This age gap (20+ year difference), workplace romance wasn't my favorite in the series. There wasn't much actual work conflict as the story quickly diverts to Gavin's family ranch when he discovers he has a daughter he never knew about and hires his assistant Zoey (who was about to quit) to be his new nanny.
For whatever reason I just didn't love this one as much. There were lots of humorous moments and a ton of heart but I didn't feel like the attention was on the couple's relationship as much as I might have wanted.
I did like the audio narration by Kevin Eiger and Lorana Hoopes and all the Dr. Love advice excerpts. I can't wait to read Sam's story in Falling for your enemy next!
Steam level: kissing only

Another amazing audiobook from Emma St. Clair! Falling for your Boss is a funny, cute, clean romance with very human moments that are easily relatable. Loved Falling for your Best Friend’s Twin which is Zane’s story and it leads nicely into this book which is his twin Zoey’s story.
Zoey is straight-laced, smart, and beautiful. She’s had a crush on her boss Gavin since she started working at his company. He’s almost twice her age, but is everything Zoey wants: a handsome, mature, grounded man. Zoey desperately admires him to the point that it’s painful to work with him because she would like there to be more to their relationship than boss and employee. Secretly, Gavin feels the same way.
Zoey has a hard time letting her guard down, but Gavin sees past the front she puts up and wants to discover Zoey’s hidden depths. He realizes Zoey could be his daughter and he’s her boss, but after a painful marriage and divorce, he’s finally ready to open his heart again. When the opportunity to go on a birthday date with Zoey arises, Gavin jumps at the opportunity and decides to put it all on the line to win her. However, there are definite surprises in store for both Zoey and Gavin that will test their fragile new relationship.
With baby goats, manure, sickness, and a boomer t-shirt debacle, this romcom will have you laughing and smiling all while listening. The narrators for the audiobook do such a fantastic job of bringing the characters to life. I enjoyed listening to Kevin Eiger and Lorana Hoopes. They narrated the previous book and it was fantastic. This book is just as enjoyable. Looking forward to the next book in the series! I received a copy of this audiobook from the author for my honest review. All opinions are my own and I was not required to give a positive review.

This one stressed/weirded me a bit, mainly because of the 19 year age gap. However, I ended up loving Zoey and Gavin! I loved how they chose to fight for love no matter what. It ended up being a really cute read and the epilogue was

Okay, this was really sweet!
I will admit to being hesitant about the age gap (19 years). While it isn’t unusual in historical fiction (think Emma & Mr. Knightley and Elsie & Mr. Travilla), the modern take on age gap is usually icky. HOWEVER, here I felt the author handled it quite nicely! I’m the same age as Zoey, and I can’t say I’d want to date someone the same age as my parents, but honestly, if the characters hadn’t kept mentioning the age gap, I would have forgotten. Why? Because Gavin & Zoey are incredibly well-matched. They have fantastic chemistry and balanced each other out.
So… yes, I thought it was well handled and frankly pretty sweet.
And I need to take a minute to say I LOVED Gavin’s parents! Also, Zoey’s dad—Mr. Abramson. I wasn’t sure about him initially in Zane’s story, but then with Zoey, he was amazing. She brought her feelings for Gavin to him. And while he did admit he had his concerns, he also trusted her judgment. Healthy relationship right there!
Content: kissing; physical attraction; mild innuendo

I never FELT the connection between the Hero and Heroine so it was hard for me to fall in love with their story.
