Oh-So-Sensible Secretary
by Jessica Hart
Fresh,
fun, invigorating romance!
Summer Curtis sits
waiting for the arrival of her new boss, Phin Gibson. Her desk is
in perfect order, her nails perfectly manicured. Everything is
perfectly organized exactly like Summer likes it, except that her new
boss is late. Phin Gibson's reputation precedes him. He
takes groups of people into the wild territories to complete tasks
under the most appalling conditions --- not exactly the professional
type to settle into running Grieve and Gibson. Phin may be
gorgeous but can his laid-back, disorganized ways are all too familiar
to Summer. Besides, Summer still has her eyes set on
Jonathan. When Phin comes up with a plan to please the firm's
publicity and make Jonathan jealous in the process, Summer listens to
reason --- but is she really listening instead to her
heart? Can Phin show the ever so sensible secretary how to
let go and have fun? Will this commitment-phobic playboy find in
Summer the one thing lacking in all his adventures?
Jessica Hart's OH-SO-SENSIBLE SECRETARY is an absolute delight from
first page to last. The first person narration gives this romance
a sassy energy that makes this romance stand out as
special. Phin may not exactly be the kind of professional
boss his brother is, but as a man, he is simply irresistible.
Underneath the glamor of his public image, the man has a heart of
gold. Even his ways are a bit unorthodox, he brings a
wonderful combination of fun and honor to his crazy plans. Who
couldn't fall for his ways? Jessica Hart's handling of the first
person narrative, a point of view rarely seen in category romance, is
brilliant! Like Phin, Jessica Hart brings a fresh invigorating
perspective to the genre --- just the remedy for the late
winter-almost spring doldrums. With each romance, Jessica
Hart brings a freshness and challenge to the genre. OH-SO-SENSIBLE
SECRETARY a treasure. Brava!
