Abbey quits her job when she finds her boss/boyfriend cheating on her with a friend/co-worker....and on the same day is so strapped for money because she has no job that she needs to pose as a "complimentary masseuse" for her PI friend trying to catch a cheating husband in the act (she has instructions to at least look like she's sleeping with the guy, and if she does ending up doing that, well he's very handsome, so...)?  And she is okay with it!  How does a woman who supposedly was in a pretty good job and didn't do these things before quitting become so deperately in need of money THE SAME DAY SHE QUIT?  And if she needed money that badly (the why of which is never explained other than a suggestion of some credit card debt), why wasn't she working on the side for her PI friend all along?And it pretty much went downhill from there....her morals were clearly questionable already, then she has sex with the "cheating husband", who we find out immediately is the cheater's boss just pretending to be the cheater because as the owner/CEO of the company, he couldn't possibly know more about his own business than someone working for him and potential customers would be scared off if they know he wasn't the VP of Marketing, but instead the guy who runs the whole show...but I digress.  Abbey has sex with a supposedly married man repeatedly, gets all upset with the same man for thinking she is a prostitute (she's not a prostitute - she's a complimentary masseuse who just gives out special extras, afterall), then because she was the one who was really doing her ex-boss/boyfriend's job (and she let that go on for at least 2 years?), after a week or 2 of her being gone, he gets fired and she gets hired back to that job because it was so obvious so quickly to the higher ups that she was the one really running the office?Wonders never cease...and unfortunately I could go on.  And there was the whole thing about switching names...calling the cheater Nick sometimes and calling Nick Nick other times and vice versa depending who was in the scene was confusing and interrupted the flow.I read the whole thing - it wasn't the worst book or anything, but I am seriously glad it was a freebie and it's unlikely I'll proactively hunt down other books by this author.
