Married to the Boss

By: Lori Foster

Narrated by: Gina Cedarwood

Dana Dillinger had been R. J. Maitland's right hand for years - loyal, dependable, and hopelessly, secretly, in love with him. So when he popped the question to prove he wasn't the playboy the press labeled him, she accepted his "proposal". But where R. J. envisioned a marriage in name only, Dana refused to settle for anything less than his heart....

Some dangling major threads left

First of all, I loved the storyline and the seduction...but the problem resulting in the marriage was never resolved. Moreover that "problem" continued to be developed, throughout the text. It never came full circle, despite being given hints....and we were left hanging in the end...does this mean a sequel?

SPOILER-Great passion/horrible accents

Here is what I loved about the book: great chemistry between the two main characters and the premise is very fantasy like for quite a few women with 'the man she has secretly loved finally coming to his senses' aspect. I really liked the supportive family dynamic, the mom busting out the skank, and the banter from everyone in the book.

Here is what I really did not like: The southern accents. When I read a book where I know there is one I insert my own version on my head. I used to have a southern accent and over the years it has faded to nothing. But I have tons of friends and family still with the accent. The author enunciated ever single solitary word in a way that DRIPPED with the accent.
Then the vocabulary used by these people shows they are clearly educated. However, some of the words combined with the over the top accent made me laugh. I do not know one educated southern person who would say 'abdicated' and 'vicious insinuations' with an accent like they were from the backwoods of the Mississippi Delta. Also the way Dana kept saying his name, RJ, also with the dripping accent off each letter was annoying.

Also the female protagonist seemed to have buried her personality to please this man and she also seems to have buried any self esteem because of her mother abuse. However, the way it is written is like she is a child who is so over the top naïve that it is ridiculous. She is strong when she wants to stand up to RJ but she seems so helpless at times it pathetic. I understand that there is a fantasy of a man saving the seemingly helpless woman, but she then finds she is stronger that she thought, and the two build a partnership…but this went a little too far and felt a little insulting.

Overall I liked it quite a bit and would recommend it but beware of the accents!

okay book

Story was okay not her best book it had too many question left un answer

Could have been great.

This was a really good story, lost within a confusing jumble of incomplete backstories and side stories, and unresolved issues that seem to set up future stories but have very little to do with the main story and are just an annoying distraction. I don't recommend this one.
