fact that she could probably use a distraction—in the shape of me. Surely, all I need to do is throw in a little persuasion to ensure she doesn’t get away a third time…

This is the third standalone novel from the Mr. Boss series where you can revisit your favorite characters throughout. This feel-good story is filled with banter, a swoony boss, steamy times, and surprises along the way.

Evey writes heartwarming romances with steamy moments, often in small-town settings with an element of sports. An American from the Midwest, she now lives in a tiny country in Europe where it rains a lot. That is probably why she occupies her days typing away on her laptop with music on repeat and slow-roast coffee nearby.

Great Story!

Great Story!
This was the perfect feel good story!!!This book is number three in the Mr. Boss series by E.H. Lyon and I love how she can create these characters with the perfect environment and chemistry you can help but fall in love with.This friends to lovers / boss-employee romance was just amazing and super entertaining. The banter between Wes and Emily was just hilarious but full of steam. Their chemistry was perfect and Wes totally stoled the show. He was just the perfect man trying to catch his perfect woman and I just loved his determination.I love how we were able to catch up with the couples from the previous books in this series and I can't wait for the next book.

Wes and Emily are serving up a generous helping of romance in this heartwarming story. Wes needs Emily to make his business a success and he also is drawn to her on a romantic level. Emily is all about her career and doesn't want a romantic entanglement with the boss to complicate things. Will Wes change her mind, and will it lead them to a happily ever after? I was cheering for them all the way through this story! I am volunteering to leave a review for an ARC of this book.

Wes and Emily have danced around each other for some time. They are kind of enemies as well. She is his little sister's best friend. She's back home in Chicago and in need of a job. She ends up working for Wes at his new restaurant. Emily wants strictly professional, and Wes wants strictly personal. Will they become more or end up apart? Lots of laughs, and more. A good read to find out how they end up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Second Chance

Wes and Emily were entirely opposite, and opposites attract.
Emily has everything sorted in nice little boxes, things she wants to achieve and how, until it changed. At home interviewing she didn’t realise that the restaurant is owned by her best friend’s brother, who although the chemistry was there it never worked for them. With Wes’s determination she can’t see how this time can be any different.
Wes is busy trying to open the restaurant and seems that Emily is going to be his events planner.
The timing has never been right for them, so they agree to remain professional.
Wes can’t help how he feels, and he only has to convince Emily that they shouldn’t put it all behind them and they deserve a second chance.

This is a complete story with no loose ends. NOT a cliffhanger. Action/adventure? None. Romance? Yes. Sex? Yep.

Evey Lyon penned the perfect tale of two neighbors finally acting on their far too long attraction. Wes and Emily's interactions with each other, have always been teasingly hot. A few years later, when they are working together, the attraction is still scorching, but is this the right time to let it consume their lives? Their banter and "wishful thinking of what could be" pulled me in and kept me rooting for their happily ever after.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun, Witty, Falling in love with your boss
Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2021
I am so glad that I continued reading this series! This is book 3 and another fantastic witty read. I truly enjoyed Wes, he was just as determined to make his restaurant a success as he was to romance Emily. Wes is a true romantic at heart and he pulls out all the stops to win Emily over finally. Emily is coming home to start event planning and start her life over and after 2 failed attempts to start something with Wes she is wary of being involved with him, oh and he is now her boss too. If you enjoy witty banter, steamy scenes with the boss, and a true romantic happily ever after story then this book is for you! I highly recommend this book, I couldn't put it down.

Another sweet boss story. I love the tie in with the other series, a quick mention of matchbox and an adorable tie in with Olive Owl. This series is a quick and easy read with sweet characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sexy and swoony summer read
Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2021
THE PERFECT DISTRACTION is the third book in the Boss Series, by E.H. LYON.
This story is easy to read, it pulls you in and keeps you entertained till the very last word.
It's written in dual pov, which I enjoyed. I loved to read both main characters' thoughts—especially Wes's because he knows what he wanted and was so determined to get it.
Especially Emily's character grew a lot throughout the story, which was wonderful to read.

This couple fit together, where Emily was tight up, Wes was loose, and they knew exactly what the other needed. I love that in a relationship. They don't need words or questions, they are just entirely on the same wavelength.
There is so much sexual tension between Wes and Emily. Every time they are around one another, their pull to each other, their want, lust for the other was palpable. The sex scène are descriptive and sexy. Both Emily and Wes have a bit of a dirty mouth in the bedroom.

I loved the appearance of the couples from the other books. It made me so happy to see them doing well.

The Big Distraction is a light-hearted workplace/ best friends brother romance that will make you emotional, laugh, and swoon. It's perfect for reading on a warm summer evening.

I received an ARC from the author and voluntarily leaving my honest review.
