Why am I passionate about this?

Hi! I’m M. Malone, a NYT, USA Today Bestseller, and RITA award winner. My ultimate goal in life is to make readers laugh in the most inappropriate places possible. When I moved away from home after college, it was difficult to make friends in a brand new city. Romantic comedies provided the joy I needed to go out into the real world and thrive. Now I get to make up stories that make other people laugh and in some cases pee their pants just a little (hey, I’m not judging).

The books I picked & why

Book cover of Naughty Boss

M. Malone Why did I love this book?

I have plenty of experience working in an office environment. From loud coworkers to stale coffee, it’s typically not the most exciting thing ever. Naughty Boss makes office culture steamy with this tale of the worst boss ever and the assistant who accidentally sends him an email detailing how much she hates him. A short steamy read, it’s perfect for your lunch break.

What is this book about?

He definitely wasn't supposed to get that email ...

Subject: My Boss.

Have I already told you that I hate my boss today?

Sexy as hell or not, this pompous, arrogant ASSHOLE asked me to pick up his dry cleaning the second I walked through the door. Then he told me that I needed to take his Jaguar to a car wash that was ten miles outside of the city, but only after I needed to stand in a never-ending line to buy some type of limited, hundred-dollar watch.

I honestly can't wait to see the look on his face…

Billionaire books are all the rage. Who doesn’t love a bit of fantasy, right?

Book cover of His Banana

If you’re looking twice at the title, I can assure you this story is just as bonkers as you might think.

Another billionaire romance but the side characters are so unique and quirky that it feels completely fresh and new. I’ll warn you now, this entire series is binge-worthy.

What is this book about?

My new boss likes rules, but there's one nobody dares to break... No touching his banana. Seriously. The guy is like a potassium addict. Of course, I touched it. If you want to get technical, I actually put it in my mouth. I chewed it up, too... I even swallowed. I know. Bad, bad, girl. Then I saw him, and believe it or not, choking on a guy's banana does not make the best first impression. I should backtrack a little here. Before I ever touched a billionaire’s banana, I got my first real assignment as a business reporter. This…

M. Malone Why did I love this book?

Our heroine, who somehow fell into being a pet psychic medium (don’t ask) has now been named caretaker to the richest Maltese in New York. She is trying to keep Smuckers in fancy dog biscuits while dealing with a very unhappy CEO who makes it his mission to discredit her and take back control of his mother’s estate from the dog.

What is my book about?

Beg Me is an inappropriate office romance about two marketing executives competing for the same bridal account. To impress the client they pretend to be engaged which wouldn’t be that big of a deal if they didn’t absolutely hate each other. Or if they could keep their hands, and lips, to themselves.
