While most little girls grow up idolizing Ariel or Belle, I was banging a plastic gavel and pretending to be Judge Judy. I spent my summers divorcing Barbie and Ken and splitting their Dreamhouse assets. Now, my goal to become the very best acquisitions lawyer at the top firm in Chicago is within reach.
I’m one month into my big-girl job at Elwood Hoyt, venti Starbucks in hand, ready to take on the day. The sleek elevator doors are about to close…then he steps in after me. Hudson Rhodes—the one senior partner I was told to avoid at all costs—just so happens to be the heartless villain I’m assigned to work under.
Ever since he found out who I am—the Scarlett Elwood—we’ve been enemies, the sort who constantly bicker and bark, take jabs in the boardroom, and occasionally pop up shirtless in each other’s steamy dreams. Y’know, that kind. He has to know I could run to my dad at any time and demand his firing, but his confident smirk says he knows I’d never give him the satisfaction.
The elevator chimes as we reach our floor, and I feel his broad shoulders pull even with mine. Fury mixes with fear, hatred with lust. He turns to briefly hold my gaze before confidently stepping out in front. His message is clear:
If I want to reach my goal, I’m going to have to go through him first.

Review
4.5 stars!
Mr. Big Shot is a wonderfully crafted love story that combines some of my favorite tropes. Effortlessly blending a enemies-to-lovers, workplace, and forbidden romance, this book is entertaining from the first page to the last.
Scarlett is following in her family’s footsteps and starts a new job at her father’s law firm. However, she didn’t just get the job because of her relationship to one of the founding partners. She is smart and determined and earned her way in. She just wishes people would believe her.
Scarlett gets assigned to Hudson, the one guy her brother warned her about but she isn’t scared. She can handle anything if she wants to make it in this world and she will do anything to prove her worth. Hudson is a partner at the firm and is known for his hard core work ethic. He is hoping for a senior partner promotion so he won’t let anything get in his way, especially not Scarlett, the daughter of his boss.
Scarlett and Hudson are awesome together and I love the banter between them. From the start, Scarlett has trouble keeping her lips closed and she can’t stop from riling Hudson up with her quiet comments. I love that it doesn’t take long for Hudson to realize just how smart and hardworking Scarlett is without her having to prove herself even if it’s exactly what she is trying to do.
In the beginning, Scarlett is warned that Hudson is a hard partner to work for and Scarlett refuses to let anyone be the reason she fails. They start out sort of as enemies but soon realize that if they work together, everything goes smoother. The more time they spend together, the more enjoyment Hudson feels, something that he isn’t used to in the workplace. Then, when Scarlett confides in Hudson about something very personal, they grow even closer, and these two don’t know what hits them.
I’m her greatest ally and she’s my biggest weakness.
A workplace romance is forbidden though and they do everything to stay away from each other but sometimes priorities change and I absolutely love how Scarlett and Hudson’s love story turns out. It’s sweet, swoony, fun, and full of love. I adored both Scarlett and Hudson and loved when they finally realize what they both truly want!
