From New York Times bestselling author Katy Regnery comes the finale to the Blueberry Lane series!The Director and Don Juan is the second of two books about the Philadelphia-based Story sisters who are all on the look-out for love.Heiress Alice Story left her father’s company three years ago in a blaze of glory, inviting all of his employees to jump ship and join her, but only one accepted her … jump ship and join her, but only one accepted her offer: mail room clerk, Carlos Vega.
While Alice spent the next three years getting her own company off the ground, Carlos became her indispensable right-hand man — executive assistant and office manager, loyal counsel and trusted co-worker.
And all the while, they were quietly falling in love with each other.
When Alice is offered a lucrative business deal in Puerto Rico, island-born Carlos is the perfect person to accompany her on her trip as translator. But as they travel together from Philadelphia to Santo Domingo to Ponce, two unlikely co-workers will discover that their feelings for each other have grown far deeper than they ever could have guessed.
And though business-minded, proper Alice will try her very best to ignore the longings of her heart, scorching hot, insanely sexy Boricua, Carlos, has no intention of letting her go.

When you discover an author like this, you want to read everything they’ve ever written and I need to read so much more Katy Regnery’s books! An author that can capture you from the first word she writes and you just can’t get enough of. So much praise for her; she really is becoming a new favourite and especially a one-click author for me!
Alice has had enough of not getting anywhere at her fathers company and she makes a sudden decision to leave and start her own. New beginnings are always hard but she works so much to get it from the ground and after a while it shows; new adventures always rise and while her company is now doing so much better, her love life isn’t. But sometimes you can’t see what is right in front of you… or can you?…
Carlos is a don juan and never gets tired of his one night stands but lately he’s not feeling it anymore. When he makes the sudden decision to leave with Alice to start her new company, life takes a turn that he didn’t see coming. Now, newer bigger things awaiten for him… But will he be able to get Alice to see that age is nothing but a number… ?
I loved reading The Director and Don Juan. It was a perfect easy to jump into story whether you’ve read any other books by this author or not. No forced angst or drama, with a bit of forbidden (boss-employee, slightly older woman) and enough emotion and interesting storyline to keep me turning pages to see what happens next.
Alice Story has been running her own import/export company with the support of her loyal employee, Carlos Vega. Carlos has an uphill battle ahead of him if he wants Alice to see him as more than just her workplace indispensable right hand man.
“Thank you.”
“For what?”
“For showing me how to do this.”
“This?”
“Love someone. Be loved. Let it happen.”
I really enjoy Katy Regnery’s storytelling. She knows how to make sure I’m immersed into a story and stay invested from start to finish!
Loved this book!
Alice and Carlos have raised the bar when it comes to the work / lovers relationship!
Alice Story is a strong intelligent women that has always had to prove herself to her Father. The day finally comes that she realizes that no matter how dedicated she is to the family business she will never earn his respect. What is a gal to do …take your brilliant ideas and make run your own Show.
Carlos has worked as Alice’s faithful assistant for years. He has always admired her from a far . Knowing that she would never cross the professional barriers he kept his feelings under wrap.
Now as they venture on together into this new business they realize how well they work together.
A prospective business venture lands in their lap and it appears that it may be a great investment. The only problem is Carlos is getting a strange vibe from the man behind the offer and his persistent romantic interest in Alice !!
Things heat up when they set out on a business trip!!
I absolutely loved them!!!

Three years ago Alice Story walked away from her misogynistic father’s company and started her own import/export company. Carlos Vega was the only employee from her father’s company to follow her to her start up. They worked together side by side for three years to make it grow and succeed. Carlos has been in love with Alice, but doesn’t think she can get past their age difference (he is seven years younger), their different backgrounds (he is working class Puerto Rican, she is an heiress), and the fact that she is his boss. They have to go on a business trip to Puerto Rico, where love blooms. Pretty simple story with a nice HEA.
Love all the Blueberry books. This one doesn’t disappoint; nice romance, good story building; great characters.
One of my favorite books in the entire series…
ARC for honest review with no compensation
The Director and Don Juan by Kate Regency is the 2nd book of the Story Sisters and a continuation of the Blueberry Lane Series! ! ! Love revisiting and catching up with characters from the series….
Alice Story has worked in her father’s company since she was a young girl, even though she has gone on to college and business school to show her father she is more than capable of running the business he always pats her on the back and give her promotions to someone else. Enough is enough and she decided to quit and start her own company asking anyone at her father’s company if they want to join her but the only taker is Carlos Vega, the mail room person.
Carlos Vega came to America from Puerto Rico with his college degree but the only job he could find was the mail room at Alice’s father’s company. Hoping that he could move up in the company but like Alice that’s not happening…..so….when he sees Alice quit and ask if anyone wants to join her new company is jumps on board and becomes her right hand man, sounding board, and is slowing falling in love with her but thinks she is way out of his reach because he is seven younger that her.
With the company growing stronger and expanding every day, these two find in their own private thoughts that friendship is not enough but don’t know how to navigate past the friendship stage. Taking a business trip to Puerto Rico changes this but still obstacles remain…..
Can these two find their HEA or will they just remain Boss and Assistant????
Once you start reading you will not want to put I down because you want to find out what happens next…..thanks Kate for an awesome book! ! Looking forward to the next Story sister…….
