My Rating: 4 of 5 stars
Synopsis:
Kathryn thought she knew Hugh Parkinson, a charming, rakish playboy who was used to women being served to him on a plate. In his eyes she was just his utterly efficient, slightly uptight assistant.
Until she nearly lost the thing that mattered most to her, and unexpectedly Hugh was there to help: he was prepared to marry her! But the catch… Hugh wanted this convenient marriage to keep Kathryn not only as his trusty assistant—but also to warm his bed….

My Thoughts:
Kathryn is working as a personal assistant to Hugh. Her fiance Daryl is not happy about this as Hugh is a well known rake. Hugh is starting to feel attracted to Kathryn but knows that she is engaged so he is trying to steer clear but he is very distracted because of her.Daryl, in a fit of jealousy, hits Kathryn and she throws him out. Hugh becomes very protective of her. He realizes that she is not upset over Daryl but something else. He gets her to tell him about a will where she is required to be married before she turns 30 (5 weeks away) or she loses the house. He offers her a marriage of convenience. They will get divorced after she turns 30 and has the house. There is a saying about "best laid plans" and it definitely applies here.
This book was a quick and easy read. I wouldn't say there was anything that stood out above other romance novels like it. It is still well written and definitely worth a read. It is one of those books that you curl up with on a cold day.
