*****3.5 stars****As much as I love a sexy bad boy, I freely admit I have a weakness for a hot techie geek, too.  Noah Frellish is just that as the rich founder and CEO of LiteWave Tech, and he may not be a smooth-talker like the rebels out there, but I was still smitten!When Michelle mistook Noah for nothing more than a simple, but smoking-hot, computer nerd named Sark, it was of course the perfect scenario for the wealthy man who everyone wanted for his money.  Deceptive, yes, and it was clearly going to come back to bite him given that Michelle worked in a department of his own company.  But before his secret was revealed, these two had some sweet moments together even though their worlds were so vastly different.  And Noah proves that even the techies know their way around the female body!! He's soft and cuddly where you want him, and all hard business where you need him, which was perfect for a shy and lonely girl new to the big city.Though I liked the contradiction between Michelle and Noah, her inexperienced country girl personality was played up a bit too much for my tastes. I really wish she hadn't been quite so naive about the business world given that she was hoping to have a career in it.  She seemed all too content with having others bail her out of her career struggles at times, and I wanted more effort from her, especially with her lack of experience and education already weighing on her situation.Overall, I enjoyed these characters and liked how their relationship grew despite their differences.  With a few aspects of the plot that just didn't come together quite right, this wasn't a perfect story.  But it was a simple, light read that has a straight and easy flow and leaves you with a good feeling, and I think most of us need a book like this from time to time!Quotes:He followed in a stupor, holding a heated internal philosophical and ethical debate.  She didn't recognize him.  She liked him for him.  He should tell her he was her boss--well, her boss's boss's boss. ~ Noah, p. 15He nodded again, unable to muster the slightest bit of energy for being polite when it felt like his heart had taken a header down a mountain and been trampled by a dozen trail bikes. ~ Noah, p. 97Her feelings for Sark hadn't changed now that she knew he was actually Noah Frellish.  If anything, knowing he was the CEO gave him layers she hadn't even guessed at.  Right now her anger at herself for being so naive superseded any other feelings. ~ Michelle, p. 100
