Shelley Schwartz works in her father's advertising firm --
sort of -- when she wants to. But after a heart attack, her
father decides to sell the business to Shelley's nemesis in
the office: Ross Morgan. She's determined to show them both
that she can not only handle the job, but excel at it.
It would be a lot easier if she could keep her mind off
Ross. Sexy, intense and driven, Ross thinks Shelley's a
spoiled rich girl who doesn't deserve a chance to prove
herself, but he'll give her enough rope to hang herself.
And he won't pay any attention to the stirrings he feels
whenever she's around.
HOSTILE MAKEOVER was a very fun read. Ms. Wax's characters
are wonderful and the plot is both exciting and believable.
I was rooting for Shelley throughout and hooting with
laughter at her mother. This story was just as much fun as
Wax's previous work, LEAVE IT TO CLEAVAGE, and I can't wait
to read her next novel.
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...
