This one is pretty fast pace some steamy.
Olivia is temporarily Marcus PA since his brother who he works with has his PA. Right off the bad there is tension since Marcus is a jerk to Olivia because he has feelings for her but he can't mess with that since his father did that and cheated on their mother. So thats his reason for not going after her. And being a jerk. But few times he is a sweet guy then turns back to cold.
Olivia is tired of the hot/cold so she does something and is rejected. So shes glad that her original boss is back because she needs to mend her broken heart... until Marcus man's up.
No ow/om drama, no cheating, slight secondary character, sexy times, no virgins
Recommend-Yes

There’s nothing in the world like holding her soft, curvy body close and knowing she belongs to me.
As soon as I saw Ms. Ree was writing another boss/employee story, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. I love when she writes about an alpha jerk who pushes the h away then realizes his mistake. The chase and grovel is what I most look forward to and this author almost always gives me my fix. The h doesn't immediately give in and makes him work for it too, which is always a huge plus for me. No OM/OW drama, no mention of either past, no abuse, epilogues at 11 months and another 9 months.

I love a office romance that includes a sassy, confident heroine and an alpha over the top boss that is about to meet his match.
Olivia an executive assistant and is very good at her job until her boss's brother becomes her temporary boss and makes her life a living hell. He requires long hours, doesn't indulge in conversations with her and keeps her at a distance but wants her under his thumb. She has two more weeks and then he is finally out of her hair.
Marcus is one of the bosses in the family business and he has never had a problem keeping his private life in check until her. Olivia drives him crazy and with each moment he spends with her the more he wants her. So instead of telling her he makes her life miserable. That certainly gets her attention in the wrong way! His father was once in charge of this company and was a terrible cheat and made his way through all of his employees but Marcus will not be like him. It is soon apparent that this is more than a crush. They will both need to figure this out before it burns them both! Let the office games begin.

I liked this story. It was short but entertaining and enjoyable with a few exceptions. The characters were easy to relate to and likable. Granny Sue cracked me up. She was a great addition to the story. Olivia likes her boss, but while he is out of town she is forced to work with his brother Marcus. While she is attracted to Marcus, she doesn't like him. Marcus is attracted to Olivia but is fighting it which makes him a really big jerk. While trying to figure out his feelings, Marcus makes several mistakes that cause an even larger rift between them. Once Olivia goes back to working for his brother, Marcus realizes how much he wants and needs to be around her. Marcus cracked me up with all of his self-recrimination. Their happy ever after made me smile. I recommend reading this book.

Holy heck I freaking loved this story. Give me a brooding quite unlovable guy and I am happy.❤❤ Marcus fell for his temporary secretary, but boy did he work against it. 😂😂 Olivia had the patience of a saint😂😂 A sweet, romantic, steamy, safe and funny story to read. Love and lust at first sight but with a few funny struggles throughout the story😍😍😍 Can't wait for Thomas and Ellas story👍👍👍

Olivia Overton has two weeks left working with her normal boss' older brother Marcus Thornton. She was stuck with him because she refused to go to London to work with her boss; so a PA swap it was. Unfortunately, she's almost at her wit's end trying to deal with his growly, rude, plans canceling jerk. Marcus doesn't know what happened, but somehow over the last four weeks, he's gotten obsessed with Olivia, her standing date on Thursdays that he hates, did he say her? He forces her to cancel one Thursday night date, and then plans for a visit to one of their clients in LA that "requires" her to attend. During one of their evening events, a lot of liquid courage and no food, makes Olivia kiss him, thinking it'll all make sense with his now "softer" looks at her. Nope, not the case. Marcus scrambles and says those dreaded words "that should never have happened", crushing Olivia. Marcus doesn't want to repeat his father's mistakes, sleeping with all his female workers (while married), so he is worried about Olivia, his feelings for her and the company fratenization policy. A few days after Olivia goes back to working for her boss, Marcus tells his brother how he feels about Olivia and they come up with a plan and he even finds out about her Thursday dates. But, will Olivia give Marcus a second chance? Over It is a great, quick read by Loni Ree. Reading about a growly alpha man and the non-pushover heroine he is obsessed with is always a great way to spend a bit of time. Loni Ree created a wonderful set of characters again and brought others along for the ride. I cannot wait to see what she does for the other business partners at Thorton and Brunts.

I thought that this was a really good book. Marcus and Olivia were great together. Marcus is the definition of bosshole but he can't really be anything else because he has to hide his feelings somehow. Olivia only puts up with Marcus's hot and cold because she knows that it is only temporary but that she doesn't stop her feelings from growing. Once Marcus is able get over his issues, he his has to work on getting Olivia to forgive him but don't worry these two get a wonderful HEA that is very swoon-worthy! I would recommend this book and Ms. Loni as a great author!

