Smart, witty, charming, engaging and sassy. If you've
never heard of Susan Meier, HEAD OVER HEELS FOR THE BOSS
is sure to put her on your must-read list. I challenge
you to stop grinning from ear to ear as you become
absolutely smitten with the people of Harmony Hills.
Susan Meier has a lot of fun with small town living in
HEAD OVER HEELS FOR THE BOSS. On the one hand, community
spirit and friendships are close, practically like a big
extended family. But gossip mills can run rampant --
mostly spreading good news but at times driven by spite.
No one wants to be the target of nasty gossip and therein
lies the core problem in this crisp romantic comedy.
Isabelle Cooper and her parents loved, and prospered in,
Harmony Hills. Their business, Buds & Blossoms, was well known
and respected for amazing flowers for any occasion. Izzy
finds herself slightly adrift when her parents sell B&B to a local investor
so they could retire. As
part of the sale, Izzy was contractually obligated to work
for the new owner, Devon Donovan. She was well qualified
for more than running the floral shop. With an MBA under
her belt, she was more than ready to practice some of her
business skills. Although she would sorely miss the B&B,
she couldn't deny feeling lucky for the chance to spread
her wings.
The most immediate problem was working with and for Devon,
her teenage crush. But Izzy was good at hiding how her
youthful feelings had been hurt. She is now an adult. But
as time goes on it is Devon's obsession with rules that
complicates matters between them.
They are both mature adults who acknowledge the ever
present sparks. Izzy has dreamed of a relationship with
Devon, who works up a plan to sort of have his cake and
eat it. His great plan is a secret affair that would
remain apart from work -- no messing with employees rule,
therefore no sexual harassment worries -- secret from
town gossips thereby keeping Izzy's reputation intact. No
harm no foul. Yeah right!
Izzy and Devon find themselves actually enjoying this
secrecy game -- until it becomes much more than a game.
Izzy knows she wants more and hopes that time will be on
her side. But Devon can't get past his rules mentality.
He is driven not by his heart but by his head. No winners
in this game.
Susan Meier finds herself in good company for her
engaging dialogs. She reminds me of several of my
favorites like Christie Craig, Susan Mallery and Jill
Shalvis just to mention a few. Meier deepens the
intensity of the storyline much to the joy of the reader.
What starts out as a cute romantic comedy arrives at a
very satisfying conclusion.
A sweet category romance from Entangled's Bliss
imprint...
Fantasizing about the boss is one
thing. Falling in love with him is quite
another...
Isabelle Cooper's in big, big trouble.
Her flower shop? Well, it was just bought by the man she's
had a crush on forever. Her new boss, Devon Donovan, is a
tall glass of melt-in-your-mouth hotness. The problem? Devon
is definitely not interested in love. No ifs, ands, or buds
about it.
Devon knows Isabelle has been crushing on
him since college, but buying her business shouldn't be a
problem. Not only is she his employee, but as the eldest
Donovan brother, he's too busy protecting the family fortune
for romance. But tomboy "Izzy" is all grown up now. And he's
finding it impossible to resist her, no matter how hard he
tries...
