The Donovans #12
Wrapped In A Donovan
‘Tis the season to fall in love…
Jenise Langley has always been known in her family as “Ms. Independent”. A seasoned trial attorney now managing the Miami branch of the prestigious Langley Law firm, she’s all about taking care of herself and her business. Until Savian Donovan walks into her office and opens the door to unbridled passion. But outside the bedroom there’s turmoil brewing behind Savian’s stormy eyes and pending murder charges on his doorstep. Now, Jenise must decide if she’s on board for a bumpy road to love or if the shields she’d learned long ago to erect around her heart should remain in place…forever.
Savian Donovan is in big trouble. He’s suspected of murder and he’s sleeping with his attorney. His name is being dragged through the mud and his father and uncles are still keeping secrets from the family. There isn’t one good thing about the upcoming holiday season that Savian wants to celebrate…nothing, except the fire that burns bright and fierce between him and a woman he never expected to meet…or love.
**AUTHOR'S NOTE: This book is #12 in a series. While it may not be necessary to read each book that has come before this one, it is recommended that HEART OF A DONOVAN and EMBRACED BY A DONOVAN be read before reading this book, as there is a continuing plot in each of these stories.

Read this when it first came out and can’t believe I forgot to review it. Just loved the story of the successful, secure plus sized woman and her Donovan of the younger set client. The mystery of the older Donovan’s continues.

Entertaining writing ✍🏾
This book of the series is great, very high if not my favorite. Topic of full figured women, included the mystery of the "seniors " all combined with a love story.

The chemistry between Savian & Jenise is off the chain from the beginning. Watching two emotionally haunted souls first fight their growing feelings for each other then fight to be with each other was a treat! There's nothing like a love worth fighting for. Watching the senior Donovans plot thicken added that suspense we all look for in an AC Arthur book. I can't wait to see how that unfolds. Knowing that no one and nothing is safe in the Donovan world has me salivating for the next Donovan story! Job well done Mrs. Arthur!

Great Read!
This is a great book. I have loved all of the books I have read from the Donovan series. I love all the twists that the writer includes in her books. This book was no different. I enjoyed the love story between the main characters. I can't wait to read the next book. I am waiting for the mystery of the Senior Donovan to finally get solved. If you haven't read any of the Donovan books, get started. A.C. Arthur is a talented writer.

I loved this book, but I love the whole series. I fell in love with this couple for a lot of reasons but the main one is that Jenise is a confident beautiful full figured woman that's comfortable in her own skin and Savion loves every inch of her. I can't wait for the next book. This is a beautiful read that you all will enjoy.

My favorite of the series.
Love Savian and Jenise. My hope is the next book doesn't take as long as I had to re-read Heart of a Donovan and Embraced by a Donovan to jog my memory. I think that's the problem with series; it takes so long for the next installment. Please don't have us wait too long!

I need to be wrapped in a Donovan
The continuation of the Donovan story is really heating up. I especially like the leading lady had curves. Skinny girls better watch out. Big girls are taking over..lol... In the story we get more details about the senior Donovan's and learn more details about the blackmail scheme. Another good read.

Because it's an awesome book I like that Savian made the decision to stop letting the past dictate his future and I would recommend this book to all the women in my family
