Hostile Makeover
by
Wendy Wax
It was the first orgasm Shelley Schwartz ever faked. She swore she’d never do it, but she was late for a career-saving meeting at Schwartz and Associates and her options were limited. If she’d faked it five minutes sooner, she might have earned her father’s approval, won the account, and bested her rival and the company golden boy, Ross Morgan.

I learned all about being Jewish, and single, and in your thirties, and being employed in your daddy's advertising agency when you aren't a really great employee and all of a sudden a big, blond, gorgeous guys winds up being a better child to your parent than you were (in terms of successor to the business and all that). And guilt. Oh god, guilt permeates the actions of this novel. Well, not permeates, per say, it's sprinkled on most things. Like powdered sugar, you try and sprinkle evenly but t...more
Cute. A perfect, fun, read.
It's fun, it's light, it's a quick read.
