Damage Control

by Ree L. Diehl

Curvy Isabella DeLorean knows what it’s like to be the butt of jokes but she has brains, talent, beauty, an irrepressible sense of humor, and a plus-size body that matches her big heart. Tough as steel and built for comfort, this DeLorean would love nothing more than to take her new boss for a ride.

Nicholas Wentworth III is CEO of the Wentworth’s department store chain. His newest sales clerk is so popular with customers, Bella wins Employee of the Month and all the perks that come with it—a sizeable bonus, a premium parking space, and dinner with CEO. Bella’s hot Italian-American blood thinks that a boss with benefits might just be what she needs. She’s already dealing with vicious coworkers, a shady manager, and office gossip. Accepting the award from Nick puts an even bigger target on her back. Someone’s aware of their mutual attraction. Someone who’ll stop at nothing to keep her and Nick apart. With Bella’s life in peril, can Nick find her stalker before it’s too late?

Damage Control is Ree L. Diehl’s first novella, her first BBW, and first romantic mystery. Written as subtle romantic comedy with elements of BDSM and consensual power exchange. Written for Age 18+.

About the author

Ree L. Diehl was born on a misty morning in the mind of a multi-genre author who wanted to pen erotica but put her own stamp on it. The result was the Unbillable Hours Series, serving up erotica with a dash of romantic comedy. The She-Wolf on the Twentieth Floor is the first in a series of standalone erotic stories where the best things happen off the clock.

Isabella gets a new job as a sales clerk at Wentworth's department store. She gets more than she bargains for with a super hot CEO boss Nicholas and some mean and catty coworkers. This novella checks all the boxes for me with plenty of sizzling hot sex, strong writing, surprise twists, and engaging characters.

Damage Control by Ree L. Diehl is an awesome novella. This is a standalone novella that mixes BBW, suspense and romance into this wonderful story. This book had me laughing, crying, angry, etc. I had all the feels. This book has drama, heat, romance, billionaire, angst, harassment, bullying, body shaming. This book made me feel like this was my story and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time I was reading and I could not put the book down. This is a quick read but well worth it. The book is well written and has very likeable characters. I can't wait for the next by Ms. Diehl. I highly recommend this book.

Isabella DeLorean has just started a new job within a department store, a woman with curves working in a lingerie department. Snubbed by the slimmer ladies who work there, things only get worse however the handsome Mr Wentworth is there to help her, with everything . The chemistry between these two is off the charts. A highly enjoyable read, steamy sex a hot man and a curvaceous woman perfect, loved it.

This was a different kind of story than I’m used to, from this author.
It was a more ’light’ story.
It was a entertaining story.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book
