The Corporate Wife by Leigh Michaels
3.0
In all honesty it’s hard to take a romance where the hero is named “Slater” seriously. We’re supposed to envision hard-charging incredibly handsome corporate tycoon, but all I can see is Mario Lopez in a muscle shirt being sleazily charming. It’s a generational thing I guess.
That said, there were a lot of little notes in here to enjoy - for example, the receptionist, Sarah has a “dinosaur scale” of the hero’s grumpiness (is he at a velociraptor or a T. Rex?). The heroine realizes her boss has unexpected depths when she wanders into his personal library and finds it crammed full of well-loved books. The marriage of convenience proposal actually makes sense, the heroine’s reasons for accepting it actually make sense, and it’s (mostly) plausible that the hero’s interest secretly preceded it.
