Off Limits: Her Handsome Boss
Jessica Bradford may prefer vintage Ts to the latest fashion, and has issues with her self-confidence, but Miles Montgomery sees her as competent and smart. He’s always taken her seriously and it’s only made her crush on him explode.
Miles is not only her boss. . .but her brother’s best friend.
Miles has flown to Far North Queensland to help Jessica, who’s being chased by the media, after a faux pas with a rock musician. But in the tropical warmth and after a few too many cocktails, they share a kiss…make that a few forbidden kisses.
Can they create their own “happily ever after” despite Miles being committed to the Bro Code, and Jessica unwilling to sabotage her career?

Jessica is prone to mishaps, including not recognising a famous singer while complimenting him on his song. One nasty Tweet and unflattering photo later, Jessica is hiding from a social media maelstrom in a North Queensland resort. Flying to her rescue, her boss and her brother's best friend, Miles. Jess has crushed on him since she was 10 but Miles has sworn the 'bro code' - plus he's her boss. So how to handle the sparks between them?
As they examine their lives under the glare of the spotlight, the hot house environment encourages their feelings to bloom like tropical flowers. This is a lovely, sweet romance from Joanne Dannon.

ONE MIXED UP FUN-FILLED WILD RIDE!!!
Tripping trixie!

The scenes are strikingly sharp with abundant details and descriptions, as to give you a full understanding and realism that flows smoothly. Amazing job Joanne, thanks for sharing this little guy with us.

I totally enjoyed Jessica and Miles’ sweet love story in the delightful Off Limits by Joanne Dannon. Jessica was a klutz with a capital K and had issues with her self-confidence but her brother’s best friend and her boss Miles doesn’t seem to mind. Miles sees her as being competent, intelligent and a hard worker. When Jessica finds herself chased by the media because she didn’t recognize a rock musician, whose music she enjoyed, Miles flies to her rescue at a resort in Far North Queensland; which just fans Jessica’s crush on him. Maybe it’s the tropical warmth, or the private beach, or a few too many cocktails, but their attraction to each other is spurred on with a few kisses. Despite Miles trying to adhere to the Bro Code and Jessica being his employee, these two need to concede to their attraction and chemistry and commit to their own happily ever after.
Ms. Dannon wrote a sweet story, filled with chemistry, amusing banter, and a crazy bridal party chasing Jessica through the resort that should definitely not be missed. I highly recommend Off Limits to other readers.

First, I want to thank Joanne Dannon for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.
Joanne Dannon is back with another sweet yet sexy read in Off Limits: Her Handsome Boss. This is a quick fast paced read that will make you smile ear to ear and give you all the good feelings.
The cover of the book is cute, simple and catches the eye of the reader. Yet, it is perfect for this book.
I think I can speak for many readers when I say this book’s storyline would be a dream come true for many of us. How many can say that our wildest dream crush became a reality?
Joanne did a great job with the progression with the characters in the book as we saw them evolve.
The setting of Joanne’s book was beautiful and picturesque. There were scenes which I wish I could have joined them.
My heart goes out to Joanne who lost her cousin Bec. This book is in loving memory of her. She filled this world with beaming smiles, laughter, kindness and love. Joanne will miss her.

This novella is a great read of a sister wanting more with his brother's best friend. Jessica Bradford is considered the odd duck in her family, but her co-workers see that she is really great at her job. A social media storm has left her fleeing to the beach to hide out. Miles Montgomery is tasked by her brother's best friend to protect her in hiding out at the beach resort. Unknown to both of them, the friends have had feelings for each other for years. They just couldn't admit it. Now that they are thrown together and have some craziness thrown in, and they begin to see other possibilities. I had lots of fun reading this book. Joanne Dannon continues as one of my very favorite authors for intriguing and fun romances with great editing. I suspect you will enjoy this read as well. I received a copy of Off Limits with the understanding that I would give my honest review

When a mean-spirited celebrity posts pictures of Jessica on social media, her life spirals out of control. Sent in to do damage control by her brother and Miles' best friend, Miles comes to her rescue, resulting in an even more disastrous situation. Being the family klutz puts Jessica in the position where they expect her to mess up. However, spending time with each other without family intervention solidifies their latent feelings for one another, that is until Jessica runs once again. Dealing with their complex feelings takes some wisdom and understanding, and a decision on Jessica's part to finally stand up for herself. This is a short novel and can be read in an evening. It is also well written and romantic, coming to a happy conclusion. I received a copy of this book as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.

