Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Falling for the boss!!!
Review: Again a wonderful book from Helen Brooks about having a relationship with the boss.First resistance then love and acceptance...

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: He loves me, he loves me not.
Review: Back Cover description: When Hawk Mallen took over the company Joanne worked for, it seemed he'd taken over her life, as well-expecting his new assistant to be at his command day and night! And when he offered Joanne a dream promotion, she realized she'd be at his side almost twenty-four hours a day....
Working so closely with Hawk, Joanne found it hard to ignore how irresistibly sexy he was. She was determined not to have and affair with her boss, but what if Hawk wasn't looking for a mistletoe mistress-but a wife?

OK, I liked Hawk's character, but I wasn't crazy about Joanne; as much as she stood firm in her convictions she also seemed to whine. The first couple of chapters were a little hard to take. She confronts the new boss with info based on gossip, finds out her mistake and resigns (or is going to). When she gets the new promotion, she doesn't change the secretary? Bits and pieces worked, but the whole plot came across as fragmented. Also, she never becomes his mistress--who chooses these titles?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very romantic
Review: One of the most romantic books I've read. Hawk is everything you'd want the hero to be, except that his proposition is lacking in the marriage department. Nevertheless he makes it very obvious from the start that he wants a commitment but doesn't believe in marriage, something he views merely as a legality, not necessarily more binding. Joanne, a virgin is independent, highly intelligent and successful. They sizzle. Great story.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Mistletoe Mistress By Helen Brooks
Review: The actress I have in mind as Joanne is Bridget Fonda. What I liked about Joanne was that she was a strong and independent woman, yet vulnerable and very innocent. She was a virgin. What I didn't like about Joanne was that she was not willing to take risks. She was a loner because of her past. My favorite scene with Joanne was when she was threatened and Hawk saved her and admitted his love for her. This begins on page 177.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: He loves me, he loves me not.
Review: When Hawk Mallen took over the company Joanne Crawford worked for as production assistant, she was incensed. When her resentment dies, she knows working with Hawk will be difficult to impossible. He wants a physical relationship, but doesn't believe in love, while Joanne has no intentions of giving herself to any man except in love.

Well developed and reasoned out, this tale of two wounded individuals who learn to love is an absorbing read.
