Description:

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.

Calm, cool, and always collected, Ross is the perfect person to take over the ad agency her father founded–and the perfect opposite of Shelley, who’s distracted by her mother’s relentless matchmaking and her big sister’s marital meltdown. Is it any wonder her father has entrusted the agency to the blond, Porsche-driving Ross rather than his own flesh and blood? To add insult to injury, Ross–her new boss–has stuck Shelley with the client list from hell (Falafel Hut, anyone?). But if he thinks he’s going to chase Shelley Schwartz out of her family legacy, he’s got another thing coming. And if Shelley thinks she can resist Ross’s charms, she’s got some surprises in store as well.

From Booklist

As Wax's latest lively tale begins, it's hard to believe that anyone likes Shelly; the reader certainly doesn't. The quintessential Jewish Princess with a job in name only in her father's advertising agency, she lunches and shops more than works, but deep down she is unhappy with her lack of real involvement. When her father suffers a heart attack and turns his business over to a hated rival who actually expects her to work for her paycheck, Shelly is transformed. Assigned to low-end accounts like a tire store and Falafel Shack, instead of having a tantrum, she channels her anger, comes to work on time, and puts in a creative effort with profitable results. There are a few bumps along the way, but as she improves her life, she helps bring meaning to her sister's life, too, and romance to her best friend. A bit predictable and slightly oversexed, this will nonetheless provide lightweight fun for Wax's fans and other chick-lit and hip romance enthusiasts. Danise Hoover
