***3.5 Stars***

This was a good read but I did get frustrated that the hero always chose to believe his lying conniving assistant (OW) rather than his wife who loved him and only wanted the best for him. That did leave a bad taste in my mouth and happened all the way throughout the book but other than that it was a decent read.

OW EVIL personified. Offenses: Put a bug in the H/h car. Told heroine lies about her husband. Told wife they were presently having an affair behind her back. She would try and convince hero that his wife was crazy or hormonal that she was insanely jealous. OW Fabricated mistruths, well, just plain old lies says it better, about the wife to make her less and less appealing over time. What made this more difficult is that the OW was a family friend of the hero's and he had known her all his life, trusted her implicitly when, in fact, she did not deserve any trust at all. On top of that - right before he met the woman he married he was having a sexual affair with said OW. It was short and without emotions. In fact he put an end to the brief affair when he first laid eyes on the woman who would become his wife.

It was a good read but I won't put myself through it any longer. The heroine was absolutely broken-hearted all throughout the book until the last few pages. Hero was an idiot who ALWAYS chose the OW's side over his wife. ALWAYS!!! No matter what really happened. The OW was so darn smug and felt she had the H around her little finger. The wife felt the same way. She knew she came in second to the OW. Horribly sad for this reader.

Let me say there is no way I would tolerate and ex lover being my spouse's Personal Assistant!! No way...no how! That is a recipe for disaster!
