Her Bosss BiddingLiked all the characters in this story and I really enjoyed the main romance. great reading............ Agli ordini del capo... traduzione amatoriale!!! Frankly it was boring.
A paint by the numbers story.
الملخص
لطالما القت النساء بأنفسهن على جاستين ماكارثى ، فأي امرأة لا تحلم بأن توقع بذلك الرجل الوسيم وتتنعم بثروته الطائلة !
تصور جاستين انه أمن تلك المضايقات ، عندما وظف راشيل سكيرتيرة خاصه لديه فهي امرأة عادية الجمال متحفظة ولا نية لديها في اغوائه إلى أن جاء ذلك اليوم ....
خلال رحلة عمل ساعدها لتتحرر من محنة تواجهها ، فتحرر جمالها وانطلق أمام ناظريه ، ولم يعد جاستين يكتفى برؤيتها جالسة بتحفظ خلف مكتبها ... لكن الوميض الغريب الذي يلمحه في عينيها يجعله يتردد قبل أن يدرج الحب فى جدول أعماله ! I was kind of surprised that I never read this novel before. It was definitely a decent read. I didn't like how rushed the ending was. I would of preferred it to be much more romantic. it was more sex between these two! i did not feel the love nor any connection between them. i much preferred the 1st book in the trilogy, "a secret vengeance" than this one. Really liked this book. At first I thought it'd be a rebound type thing but, it turned out well. Justin and Rachel suited quite well in most every aspect. Justin was in denial from the on set.... thinking he'd be able to have an affair, spending contless hours together and staying over on weekends without feelings getting involved. Brilliantly done! Third bk in the SECRET PASSIONS trilogy. The H/H from the second bk - The Secret Love-Child - show up quite a bit here. Best story in the trilogy is the second one but that's not saying much. Overall, far from Lee's best series.
This is the story of two losers nice people dumped by their evil exes who get together. One dumpee is fine but two makes for a whiny story IMO.

Tropes: Makeover, Boss/Secretary At Her Boss’s Bidding is the 63rd romance novel by Miranda Lee and the third of the Secret Passions series. When Rachel Witherspoon, Isabel Hunt’s best friend since school days, takes a job as Justin McCarthy’s PA, she purposely dresses down because she knows he’s sick of man-hunters throwing themselves at him. All goes well until they go together on a work-related excursion to a 5-star Gold Coast Hotel. There, Rachel runs into her ex-fiancé, Eric, the man who left her for a real-estate agent. Suddenly vulnerable, Rachel is given the support she needs by Justin, and he sends her for a make-over to prove to Eric that he’s the loser, not Rachel. But after a few drinks, Justin finds himself seducing his new PA, exactly the thing he was so disgusted with his ex-wife and her boss over. While some of the characters lack depth, the plot is quite good and it is another enjoyable romance from Miranda Lee. 3.5 stars.
If you like Miranda Lee, you'll like this one. Nothing that hasn't been done before; just romance that's written right. 3.6*
قراءتها تحت اسم سهام من حرير This was such a fun little read. Justin and Rachel are two very relatable characters, and it was refreshing to have a leading man who isn't a sex maniac or a multi millionaire or walking around all the time like an emo Mr Rochester. Justin is a decent man who works hard, respects women, and for a change treats his staff like human beings. He's also recovering from a bitter divorce, having been dumped by his ex-wife for a wealthier partner. Rachel has spent the last four years taking care of her foster mother, and recovering from being jilted at the altar. The story becomes a little predictable once they go on the trip, and of course there's the usual plot devices of a makeover and pretending to be lovers to make the exes jealous. Alls well that ends well though. Lee.is a very funny writer, and made this book very enjoyable. The only part I didn't like is the revelation that Rafe doctored the condoms on purpose to get Isabel pregnant. There's nothing romantic about that, it's sexual assault. And that is why I have to downgrade this book from a 5, to a 3. Justin McCarthy is a magnet for every man hunter in Sydney—they picture themselves spending his millions and cuddling up to him at night!
Rachel is Justin's idea of the perfect assistant. That is, until he pays for a complete makeover—one that unlocks the beauty within! Where once he was happy to have Rachel safely behind her desk, now Justin wants her across his—wild and willing. But then fantasy becomes reality, and Justin hasn't counted on love becoming part of his agenda!
