First, Coffeezilla torpedoes my career as a barista.
Then he dangles my dream job like a carrot on a stick.
So what do I do? Make a deal with the devil.
I learned the hard way: trust no one.
That’s why I’m stuck serving lattes in the first place.
Then Trent Saunders, aka Satan, waltzes in.
Mr. Hot Shot is too busy barking into his phone to stop and read.
Is it my fault he missed the big DO NOT USE sign on the table?
OK, maybe I shouldn’t have laughed when he spilled coffee all over himself.
But he deserved it.
And for that the Table Tyrant got me fired!
At least I got the last word. Or so I thought…
Because it turns out, this gorgeous grump is the answer to my professional prayers.
He wants me to design high-end furniture for his grandmother.
A sweet old woman who mistakes me for his girlfriend.
And does this genius bosshole correct her?
No! He asks me to play along!
Which means I’m stuck fake dating a man I loathe.
What’s even more annoying? He might not be a total villain.
He’s actually kind of sweet. Sometimes.
But I’m not about to fall for his whole “good guy’ routine.
I mean, what kind of a woman would I be if I fell for a bosshole?
Designed for Disaster is a laugh-out-loud billionaire bosshole rom-com brimming with enemies-to-lovers tension, fake dating antics, and grumpy-sunshine vibes. With sizzling chemistry, sharp banter, and plenty of heart, this story is as addictive as your favorite latte—steamy, bold, and impossible to put down!

📚📚This story turned out to be a lot more “heartwarming” than I expected, especially after the beginning set-up! Their first encounter is anything but friendly or romantic LOL! I don’t know if I’d refer to their first encounter as a meet-cute because it was anything but “cute” but it did have me thinking, “well done Leslie North. Nice imagination!” It set me up to know that I was in for a highly entertaining story, with substance of course. I had learned already learned from the previous 2 books how much impact Leslie wrote into her stories, so I didn’t expect it to just be a “comedy”, but I was taken by surprise at the level of depth and emotion I felt throughout the story. I can’t really tell you why or pin-point the plot-points that caused this because, spoilers, but also because it was an overall feeling. Like the story was wrapped in a huge hug full of heart and hope. *shakes head* This is one you’ll have to read to get all the nuances I’m referring to, and it will be worth it!
😞😔NOTE: I am never going to be a “fan” of the usage of miscommunication as a plot device for conflict between adults. Yes, miscommunications happen all the time between adults, but when your characters have too many of those miscommunications in the short amount of time the story usually takes place and you want me, the reader, to believe the MCs will be riding off into the sunset despite all that “badly behaving adult shenanigans”, we have ourselves a situation. Feel me? This story walked a fine line with this and I can’t say I liked it too much. *shrug*

Sebastian Grove and Chole Ryan were a blast to listen to. They really brought the enemies out, but when Trent & Natasha started to fall for one another they brought the sweet and swoony too. I absolutely loved the was Sebastian said Natasha with that New York accent. Chloe as Natasha and her fierce, take no crap attitude was perfection.
And we can't forget Nana Dee because, let's be honest, she's the real star of the show. Her and her lost boys all got their HEA's and it made my heart so incredibly happy that she was around to see them all succeed and find love.
My favorite of the series!

The lost boys are back this is Trent's story. Trent meets Natalie at the barista she works at and they have an altercation which leads her into losing her job. I'm really enjoying these stories. Love the family grandma everyone loves. I really like how these arrogant boys who think everyone should fear them but they each have met women who don't take it. The bantering between characters are entertaining. Love how these guys are there for each other when needed. I find it entertaining and never want it to end and look forward to the next one.
Great

The narrators Chloe Ryan and Sebastian Grove did a great job telling this story. They held my attention and kept me entertained through the entire book. I felt like I really knew the characters from how they told this story.
Natasha works as a barista at a coffee shop when Coffeezilla blows through and gets her fired. Her side job is creating and building furniture so when someone emails her about doing some work she jumps at the chance since she lost her other job. Well surprise surprise coffeezilla is there to offer her a dream job. Does she make a deal with the devil? It's better then working 3 jobs. Oh boy let the fun bantering beginning!!!
Trent is CEO of Saunders Furniture. He is a grump on the outside but he does have a big heart when it comes to his Nana D. His life hasn't been easy. He has a lot of family trauma and because of that it will make one part of this book frustrating. I was disappointed in how he reacted and everyone around him new the truth but him and that was just frustrating and a little unbelievable to me but don't let that both you because what comes after is worth it all.
I loved getting to know these characters and this series. I had so many laugh out moments, blushing moments, I was swooning and I was left with a beautiful ending. I would highly recommend this book and this series!
LOVED this series!!!

Yet, as fate would have it, this "gorgeous grump" turns out to be the answer to Natasha’s professional prayers. Trent needs a high-end furniture designer for his grandmother, and despite their rocky start, Natasha is the perfect fit. The plot truly thickens when Trent’s sweet, albeit mistaken, grandmother assumes Natasha is his girlfriend, leading to a fake dating scenario that’s both exasperating and undeniably charming.
The story moves at a brisk pace, blending the fake relationship trope with genuine emotional family drama and business challenges. It’s particularly enjoyable to see Trent shed his "villain" facade and reveal a surprisingly sweet, caring side, especially through his interactions with characters from previous books in the series. This allows Natasha—and the reader—to see beyond his initial gruff exterior.
Watching Trent confront his past demons, make crucial decisions, and ultimately embrace true love makes for a truly engaging read. Chloe Ryan and Sebastian Grove’s narration brings Natasha and Trent's personalities to life, making their bickering and eventual connection even more compelling. If you enjoy a quick, funny romance with a strong fake-relationship plot and a dose of emotional growth, Design for Disaster is definitely worth picking up.
