The plot was promising enough. Beautiful girl disguises herself into an older, unattractive woman to get a job without getting harrassed by men.
She becomes the H’s secretary and she follows evening courses because she wants to pursue a career.
But the execution of the plot was meh. She’s an easy push-over. She thought he was engaged with the OW but she still kissed him. And she was found out too quickly by him. That masquerade was over too soon.
Anyway, there are some recurring themes. She falls asleep anywhere and anytime. They always eat good food. The beauty of a woman is all that matters. And for a woman love is more important than her career. 🙄
No steamy scenes except from some kissing and fondling. It’s a vintage from 1981.
It’s not bad, but it’s not good either. Just average. So 3 stars.

Samantha Lorrimer finds working in the financial district can be more than a little daunting. Bosses that routinely expect a little extra from a pretty girl has had her quit more than one job. Going undercover as an old maid to get a position as a secretary from one of the Wizards of Wall Street seemed like a good idea at the time. Until she got to know her boss.
Cory Talbott might be one of the most eligible bachelor's in the area, but he does not need the attentions of a pretty secretary to compound the issue. Having the dowdy Samantha as a secretary seems to be going great. That is until he finds she had deceived him. A beautiful woman pulling the wool over his eyes does not sit well with him. Anger at the deception is made worse by an attraction to Samantha.
An ok story. A little too much on the aggression side for me.
