The Fiore Family #2
Christmas with the Boss
Fabio: She’s the sister of my favorite chef, but after speaking to her for the first time, I feel something I’ve never felt for her twin. There’s only one problem, she believes the tabloid news spread about the celebrity customers and me I serve. How can I prove to her that she’s the only one for me?
Anabelle: Fabio Fiore is hotter in person than I was prepared for. When we cooked up the plan to get my sister and his brother together, I never expected to be the one falling madly in love. Still, I’m not the next flavor of the month kind of girl, but can I ignore him when he turns his charm on me?

This is the second story in the Fiore Family series. Fabio fell instantly in love with his chefs twin sister. Little does he know she feels the same. But misunderstandings and a disgruntled person makes it hard for them to get their HEA. I freaking loved how obsessed and in love Fabio was and how he did everything for his woman❤❤❤ A sweet, romantic, steamy and totally safe story (another freaking DV story 😍😍😍) with a great HEA and a bit safe drama as well 😉

I’m obsessed!😍
After reading book one in the Fiore Family I was so excited to get book two & it was so good I couldn’t put it down! Fabio was everything you could want in a growly possessive man, and he made it known that Annabelle was going to be his with no room for debate.
Their relationship was not as insta love as their siblings story, but they did have a very hot romance once they gave themselves over to one another and admitted their feelings. C.M. Steele has once again brought us a wonderful & steamy romance we’re a family gets bit by the love bug one after another, & it’s just so satisfying!

We met Fabio and Anabelle in their siblings story, Christmas with the Beast. Now we get to learn why Anabelle seemed angry at Christmas. Of course, it wasn't as it seemed in the previous book. She fell for her twin sister's (Isabelle) boss, Fabio. Unfortunately, being a famous chef and restauranteur, Fabio has had to entertain important celebs causing him to be photographed and in the media. Anabelle has seen all kinds of photos of Fabio with beautiful women, including one with a large ring claiming that they're engaged. Trying to nurse a broken heart she agrees to a date with the surgeon that took care of both Franco and Isabelle even though she has no romantic feelings for him. As a thank you, Fabio had invited the doctor to his restaurant, only he didn't want to dine alone. Nope, the doctor met Anabelle there for a date. Of course, nothing worked out that night and Anabelle went home even more hurt and confused over Fabio.
Once Fabio gets Anabelle to agree to a work dinner (he hired her for some graphic design work for his restaurant) and to discuss his plan on getting their siblings together, he thinks he can finally get her to see that they are meant to be. But just as they are beginning to enjoy themselves, that night also doesn't go well. Finally showing up at her house on Christmas Eve he gets to clear the confusion and confess his feelings. Anabelle takes a chance on love and confesses hers as well.
I loved Franco and Isabelle's story, but I think Fabio and Anabelle may have stolen the spotlight! I loved everything about this story - her jealousness and his possessiveness complicated each other perfectly. Looking forward to Mia's story!

“I can’t exist without you.”
I love Steele's Christmas stories. Ok, who am I kidding, I love all her stories. Christmas with the Boss is about Fabio and Annabelle. They are the siblings of Franco and Isabelle in Christmas with the Beast, which you must also read if you haven't yet. As always we get to enjoy an alpha man who is crazy obsessed with his woman. No abuse, some unwanted OW stuff which Fabio handled beautifully, 3 fantastic epilogues at 1 year, 15 years and 20 years later.

