Review # 1 was written on 2015-12-19 00:00:00 Marianne Karsh Sweet shy secretary falls in love with her boss only she doesn't know he is the owner of the company. She thinks he is a simple mechanic. She falls for him and they get engaged. But when truth comes out Maureen feels unsure. She loved Jake the mechanic but she is not sure she can be the proper wife of a dynamic tycoon. I loved both hero and heroine. Jake was an alpha but gentle hero and Maureen a warm sweet heroine. I loved the angst towards the end. Like Maureen i was frustrated Jake was such a workaholic and that he wouldn't say he loved her but the ending was super adorable. Jake totally redeemed himself and he became a great husband and father.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-12-10 00:00:00 Mary Ellen Guimomd 3 Stars ~ Maureen is a newly promoted secretary for a large aircraft manufacturer. She's incredibly shy and inhibited, finding it difficult to make friends, and terribly lonely since her parents death six months ago. She's never seen the owner of the company but she learns he's on his way back from South America, an extended year away; and he's not a happy man. The Faber-Jet has failed it's first test flight and it looks very much like sabotage. There's a new mechanic at the plant where Maureen works, and he's sparked her interest. Caught staring and then appearing to be stalking him, she's mortified when he accuses her of coming on to him. When it turns out he's the new tenant for the other half of her duplex, she finds herself hiding indoors until she's sure he's not home. Jake finds his neighbour a bit of an oddball, but he needs to get closer to her to find out what she knows about the problems at the plant with the Faber-Jet. Jake's undercover as a mechanic but his real mission is to find the saboteur and make heads roll. Maureen's innocence attracts his cynical nature, and he finds he wants to get to know her. But Maureen doesn't know who he really is, and she's slowly falling for the mechanic, Jake. He's awakening her, peeling away her inhibitions. But is seduction the only thing on his mind, or does he really care about her? Ms. Palmer has penchant for cynical heroes and na�ve virginal heroines, and we have them in this story. Jake, of course, is the mysterious MacFaber owner of the company and uber wealthy. Maureen is a young woman very much repressed socially but she charms Jake and he can't seem to stay away from her. While he was Jake, he was actually a pretty great hero; patient and tender in Maureen's introduction to intimacy. When his true identity is revealed, he's a real jerk setting down the rules and demanding that Maureen like it. What saves this story is that Maureen learns to stand up and take some of the control back. Not the best by Ms. Palmer, but an enjoyable read none the less.
