Married to the Boss by Lori Foster

Rating: 4

Synopsis:

If he wanted a marriage of convenience, it would be at her convenience!

R. J. Maitland, President of Maitland Maternity, was forced to do some major damage control. The media circus surrounding allegations that he had fathered an abandoned child had left his reputation in tatters and the clinic in jeopardy.

Dana Dillinger had been R.J.’s right hand for years — loyal, dependable...and hopelessly, secretly in love with him. When he suggested that marriage was the best way to salvage the situation and prove he wasn’t the playboy the press had labeled him, Dana accepted his "proposal." With one exception...

R.J. wanted a marriage in name only — no sex, just marriage. Dana wanted all the marital rights of a bride — including and especially sex — or the deal was off. Between a rock and a hard place, R.J. agreed, not knowing what he’d just gotten himself into!

Review: I thought this book was adorably sweet. I actually would have enjoyed more meat on the bones of the story -- Dana's background and such. It was a pretty light read, though it has a mild emotional punch or two. I have never been crazy about the whole series by different authors idea -- there are more books about the other characters by other authors, and frankly, I would not run out and buy the other ones, though I am curious about how the loose end pans out in a later book. Oh well....
