Back Cover:
Once burned, twice shy.
Kristin had been an innocent in Oklahoma, falling for her boss's flattery - and had been badly hurt. In New York she held everyone at arm's length - everyone that is is, except for one person. And that was when she realized with a shock that history seemed to be repeating itself - with her new boss, Seth Richards!
So when Kristin was given the chance to accompany him to Rome on an assignment, she refused. Then she discovered that her job and her apartment depended on her acceptance. But would she be able to resist the warm sensuality of Rome in autumn and Seth?

My Review:
The heroine understandably wants to avoid getting entangled with her boss... again. She got burned by her ex-boss. This time she lets the hero/boss go on believing she's got a live-in lover, so that he will keep his distance. Once she slips up and he finds out that the supposed "lover" isn't on the scene anymore, she doesn't have a lot of defense against his pursuit. He sees no reason they couldn't have an affair. I thought the hero got blamed a bit for the sins of the heroine's ex-boss, and really if I was the hero I would feel bad because I was constantly being compared. She eventually ran from him. I liked when he found her again at another office, he wouldn't allow her to leave his sight, wouldn't let her out of the room.
My Rating: 3/5 stars, pretty good book.
