Jake McBride is a self-made millionaire and womanizer extraordinaire. Emily Taylor is his efficient, smart, mousy, oh-so-uptight personal assistant.They have the perfect working relationship. Jake depends on Emily for everything, and Emily pretends to respect him. But then the unthinkable happens. Emily decides to branch out into the world of dating (as only the efficient, practical, and pragmatic would ever dream of doing) and somehow, Jake notices Emily is actually a woman. Not only does he notice, but it appears that every guy around has taken notice as well and Jake decides that he has to save Emily from herself and all the horny men of New York, who are all too willing to take advantage of his naive assistant.When Ms Marton gets it right, there is no Harlequin author better. How she is able to make these two characters (with their personalities) believable and engaging is beyond me. That she also manages to make them relatable and likable is a feat worthy of praise. I loved Jake, I loved Emily, and I loved all their little quirks and idiosyncrasies.I loved even more that I was able to laugh, get turned on, and get choked up all in 184 pages. By the last page I couldn't help but hold a hand to my chest and go 'Awww'. It's everything these short, quick reads are supposed to be. Thoroughly entertaining.
