Quick Review: The Corporate Wife

Synopsis

Why does she keep wishing she'd said YES?

Erin Reynolds is already the perfect corporate secretary and personal assistant, so when her boss, Slater Livingstone, suggests they make their arrangement permanent through a marriage of convenience, the idea seems perfectly sensible -- to him. Erin, on the other hand, thinks his offer is ludicrous... but the moment she turns him down, she can think of nothing but Slater.

Review

The Corporate Wife surpassed my expectations. I expected an overly exaggerated story with very little characterization. I think it was the synopsis that didn't say much or the book cover that said too much, this book looked as interesting as a leaf in field.  I honestly didn't think much of this book when I started reading it. This book cover adds nothing to the book. The writing is great, the title of the book is okay but the book cover stinks.

 This book was surprisingly good. Leigh Michaels creates characters that have personality and life. Being that this is essentially Mills and Boon, the whole book could have verged on the ridiculous but Micheals understands romance. She understands her audience who want romance without the sweet and sickly feeling.  Erin could have been a cardboard character but she is intelligent and graceful. Slater could have been pompous megalomaniac but he's sweet and charming. This is classic Mills and Boon without too much cheese and with the right amount of romance. My only complaint is that I wish it was longer. Great Read, Better Author. This is a must read. The only Mills and Boon I can say deserves the price-tag. Great Read. Happy Reader.