My reviews always contain spoilers, I write them so I can remember the story.
This is Fabio and Anabelle’s story, we saw them in Franco and Isabelle’s story. Through all the years Isabelle has worked as a chef at his restaurant Fabio has never met her twin Anabelle. When he does it’s love at first sight for him. Even though she looks like her twin he can see the difference and his heart tells him she is his Anabelle, unique in her own way. Only she makes his heart beat faster. Anabelle has been in love with him for a while but she has seen all the beautiful women he has dated and his engagement picture on instagram. She is a realist and knows she doesn’t have a chance with him. As a thank you he invites the doctor that saved Franco’s life and did Isabelle’s shoulder surgery to dinner, he didn’t know the doctor had invited Anabelle to be his date. The two men fight over her and she leaves upset. She has no feelings for the doctor and feels guilty for accepting the date. Fabio has her working on designing new menus for the restaurants as a way to get close to her, at a business dinner they are interrupted by a crazy woman who thinks she is engaged to Fabio. Upset Anabelle leave in tears. Fabio tells the woman off and reminds her he has a restraining order and she’s violating it. He’s even more angry because he’s worried Anabelle won’t give him a chance to explain. The weather helps with that, they get snowed in when he comes to pick her up for Christmas dinner at Franco’s. He explains everything and they talk and he tells her he has never dated any of the women he is pictured with, it’s all part of owning the restaurants. They continue to flirt and share steamy kisses. The next morning more talking and sexy times in the shower (no sex yet). They leave for Franco’s house where he and Isabelle have finally gotten together. Anabelle asks they don’t advertise their relationship yet, it’s Isabelle and Franco’s moment to shine. Fabio holds off all day but takes her to his room at bedtime and they have sex, both are virgins. There is more drama with the crazy woman and Fabio gets the police and his lawyer involved. When she ruins Anabelle’s business too he makes a press statement and shows the reporters the restraining order and his polygraph results that prove she’s crazy and he was never in a relationship with her. Anabelle’s clients that dropped her apologize but she ends their working relationship. Fabio proposes and they get married a week later. A few epilogues, one year later with a baby, fifteen years later with more kids and Anabelle pregnant again and twenty years later with their oldest daughter getting married.

Book 2 focuses on Fabio and Annabelle. I honestly liked this one better than the first book. At least it wasn't an insta-love kind of thing like book one. Annabelle was a strong character; stood up for herself. I loved Fabio; he was such a great guy. The best part of these books are the epilogues. I am looking forward to book 3!

Fabio and Anabelle's story!!
When Anabelle meets Fabio in person for the first time she gets the impression that he doesn't like her and that she is not in his league. Of course she couldn't be more wrong, when Fabio sees Anabelle for the first time all he could think is that he was looking at his future wife and no one could tell him any different. This is a great read and I highly recommend it!

Fabio never felt anything for Isabelle, but the first time he saw her twin, he knew he found his one. She thought he was a playboy with all the tabloid stories, a different woman all the time. He has to find a way to convince her that none of the stories are true. He enlists her help to get her sister and his brother back together (Christmas with the Beast).
Anabelle knows her sister is still pining for Franco and will do anything to see her sister happy. Spending time with her sister's boss is just so hard, the man is hot and it would be so easy to fall for him. She is afraid of being discarded like every other woman in his life.
I really enjoyed the story, these two are perfect for each other, look forward to Mia's story.

First things first; I like the cover of this book!
Christmas with the boss is the second book in the ‘’Fiore family’’ series.
This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. This book is Fabio and Annabelle’s story who we meet in book one. Annabelle is attracted to her twin sister’s boss. He also happens to be her boss/client. Fabio wants Annabelle but will he get his chance with her?
The chemistry between Fabio and Annabelle is clear to see and I liked them together.
I liked the ending and the epilogue for this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I look forward to more books from this series.

This is book number 2 of The Fiore Family series and focuses on Fabio and Anabelle. We met these 2 in book number 1 which was both of their siblings book. Fabio fell in love with Anabelle the first time that he heard her voice but he had to work to get her to see that she was it for him since he had a reputation in the media's eyes as well as a crazy woman who claims she is his fiancee. Anabelle has wanted Fabio for years but never acted on it because of his perceived reputation. I loved Fabio and Anabelle together. They were absolutely perfect for each other and brought each other so much happiness. Great addition to the series. I cannot wait for the next book in the series.

Fabio and Anabelle meet through her twin sister Isabella who works as a chef at Fabios restaurant. Together they planned for their siblings to be together not knowing it would bring romance their way too! But can Anabelle look past the stories of Fabios conquests? And have a chance at love together this festive season and beyond, or is someone else vying for her attention too! Book 2 in the series and bet read after Isabelle and Francos book. Well written short read but filled with steamy scenes, twists, obsessive alpha and a no nonsense taking woman.

