review 1: In Not Just The Boss's Plaything the heroine, Alicia literally falls into Nikolai in a club, and goes to bed with him as soon as they meet (what's the hurry?). Alicia is complex having a terrible opinion of herself. She had had sex with the married man - father-of-three, btw! The hero, Nikolai also has a self-image problem and he basically feels he is devoid of emotion and is highly sexual. These two do not express feelings well and the books just lack warmth and emotion. Did not even bother to finish this book. When I try to read recently published Harlequin romances, then the authors seem to have lost their zest for love and romance - HPs are so cold and unemotional. Too much telling rather than showing, lack of dialogue, unlikeable characters. The books are so boring an... mored wasting of money!Try Linda Howard, Karen Rose, Kay Hooper, Diana Palmer instead!
review 2: I won this book in a Goodreads first-reads contest.This book contains two novels: Not Just the Boss's Playting and A Devil in DisguiseNot Just the Boss's Plaything: Has interesting and fascinating characters; an intense, edgy and passionate plot. It is the main reason I give this book a rating of 4 stars as I liked this novel much more than the 2nd one.A Devil in Disguise: It has an appropriate title, as the main male character is a selfish asshole who has no redeeming qualities until the last chapter; I really hated him. And I could not relate to the main female character; I just could not understand her. This book was not romantic enough for me.So I would highly recommend the first story but not the second. less
