Falling For My Boss Books in Order

The Falling For My Boss books are light workplace romantic comedies built around an awkward truth, sometimes the last person you want to see again is the person signing your paycheck.

In The Not-A-Date, a woman who has just lost her job has no patience for a confident man who seems to be hitting on her. Then he offers her the job she really wants. Rob may be sure of himself, but she has sworn off men for the time being, especially a new boss who might think employment is a route into her good books.

That is not a great start.

Pushing All My Buttons takes a different route to the same kind of problem. After getting trapped in a lift with a man she dismisses as a jerk, a woman begins a new job and discovers that Lift Guy is her boss. Keeping her identity from him becomes a challenge in itself.

These are closed-door romances, with workplace proximity doing much of the work. The central characters are trying to protect their jobs, their independence, and their pride, even as attraction makes every meeting more complicated. The comedy comes from bad timing, crossed wires, and the difficulty of maintaining a cool professional front after a memorable first encounter.

The books are short, breezy reads with separate romantic setups. They are a good change of pace for readers who enjoy Abbott's humorous dialogue but want romance rather than a paranormal mystery. Expect a dislike-to-attraction spark, a heroine who does not want to be pushed around, and a hero who has to prove he is more than an annoying first impression.

Start with The Not-A-Date for a job-offer setup, then read Pushing All My Buttons for its lift encounter and new-boss complication. Both work as accessible introductions to Abbott's contemporary romantic-comedy side.
