This was a cute story.  Two wealthy families marry off their off-spring to save the family business and keep the money in the family.  Great parents.  The two have been attracted to each other since they were teens so things start to happen fairly fast.So far, so good.  They do not know that each one is having these feelings for the other and of course, they never say anything.  Have sex but don't talk.  Not hard to believe so far.He is a big executive in the firm. His assistant is the bitch from hell.  Here after referred to as TBFH. She has every intention of ending the marriage and grabbing the hero for herself.  She has no limits as to what she will do.  Now, Mrs. Spineless lets her get away with all this crap, never saying a word to anyone but herself. She pulls one stunt after the other with nothing said, not even by the hero as she is hanging all over him, pawing him every chance she gets, etc.Well, the ultimate sin is when TBFH "forgets" to give him a message that his wife is in the hospital, serious emergency.  NOTHING is said by anyone, not his family, her family, him, the sick wife.  REAllY?  You will be happy to know that after TBFH walks into the wife's house, goes into her bedroom, threatens her, etc. the heroine finally grows a spine and in a very controlled voice (no yelling here) tells her to get out of her house.  Well, this BFH runs like a scaled cat from the house.  REAllY? That is all it took and we have put up with her for the whole book?  There is a HEA, naturally.  But, I would really have liked for the hero to have explained why he was always in a huddle with TBFH if she was such a skank, etc.  But it seems that was just forgotten.  I don't know of a female alive that would have overlooked that.  I really thought TBFH deserved a lot more blunt force than she received. It was a short read and could have been really good if the heroine or the hero had had a spine or brain in some cases.
