Husband From 9 To 5
MEMO
To: The Single Women in the Office
From: Molly Doyle, Temporary Wife
Re: My Make-Believe Marriage
For three glorious days, I was Jack Cavanaugh's wife...or so I thought. A bump on my head made me believe I was married to my dreamy boss, and Jack had no choice but to play husband--doctor's orders, he said. But I know he really did enjoy my wifely attention. Dare I hope I'll be with my once-upon-a-time groom...after hours?

608 books456 followersGood morning! It's a beautiful sunny beginning to the day here in Western, Pennsylvania. I'm working on my 75th book. 75th! I'm very excited about that.
I've written some fun things ... those are the Silhouette Romance titles. I especially liked SNOWBOUND BABY which was book 3 of the Bryant Baby Bonanza series which also included BABY BEFORE BUSINESS and PRINCE BABY. But my favorites for Silhouette where the books of the Brewster Baby Boom series THE BABY BEQUEST, BRINGING UP BABIES and OH, BABIES! Where three bachelors inherit triplets. Those were fun to write. I go back every now and again and read them myself for a laugh!
My Harlequins are a little (sometimes a lot) more serious than my Silhouettes, but I always deliver a heart warming story that reminds readers that family and love go hand in hand.
You'll especially see that in FALLING FOR THE PREGNANT HEIRESS where Trent Sigmund decides to help his best friend Seth's baby sister Sabrina McCallan hunt down her on-again/off-again boyfriend, Pierre, to tell him he's about to be a father. Trent tries not to fall. So does Sabrina. Who knew real love had been in their backyard all along.
Sexy or sweet, funny or sad, my characters make some serious lemonade out of their lemons! :)
Because that's how I see life. I have three kids...one of whom has epilepsy. Raising him taught me (and my husband and our other two kids) that sometimes a situation that seems bad can have its blessings.

I don't really have much to say because I didn't really love it but it was a decent read and helped me pass the time.

What a fun book to read. Imagine getting bumped on your head, and waking up believing you are married to your dream guy, when you aren't. And when that guy is your boss, now do you get past this? Husband From 9 to 5 was a fast enjoyable read. When Jack shows up wearing a olive green plaid suit coat I had to remind myself this was written 20 years ago. But 20 years ago or not this romance stands the test of time.

2.5 stars rounded down
This was the second book I’ve read in the Loving the Boss Series which, given my general disappointment with The Boss And The Beauty (see https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...), shows how much of an idiot I am.
Thankfully, despite my general lack of discrimination with picking up books, this was pretty cute. The first half was cute and fun but the amnesia plot ended a little too quickly. The latter half was more inconsistent with unnecessary angst with the hero who couldn’t make up his mind. The heroine was a little bland as her defining characteristic being that she was in love with her boss but I gave it a pass as she generally worked.
The obsession with marrying the boss still irked me but I remembered to breath and remind myself that this an old-time Harlequin (90s!! Imagine!!)
I would generally rate this a 2.5 stars as it’s above average and a good time pass. However, due to the latter half being a bit bland I am not rounding this up. I would still recommend this for fans of the boss-secretary trope. It’s a pretty clean read and the characters are not ass-hats. Jack, the hero, is a nice guy even if the writing near the end indulges in too much indecision.

An amusing story. I liked the chemistry between Molly and Jack. I rather enjoyed the setup of the selective amnesia, ridiculous as that type of amnesia would be in reality. Jack was a nice, dependable hero but towards the end, that image tarnished somewhat with all the angst that was thrown in towards the end. I suppose it was used to write out those required pages but I could have done without all that tortured past thing he had going. Overall, enjoyable.

Kisses only romance. The hero keeps yanking the heroine around like a yo yo. He kisses her and pushes her away. He had a previous relationship that figured in with his erratic behavior, but wanted to say dude make up your mind and stick with it.

I thought the novel was cute but at times quite silly. I didn't really care for the ending, I thought it could be better written.
