Make Believe Wife, #4 was ok.  These heroes were a little different from previous books.  Then #5, Promoted to wife was not as good.  I thought the heroine was a little immature for a girl her age.  Several things in the story didn't add up to me, the cook at the mansion had been there since the hero was a child, he was now in his 30s.  The butler had been there for over 20 years.  But it didn't seem as tho they knew each other.  That seemed weird.  But the heroine just did one dumb thing after another.  Then at a very crucial moment the hero sort of throws her under the bus.  Later he says he is sorry and that seems to make it all okay.  The chemistry was just so great that she couldn't stay mad.  I guess I hold grudges longer.#6 Not the Marrying Kind was more of the same.  The heroine seemed like a very immature girl for one that had been to college, was working and living on her own.  She meets the hero and 2 minutes later she is talking relationships and long term.  Really? She didn't even know his full name.  He is an undercover agent working with various local police as well as FBI, etc.  So his job is a serious one.  He gets in with the bad guys and then exposes them as they get ready to steal money from unsuspecting victims, etc.  Serious work.  Later in the story she runs into him by accident at a big hotel. He quickly covers by pretending she is his wife, flown in just to meet him while planning to buy property.  He is obviously undercover.  Instead of seeing what is happening and realizing the seriousness of what he is doing, she decides to have a little fun and tries to blow his cover.  REALLY?  How could she be so stupid?  I had to quit.  It was a struggle for me to get through this one.  I liked the other Carrington stories and could relate to the characters but this one branch of the family left me a little disappointed.
