Review # 1 was written on 2012-08-26 00:00:00 Ashone Putman It was amazing ... on page 1. I was super stoked when I started this book � the blurb made it seem your average Harlequin, but then on Page 1 we learn that the heroine�s father, a scientist, died �in some experiment gone wrong�. Three lines later, we find out that her mother died a few years later �in one of those freak garden machinery accidents that were never supposed to happen�. Amazeballs! No random illness or car accident here � those are the most imaginative deaths I have ever seen in a Harlequin. Seriously, so many questions: what type of scientist was her father? Viruses? Lasers? Biolasers? And just what are these garden machinery accidents? It�s very coolly thrown out there, like everyone just knows. �Ah, yes, weed whackers. Same old, same old�. Sadly, the imaginative awesomeness ends here and the book turns very ordinary and rather boring. Her parents deaths are not explained any further. Sigh. However, I will always have a place in my heart for the unlucky scientist and his doomed gardener of a wife.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-01-31 00:00:00 Cathy Parrish Emmie was a strong hero. She's a caring and giving person. The only living relative she had was her step-grandmother. And since she started working for the gorgeous Barden Cunningham as his PA, she always lost her control. And despised him for being a womanizer, especially when she thought he was having an affair with a married woman, specifically his friend's wife. Barden Cunningham was your typical harlequin hero. Rich, gorgeous, ruthless, possessive, and lovable. I liked the way he took care of her and paid attention to her grandmother too. The chemistry between the two was off the charts. I enjoyed the witty banters and snappy remarks between Emmie and Barden. Plus, Aunt Hanna (Emmie's grandmother) was such a sweetheart. All in all, A Nine to Five Affair was a great read. I loved seeing a confirmed bachelor fell in love and work his way to win the heroine's heart. I really loved the way Barden confessed his feelings.
