Head Over Heels for the Boss by Susan Meier is Book 3 of The Donovan Brothers Series. Although this book is part of a series it can be read as a standalone.

This was my first time reading this author’s work and I wasn’t disappointed. Ms. Meier has created a wonderful world that is filled with endearing characters that we just can’t help but love. This is Devon and Isabelle’s story. Original and sweet, this story will grip you from the get-go.

Oh those Donavan brothers... the last book in the series is Devon.I loved this book!!! Probably a good thing. This book is set after his mother inherits a fortune and Devon is handling the family business, the abusive father is long gone, but the scars he left behind on Devon remain and along with his brothers and Mom they meet once a week to run through business but since both Cade and Finn are married now and Mom is somewhat scarce at times, Devon's workaholic behavior works right into the story.
Isabelle has been running his parents flower shop for a few years now after getting her MBA and comes home to a surprise from her parents that they've sold the shop to the Donavan's so they can retire somewhere warm and play golf. They've made a clause in the contract that Izzy is to retained as an employee. Izzy, as she's been known since childhood and now kind of shrinks from the name, doesn't think she'll ever be seen as an adult is flipping her lid having had a crush on the elder Donavan since high school. In the same breath her parents tell her she's got a meeting with Devon at their home/office where he lives and works. So off she goes. She doesn't want this, but she understands her parents need to scale back. And she especially doesn't want to be around Devon.
Their first meeting goes a bit bumpy. Devon wants to train her to work with him, after reviewing her college transcripts and seeing her potential he wants to use her talents to help him with what he does, as well as the flower shop. She tells him she's got x number of weddings coming up, several funerals etc and she's the only designer. There are only 5,000 people in the town. So Izzy is back and forth between the flower shop and his office and her parents have flown the coop for Myrtle Beach.
Devon makes it clear that he doesn't do anything other than sex. He offers her an affair, but on his terms, his rules, his everything. She says no thanks. They have great chemistry. Devon's inner dialogue at times made me want to throat punch him.

Meanwhile there's a lot going on with this family, sister in law Ellie is pregnant and Finn's busy running the store with his wife. Then Mom announces that she's getting engaged. Devon is livid. The other two are happy including Izzy, who Luann the Mom has always made her part of the family.
Which also doesn't always make Devon happy. Damn Devon. Luann asks for Izzy's help with the wedding and of course she says yes. (Mindful she's now handling three jobs) and Devon finally wheedles his way into her pants. Everyone notices that Devon is a whole lot more likable too. They keep they're affair a secret. Izzy isn't happy being someone's secret but she and Devon really do get along well and have fun. Devon is starting to loosen up and they enjoy each other.

When her Mom calls about a shop for sale in Myrtle Beach and they might put in an offer and they want her to move down there. They have a couple months to think about it, but it just adds more pressure on Isabelle. Devon starts riding her about spending too much time at the shop and gives her a deadline to hire a manager and reliable help. Mind you, she was supposed to be running the shop, not working for Devon. He's a spoiled child.

With his Mothers wedding looming closer, Izzy is weighing her options. The wedding goes off wonderfully and it's a wonderful event .....for everyone except Izzy. One word wakes her up and she's gone. Really gone. Read the book to get all the little details and see what happens to Devon!

What a great story Susan wrote and not just this book, but the series. I'd recommend all three. I read them a couple years ago and they were great. They still are and not to be missed. These are real character stories and have great plots. Susan writes great characters. You can feel Devon radiating off the page. Which at times makes you want to slug him, but it's all in the book!

Great book Susan! Loved it.

I couldn’t finish this book as it wasn’t something I enjoyed and not at all what I was expecting when I start it.