I loved the first book in this series so I had high hopes for this one. We meet these characters in Christmas with the Beast and their interactions with each other lead us to believe they have some serious feelings for each other. Their story does show that - but I struggled with the constant sniping at each other. I'm sure this was a enemy to loves trope story but I kept putting it down and picking it back up again. I think it was nice to see Anabelle and Fabio get their HEA but not my fav so far in the series. Cannot wait to see Mia get her HEA.

Christmas With The Boss is book two in The Fiore Family series and is Fabio and Anabelle's story. If you read book one Christmas With The Beast then you already know who Fabio and Anabelle are because they worked together to get her sister and his brother together. Now it's time for Fabio to prove to Anabelle that he wants her and only her. I loved the chemistry between these two and how perfect they are together. This is a sweet, quick read and I was cheering Fabio and Anabelle on to get their happily ever after. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

Fabio has worked with Isabella for a while, but when he talks to her twin sister, Anabelle, there is an attraction like no other. Anabelle has known of Fabio for some time and has had a crush on him, but because things she sees on the internet, so is stand offish from him.
Christmas with the Boss is highly passionate story, where jealously and want will have Fabio doing things he never thought of doing. I love the second love story that is intertwined with Fabio and Anabelle.
The is a hot and steamy romance that you will not want to put down.

Fabio is in love with Annabelle the second he hears her voice. Anabelle is secretly in love with Fabio but she believes that he is a playboy that is also engaged. But Anabelle is about to learn the whole truth straight from Fabio. There is major other woman drama but Fabio is quick to shut that down. There is also some other man drama in the beginning, but again, Fabio shuts that down before it can even start. But I will give you a little bit of info......this story is dual virgins!!!!! I loved it!!

I received an ARC from the author and am voluntarily leaving my review. The second book in the Fiore Family series is about Fabio. He and Anabelle have an instant attraction between them. That does not keep them from having a few bumps in the road. She wishes he could love her and he wants her to see the real him. The more time they spend together, the harder they fall. I enjoyed the characters and story. Fabio is going to win her over

This wonderful read delivers some truly delightful feels and swoon and quite handily illustrates that sometimes great things come in little packages. That is not to say I wouldn't have loved a longer book for these two, but being short couldn't take the shine off of how awesome Anabelle and Fabio's love story was. There are plenty of lush emotions, some drama, a bit of angst and a whole lot of heart to be had as this fun story unfolds. This is my unsolicited, impartial review.
November 19, 2021
This is a cute holiday story. It is a fast read but more because it moves at a good pace. It has dynamic main characters that experience instalove but it is also a bit of a enemies to lovers story, all based on a misunderstanding. The drama makes sense in the story and adds to what is going on, it helps the story move and gives the couple a chance to prove themselves

Anabelle and Fabio were a sweet couple. Annabelle finds that Fabio is nothing like what is reported in the news. Fabio, an alpha male, finds that he's attracted to Annabelle but not her twin. Fabio is determined to make Annabelle his. I love how they took their time to get to know each other and finally admit their feeling to one another. Sweet steamy story.

Oh my goodness...
The love story between Fabio and Annabelle was awesome. She tried to fight it but just couldn't. She fell under his spell, just as he was under hers. Not taking away from their story, it wasn't quite as terrifying as Isabella and Franco's journey. Yes, Fabio had that crazy lady slamming him all over the internet but he had truth on his side. Loved how hot they were. Really good book. Written by Cindy :)

I’m so happy to get Fabio and Annabelle’s story. I was totally absorbed with their story in Franco & Isabelle’s book. This book answered all the questions I had, dropped some surprises and was just generally fabulous! I love Fabio and Annabelle and their beautiful love for each other! So excited and looking forward to both Mia and Soren’s stories.

I loved this book. Fabio and Anabelle were excellent together. I loved the connection, banter, tension, and chemistry between these two. I couldn't put this book down! I can't wait for Mia's book! I would highly recommend this book and Ms. C.M. Steele as a must read author.
