Review # 1 was written on 2019-04-20 00:00:00 Charles Kohl Rant ahead! Secretary is not missing. She quit after her boss hero didn�t stand up for her when his gold-digging fianc�e spilled coffee on her. Heroine has had a mysterious crush on her chain-smoking, womanizing, rude boss for three years. The heroine is now working as a �detective� in the office featured in The Case of the Mesmerizing Boss. The hero often uses this agency to find his mother who goes on adventures when she gets bored. Hero needs his secretary back because it�s taken three women to replace her. Heroine is done with the hero treating her like crap and she gets in several digs at the OW as well. So far so good. This heroine seems to have a backbone. Until the hero�s mother escapes to San Antonio and the hero�s cousin, Emmett. Yes, it�s the same EmmettLong, Tall Texans: Emmett, Regan Burke: Emmett\Regan\Burke from that book. I hated him then and I hate him now. He�s a horrible father and human being. And in this story he and his trio of delinquent children are used as comedy and as a foil to the hero. Since both Emmett and this hero are tools, I didn�t see a lot of contrast, to be honest. And I hated seeing the heroine of Emmett�s book being a sniveling doormat *again.* These are horrible, horrible characters. But back to our H/h. Heroine had a backbone until the hero saw her topless and did some breast magic while she was trying to get coffee stains out her blouse. Hero barges in on her in the bathroom. (Romantic � yes?) And let me make this clear: he�s sucking on her nipples while he�s engaged to the OW. Because some dim part of his mind knows that he�s cheating, he makes himself feel better by being cruel: He tells the heroine the OW is better looking then her. That he knows she has a crush on him. That he could take her virginity anytime. He continues to put the moves on the heroine while he�s engaged. He won�t break the engagement because he can�t admit he�s wrong. Once the OW gives him back his ring, then he seduces the heroine (no condom) and offers marriage since she might be pregnant. His mother goes missing again and heroine finds her in the hospital having tests for cancer. Heroine promises not to tell hero until the results are known. Hero finds out and breaks their engagement because heroine was loyal to his mother and not to him. Heroine mopes around for awhile until hero finally realizes he loves the heroine and takes her back. Gross. He was a cheater and hypocrite and his family was full of psychos. The bathroom seduction was tacky. Telling heroine she was not pretty was cruel. There wasn�t one redeeming thing about this hero. Run away heroine. Run away. Diana Palmer checklist: Hairy chest check Breast Description up tilted nipples (!?) Cigarettes hero has gone from cigarettes to cigarillos Alcohol no Town Descriptions Takes place in Houston. There are other characters who will get their own stories (Emmett � gag) Gardenia Scent No. Who could smell anything over all that smoke? LOL detail Heroine advises the new secretary to find the �smokeless ashtrays� Cutesy detail So many, cringey attempts at humor. (a) the three horrible children of Emmett�s (b) Emmett�s many marriage proposals (c) three secretaries to replace the heroine (d) the hero�s runaway mother who has been arrested as well as placed in a mental institution during her adventures. Hilarious! DP hobbyhorse Society has no values because art and culture are disappearing. Kids play with plastic toys, have VHS tapes and video games.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-06-19 00:00:00 Carl Budlong Another plain secretary who falls hard for her blind ruthless and engaged to a gold-digger boss. I'm a sucker for unrequited love stories and this one was super romantic and passionate!
