Who's the Boss? / Her Perfect Stranger
In these two classic Harlequin Temptation stories there's more happening in the office than just work!
Who's the Boss?
Having inherited nothing but a stack of bills, Caitlin Taylor is a poor little rich girl. Thank goodness she's got a new job. Right away though, it's obvious she and her gorgeous boss, Joe Brownley, have very different ideas about her role! One thing they do agree on is that the attraction between them is best explored after hours….
Her Perfect Stranger
For only one night, Commander Corrine Atkinson lets go of her iron control and seduces a sexy stranger. Come morning, she sneaks out of his bed and gets back to her own life. Too bad her perfect stranger turns out to be Mike Wright—the newest member of the team she's commanding. And spending all day together reminds Corrine how good they are at night!

I really enjoyed the first book. But the second . As much as I tried. I couldn't get into it. So I have decided to give it up.

umm, yeah, gotta love the '90s... Jill Shalvis prob. thought she was being progressive in how she treated women/work issues and actually just managed to be horrifyingly not so. In her defense, she's gotten better since then. In her not defense... REALLY, that seemed ok to you in the 90s????

Nobody Beats Shalvis
As always Shalvis never disappoints. 2 stories with interesting characters with storylines that are seamless. Steamy hot scenes. Good read.

Oh, good God. These are 90s stories. Blergh. Former princes is left destitute by her father and learns to fend for herself with the love of a good man.
Second book? Oh. Good. God. Because it needed to be said again. Woman sleeps with a guy. Finds out he's her subordinate. He won't stop chasing her. Can't understand why she's worried about this. STALKS HER TO HER PARENTS HOUSE. So glad Shalvis' writing has gotten better.

Not loving these "classic" reworkings of popular contemporary early works. The heroines aren't very likeable, especially the one from the first story. The second story was better, but never addressed a major plot obstacle, so wasn't believable either. To make these stories work, it's another case where you would have to do a complete rewrite.

This was a quick easy read. It is an older story with the cliche of a struggling woman and a wealthy male. There is much more to the story and this IS a story by Jill Shalvis!

It was really good. The first story was better than the second story.
