Seriously! The books in this series just get better and better! I loved every bit of this. Well, ok there was one point I wanted to shake Winnie and it lasted longer than I wished, but even that part was handled in a way that didn't turn me off of liking her.

This book was very funny. I loved Winnie (despite her moment of stupid) and her comments with Ainsley had me laughing out loud, a lot.

Mark was damn near perfect. Honestly, I fell in love with him from the start and kept falling until the end. Elizabeth Brown really knows how to write her leading men. They are strong characters that really know how to treat the women in their life.

I had fun with this book and highly recommend it! ARC provided by Netgalley.

I adore this series! Winnie and Mark are adorable with a little bit of an angsty relationship. A one night stand turns into a boss/assistant relationship which turns into a permanent connection. There are broken hearts (Winnie really got on my nerves!) and some swoon worthy moments.

Funny, steamy (but the masturbating became repetitive) and I really enjoyed it! I have to admit it started out slow, but about 30% it picked up.

Storyline was great. I really enjoyed most everything about this book, except the crude factor! It was off the charts and it took away from the storyline.

I really loved this book! Humor, steam, a bit of angst, a couple surprises and a really sweet romance - I read this all in one sitting because I couldn't put it down. Winnie is a strong woman who takes care of her special needs sister, supports herself and doesn't have time for more than one night stands. Her best friend tells her she's worth more and makes her take a one month vow of celibacy. Mark, her new boss, is the one man that she shouldn't want but can't help herself even if she's supposed to be celibate. Mark is career driven, a bit of a jerk but sweet, sexy and he can't keep his hands off his new assistant. The banter and chemistry between Mark and Winnie was great. I absolutely adored Mark. He was perfect! The steam in this one was off-the-charts hot! Winnie frustrated me a bit towards the end but overall she was a really great character. I loved this book and I hope there is going to be another book in this series!

The vow of celibacy that Winnie Masters doesn't look good on her, especially after she meets Mark Bishop at her best friends wedding. Winnie caves to the power that is Mark and these two have the corner market on spark and steam.
When a job change puts Winnie working for Mark at her grandfathers law office things ratchet up and the mouth on this guy. I loved it. Winnie and Mark hid their relationship from those around them for a number of reasons. The book has a number of secondary characters, some pivotal, some not so much. Enough to say Winnie looks after her sister Lucy who has special needs. I loved Lucy, so wise in her little world and calls them like she sees them. There were a couple of people I could have lived without. I loved Mark and Winnie together. They were intense and not just in a sexual way. Mark's snark and Winnie's give it right back to him made them just fun to read. Mark was kind and generous. I loved that too.
This was a great read all in all. I'd recommend for a relaxing, fun, hot read. Low on the angst, just the way I like them.
Great story Elizabeth!!! 4.5 Stars

I wanted,to like this book a whole lot more than I actually did. I wanted to like the characters a lot more than I did. Winnie was rediculous, and Mark wasn't much better. I enjoyed the middle of the book, where they were together, but both the beginning and ending annoyed me. Winnie really falls into the TSTL category; her level of denial over everything was nuts. And Mark, I didn't even get where his character was in the end. He just quit a job he said he loved, and it was never really addressed. And he just buys all the baby crap and that is his wooing effort? Just didn't work for me overall.
