"She wasn't the kind of girl gorgeous men flirted with. She was plain Jane Miller-great at her job, organized, efficient, sensible. Except that every time she met Jay's deep blue eyes, she knew he wanted her. And she wanted him-the guy was seriously sexy! Perhaps it was time to let go for a change, and have the time of her life!
Their intensely private and secret night together is mind-blowing, but now Jay has raised the stakes-he wants her as his mistress!"
I've always enjoyed Julie Cohen's books and this one was no exception. The hero, Jay is sexy and sensitive, excellent attributes for the modern man!
I only had one problem with the book and it is strictly a marketing issue. It is part of the "In Bed with the Boss" series. No problem, after all Jane is Jay's boss. Except the blurb at the back says "Seduced by her boss". Oops! Somebody wasn't paying attention.

There is no pleasure in having nothing to do; the pleasure is having lots to do and not doing it!
She's HIS boss? HMMM!

Good twist. I'll have to
Good twist. I'll have to read this one soon.

So yeah... I had this in
So yeah... I had this in my TBR pile. :) Just last night, I read it and posted about it. It was a good read, loved the passion and tenderness between them. I was a little surprised by the long period of restraint between their first coupling and the next time they gave in! I must read too many HPs where heroes use manipulation (or it was the misleading title) because I kept waiting for him to turn around and insist the pretence become reality and that HE finally would get to set the terms and make her his mistress (after all she wanted to pretend to be).
Thanks for the review, it put it higher up on my TBR list.
Mistress in Private
I had signed up to get the Modern Love collectio and this was in my latest shipment. Sounds like I'll be glad that I have it