It took him long enough!
I’m a huge fan of Loni Ree’s OTT Alpha heroes. But Marcus takes way too long torturing himself that he cannot date Olivia, an employee in his company. Luckily, a little brotherly advice goes a long way to get Marcus thinking straight about dating his girl. But is his girl willing to listen after being subjected to his boorish behavior? After all, she doesn’t know how tormented he was about falling in love with forbidden fruit.
This is a slow torturous burn to get to the HEA. But it’s a good one!

So first off, can I get a Granny Sue? She was quite the hilarious addition to the story! Ok, secondly, loved the story, even if I really just wanted to shake some sense into Marcus when it first started lol. Lucky for him, Olivia and I both forgave him once we found out why his behavior was so awful, but she’s the one who got her HEA! There were nice little dual epilogues to catch us up on how well Marcus made everything up to her, and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole story from beginning to end.

This was a great story, very swoonworthy.
I loved it, how they first annoy each other, he’s acting like a boss from hell just because he doesn’t knowhow to act upon his feelings.
It was cute to see how they found each other and fell in love.
A really nice read!

The bigger the bosshole... the harder they fall
I really enjoyed this story. I loved that the heroine didn't just fall into his arms and spread her legs (for the most part). There was an actual story involved in the falling into his arms and such. There are some time jumps, but you don't feel like anything is missing. Overall, a great read!

A sweet office romance
It starts off a little rocky as the Boss doesn't know how to handle his feelings so he comes off as a big jerk.
Once things are on track it's fill speed ahead for them. They say first comes love, second comes marriage, and third comes baby in a baby carriage. That's exactly the way it goes.

Quick entertaining read , perhaps a little more arseholiness ( lovely word ) from Marcus would have expanded it but still a great story.

This was a insta love read that captures your attention. Comedy, love, jealousy, and a alpha man that will do anything to keep Olivia close. Marcus sure has his work cut out for himself.

I enjoying this story very much when reading it immediately after it was released
I'm leaving this review as a sort of guide for readers that are fans of this author and the group of authors that those of us who love this genre can associate her with as in general "guaranteed gonna read eventually" when they put out a book ( Loni Ree shows up along side Amazon listed authors such as M.C. Moore , ChaChari(sp?) M., Hope Ford, Frankie Love Shaw Heart etc.)
I recommend that if you were wait for the second book to come out like I was, go back and read this one again first, the read the sequel that just came out like yesterday ( it's 5/18/21 today)
I say this because I was that right away because I was excited it finely came out, only to re read this after, and realized two things.
1. I would have enjoyed the second much more if I'd read it shortly after this one, before I'd forgotten what is love about this story staring Marcus and Olivia ( with a loaded set up for his brother Thomas and Ellas' story to follow...
I read that and then came back to this book and realized I wish I'd had the desire to re-read this be for diving into the second because I waited so long for it id forgotten that sometimes books in a series are better when you haven't different the first be for reading next ( sometimes thes e authors series are better at a whole then their counterparts as standalones)
And 2. After reading something another author left as an end of story note to her readers( not loni ree but in that grouping she falls in).. Was how her book/story's that she'd just published had been affected in many ways due to the quarantine.. Something I hindered knowing a little about the bus end of being an artist ( as one myself who despite begin accepted into 2 of the top Art schools of this country with scholarship and all, decided not to go, because I saw how turning my craft into my means of income negativity affected my work, giving me the perspective that I hope intense respect for those who can have their craft be consistent as a career , also adding to this I'd also 'worked with arts in the indie music business world( music not being where my creative form of art that I'm seem to be skilled with, but understanding the business and to an extent that benefited the arts I worked with, as being a creator myself, but not me, cause the buz end ppl kinda can't be so sympathetic to the artist end if THEY stand a chance at making money .. It's weird cause your think since they both equally need the other to achieve success they wouldn't be so dismissive of the importance the other is in playing g a part in the work of takes to put it out there for us to consume, and have their work not suck as a result of working together instead of against each other in however the system that combines the biz and art worlds together ... I haven't been on the biz side of writing, but I can only imagine the head ache as is been on both seats in different mediums... Ironically my perspective helped out the arts end, but screwed me on the making Money for me end as the biz person..)
POINT BEING us readers show be aware going in and not be as harsh if the finished products went as up To par with what an author we love usually puts out, it's not their fault, they are still talented, we need to cut the entertainment industry some slack somehow..
End rant
Book was good second was good too but better if read directly after this, and understand maybe the delay in it coming out so far after this one and it maybe not being on the level we come to expect from this author of already familiar and fans of her, it's not cause she's is slipping ,and
... but maybe it's due to the same issues that other author mentioned being hindered by not having access to the same publishing end tools that she had before quarantine...
I'm leaving this review as a sort of guide for readers that are fans of this author and the group of authors that those of us who love this genre can associate her with as in general "guaranteed gonna read eventually" when they put out a book ( Loni Ree shows up along side Amazon listed authors such as M.C. Moore , ChaChari(sp?) M., Hope Ford, Frankie Love Shaw Heart etc.)
I recommend that if you were wait for the second book to come out like I was, go back and read this one again first, the read the sequel that just came out like yesterday ( it's 5/18/21 today)
I say this because I was that right away because I was excited it finely came out, only to re read this after, and realized two things.
1. I would have enjoyed the second much more if I'd read it shortly after this one, before I'd forgotten what is love about this story staring Marcus and Olivia ( with a loaded set up for his brother Thomas and Ellas' story to follow...