"Off Limits: Her Handsome Boss" by Joanne Dannon
A cute clean contemporary romance and an easy read, too! I liked this story, but I didn't get attached to Jessica or to Miles. Maybe because it seemed like they spent more time talking to themselves than with each other. Or, maybe because I was tired and cranky when I read this story. I guess maybe we all tend to spend way too much time talking to ourselves, rather than those folks in our lives that mean so much to us.
note: I received an ARC of this story from the author.

Off Limits: Her Handsome Boss was a fun, cute, romantic story of two characters who had crushes on each other for years but never acted on it. I really enjoyed Jessica's smart, down to earth character, who was extremely klutzy and whose life was in complete turmoil.. It was fun to watch her boss, who was her brother's best friend and also her knight in shining armor step in to try to help her. You cannot help but smile when you read this book. Poor Jessica but thank goodness for Miles. I received an advance copy of this book and I willingly chose to write an honest review.

A wonderful romance as always penned by Joanne Dannon
How much did I adore this story? Freakin’ heaps and heaps. It was gorgeous and delightful and not only did I love the story for its fun-ness and awesomeness, but for the amazing romantic setting of Far North QLD.
Warmth and loveliness exudes from this tale.
My only tiny criticism: Aussies don’t say flip flops we call them thongs. It just sounds strange when using an American word for a book that is set in Australia featuring Aussie characters.

Charming novella.
I quite enjoyed this charming novella about two good people finally taking a chance.
Jessica is awkward and shy with some self esteem issues who had crushed on Miles for fifteen years.
After a social media debacle, she ends up drowning her sorrows and kissing Miles, her boss and brother’s best friend.
Both Miles and Jessica are sweet and you want them to end up together.
Recommend.

Need a holiday? Just read this!! Such a wonderful story of Jessica and Miles, set in a beautiful location that made me feel like I took a holiday too! I couldn't put the book down! I loved how Jessica and her brother's Best friend (her Boss) had secretly had feelings for each other for years. It was very exciting to see them finally come together!

A sweet short story with a lot of punch. It involves two friends secretly in love with each other but due to her brother, they never admit it. It was great and sometimes funny how they finally break the rules and give in to their feelings. I received a complimentary copy and I am voluntarily reviewing.

Jessica's boss, Miles was her brother's best friend thus making their love off-limits according to the bro code. A touching romance between two people that weren't supposed to be together - ever - yet they were in love. My rating five stars. Off Limits: Her Handsome Boss by Joanne Dannon is a must read.
June 25, 2020
I loved this book so much. Loved all the descriptions of what they did at the resort. Makes me want to visit. I just hope if what happen to Jessica, wouldn’t happen in real life. I hope people are nicer. Miles is an awesome character, I love how much he does for Jessica. I could have read so much more about them.

This is a short, delightful friends to lovers romance. Both Jessica and Miles have loved each other for years, though neither have admitted it or acted upon on it. He sees her as a competent, hard-working, beautiful woman, while her family has always treated her as a klutzy screwup. His friendship with her brother has been his reason not to pursue Jessica, not to mention that he is her boss. A viral video mishap has sent Jessica into hiding, and Miles has come to her rescue. Getting drunk to drown her humiliation, Jessica also finds the courage to finally kiss the man of her dreams. Neither can forget that kiss, but insecurities stop them from declaring their love. The resort they are staying allows them to spend some leisure time together, time that deepens their attraction and desire for each each other. Despite the roadblocks in their way (his being her boss, public scrutiny, and her brother), will they claim a happily ever after for themselves?

"Off Limits: Her Handsome Boss" by Joanne Dannon is a light, quick, classic romance of friends to lovers. Jessica (Jess) is hiding because of her photo going viral on social media. Miles, Jessica's brothers best friend, has known Jess since she was 10. They were friends, and now he is her boss. She is off limits because of the 'bro-code.' Jessica's brother asked Miles to go and check up on his younger sister. The two tried to stay away from each other, but mutual attraction seems to get in their way.

All the radios and internet websites gossip about Jessica's mistake, so she flies away to hide herself.
Her boss and also her brother best friend Miles goes fo looking out for her.
Sweet, lovely, realistic story.
You can feel the emotions and how big and bad is the power of internet, twitter and social media..what a strange world we are in!

While the premise of the story was OK, it was repetitively boring.
For such a short story, I lost count of the times its mentioned that Jessica is Miles' best friend's sister. The 'bro code' came up practically every page.
The fact that he's her boss seemed a pretty low concern for them despite the title.
