A Deal With The Devil: A Grumpy Boss Romance Kindle Edition
An Amazon Top 25 Bestseller!
He might not be the devil, but working under him for six weeks is my idea of hell.
Hayes Flynn is an arrogant jerk known best for his scotch habit and the way he spreads his British “charm” all over Hollywood, never with the same woman twice.
He’s the last person I want to work for, except he has a face I can’t look away from, and the longer we’re together, the harder he is to hate. Because under that smug exterior is a heart he doesn’t want to show—one that was badly broken a decade earlier.
A part of me wants to fix it for him before I leave…but can I do it without breaking my own in the process?

About the author
Elizabeth O'Roark has a bunch of degrees she does not use and gave up working as a medical writer to craft grumpy, alpha heroes and the flawed women who love them. When not writing, she likes to spend time with her three kids, who are now teenagers and wish she'd find a different way to spend time. She can be found on Facebook feverishly debating whether or not "Die Hard" is a Christmas movie and telling people to read "The Hating Game", which she did not write but wishes she had.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2021This was slow burn goodness, with a focus on the emotional connection and plenty of sexual tension. I loved the light, easy banter and the opposites attract vibe, though this new-to-me author does an excellent job of showing the parallels between these two seemingly different people. Our broken, playboy of a hero is selfish and uncaring on the surface, but once you dig a little deeper he is a total sweetheart. I LOVED him once this got going - which I definitely wouldn't have predicted at the start. One of the strongest elements of the book is the single perspective, which drove me crazy at times, but was necessary for the subtle moments to make an impact. As our upbeat and kind heroine gets to know the hero better, the tiny revelations build until he becomes a completely different man in her eyes. This had me hooked the whole way through - I loved it!
The story follows Tali, a woman who has always assumed the role of caretaker. After getting out of a 10-year relationship, Tali is struggling a little bit. She has taken on the financial burden of her family and isn't sure where her own career is going - let alone her love life. So when a friend offers her a very lucrative, temporary assistant position, Tali doesn't hesitate to say yes. She'll be working for a moody plastic surgeon who spends his nights drinking and having one night stands, but the money will make a huge difference in her life. The only problem? Once Tali gets to know Hayes better, she realizes that he's just a brokenhearted man who is afraid to trust again... not all that different than herself. As the two get closer, their jagged pieces are either going to be the thing that brings them together or tears them apart.
Let's start with a few safety details, because that's why I was initially hesitant to read this - yes, Tali's job entails kicking Hayes' one night stands out of his house. He sleeps with several women after she starts working for him (very early on), though he's being more self-destructive than usual in an effort to get her to quit. Since that all happened at the start of the book, before an emotional connection develops, it was easy to move on from - and was not an issue later on. Once these two develop a friendship (with a side of flirtation), the story really kicks into high gear. I loved their connection and the focus on more than just sex, which made this otherwise light and sexy read feel richer and deeper. And once they cross the line? It was steamy and intimate, with so many great quiet moments. I wouldn't have complained about a little more time with them together, but the pacing in this is great. There was never a dull moment, and it felt so very romantic by the end. I loved it the whole way through, and the story got better with every scene.

This was such a great story. There was so much banter and *the wanting* was so major. I had so much fun reading this and watching this relationship blossom.
Both main characters have complicated familial lives, and a heart broken past. You watch their journey of learning to trust again with someone worthy of that trust.
The MMC was a broody, grumbly, bossh*le with no problem getting laid. The FMC was a spicy, quick witted, and silver tongued little fire cracker. Together, the tension absolutely flourished.
Something unique I loved about this story was that that FMC was an author, and she was working on a young adult fantasy novel.
Through out the story she discusses the book and the journey of the characters she writes. It was all basically a self-crafted version of what was going on in her own life.
I really loved the story she was writing. I actually want to read the story she was writing.
Very good book, on the shorter side with a lovely serving of spice. Excellent read if you’re into grump x sunshine, broody bossh*les, and sharp witted banter.
Happy Reading Friends xx
- Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2024This book got me out of a reading slump - reading through it in less than 2 days. It is laugh-out-loud funny and the banter is amazing. Ilook forward to reading the next one in the series.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2023New to me author, I mostly enjoyed the book. Very well written, pretty nice slow burn (my favorite type of story), and interesting characters. I liked the build up and relationship of the main characters, but didn’t necessarily like them much. The very flawed hero was pretty disgusting in the beginning. Learning his story didn’t fix that for me, especially when he says (**slight spoiler **) he thinks he fell in love the first time he saw her, before her employment with him. A bit unbelievable for me, but Romantic Fiction here. The female lead was a bit clueless about herself until the end. Kind of wished we would see her grow in understanding herself a little earlier than abruptly at the end. It would have made her a much more relatable heroine. Sometimes the only person keeping you down is yourself isn’t what I read fiction for.
I’m not planning to read the next one, since Drew seems cringy clueless, but I liked this book enough to look at the third in the series.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2024I haven’t enjoyed a book this much in a while. The banter between Tali and Hays was so funny. Perfect book to read when you need something to get you back on track.

MINI REVIEW
A Deal With The Devil had me entertained from the start. While Hayes' first impressions were lacking, I absolutely adored Tia and her sarcasm from the start. They definitely don't get off on the right foot, but there is so much more to both of them the meets the eye. And as the story unfolded I enjoyed watching their relationship slow burn into more. There's humor, steam, and even emotion. I read this in one sitting, I didn't want to put it down. So if this sounds like your jam, I highly recommend! And I'm diving right in to the next one now! My first from this author and I look forward to many more!
- Quite a dull lovestoryReviewed in the Netherlands on September 19, 2024
2.0 out of 5 stars Quite a dull, predictable lovestory
To start on a positive note, it reads quite smooth in the beginning.
However, it pretty quick feels like it’s going around in circles. She is filling in way too much of his thoughts without even fact checking with him. Her personality was just very frustrating for me. For my personal taste a little slow on the spice as well. It was like 75% before there was some interesting action. The scenes were written nicely though. In the end is was a slow story, which seems a good type of story to read before going to sleep 😊

I. Loved. This.
Slow burn single perspective but with a wonderful plot, fully fleshed out characters, a perfect pace. Excellent - really really excellent. I couldn’t put it down and devoured it today.
Can’t wait to explore this author more.