She has become his obsession.....how did that happen again?
Over It is the first book in the Boss from Hell series and all I can say is that Marcus Thornhill was definitely a boss from hell for Olivia Overton. The worst thing was that he was not actually her regular boss, as that was his brother Thomas. But when she will not accompany Thomas on a six week work trip to London she and Marcus's PA Ella switch. So there is a definite end date to this hell she finds herself in, that is if she does not strangle Marcus with his tie first. Initially when Olivia started working for Marcus she was like all the other women in the office as they fawned over him. After all he is tall, handsome and very sexy. But she is way over that delusion and knows the reality of just how unreasonable and demanding he actually is. She just needs to make it two more weeks and then Thomas will owe her forever for this.
Marcus is the CEO of Thornhill & Brunts, a business consulting company he started with his brother Thomas and their third partner Josh. They are based in Atlanta but work with businesses all over the world. Marcus is focused and disciplined....but that all goes out the window when he finds himself obsessed with Olivia, a woman he barely even knew before now. He is so crazy about her that he tries to make her miss her standing Thursday night date by making up work to keep her late at the office. Even though he has no idea who the standing date is with. The man has it bad but he also knows that the partners made a rule that no one could become involved with another employee. Plus he also has certain feelings about this because of he father, who was an infamous skirt chaser and cheater on their mother. But that does not mean he does not dream every night about Olivia and what he would like to do with and to her.
I really enjoyed and laughed with this well written story. The story is written in dual POV with some great, and very humorous inner thoughts of both characters. I have to say that I laughed harder at Marcus as he was a man on the edge in more ways than one. He comes up with plans to ensure Olivia is not able to go on her Thursday night dates which make it even worse for him and puts him in more misery. Olivia is charming and I also loved her Granny Sue. There was a woman with some good sense and is ready to kick Olivia in the butt when she needs it. This was another winner by Loni Ree as it mixes humor, drama, romance, family and some very sexy and smokin' hot passion.

Once his brother is back he gets the story of why he’s being difficult out of Marcus. Tells him he is nothing like their father and he should go for Olivia. I liked that when he told her he wanted to date her she told him she had to think about it. After a few days she agrees to date him, but he wants something much more serious. He takes her to New York and does all the touristy things with her and caps the night off with concert tickets to her favorite group. That night, at the hotel they have their first time together, back home he continues to woo her. They marry almost a year later with an epilogue nine months later with a baby.

Olivia is acting as Marcus’s PA for for 6 weeks while her regular boss is out of the country. Olivia thinks Marcus is an unreasonable, demanding jerk of a boss. However, Marcus is fighting his attraction to Olivia because he doesn’t want to be like his dad and sleep with his secretary and the company has a policy about coworkers not dating. He has Olivia accompany him on an out of town trip and after drinking too much they end up making out but stop before they go too far. When they return home Olivia returns to her regular boss but they both realize they have feelings for each other. Will Marcus and Olivia finally admit to each other how they feel?
I give this book 4.5 stars. I thoroughly enjoyed this story where enemies become much closer but company policy and Marcus’s family history keep them apart. The author did a great job showing their developing feelings and I loved the role that Olivia’s granny and Marcus’s brother had in them getting together. The epilogue was a perfect ending for their story.

In Over It (Boss from Hell Book 1) we follow along as Marcus & Olivia stumble their way to happily ever after.
Olivia's boss is on out of town business so she's temporarily assigned as his brother Marcus' PA. She's very attracted to his looks, but his bad attitude is so bad that she's afraid she'll kill him before her boss gets back.
Marcus knows he's being an ass to his temporary assistant, but he just can't help it. He's so attracted to her that it's driving him crazy but there's no way he can let himself get involved with an employee. Now if he can just get his heart & his head to agree on things...
This was a great start to a new series. The main characters are a real trip. They both have so many conflicting emotions that they drive each other crazy. The story line was enjoyable, tho a little off in a spot or two. It's a quick read that long on entertainment. All in all, if this is an example of this new series then we're in for a treat with the rest of it.
I read this book through Kindle Unlimited.
