review 1: I have not been able to find the list of books stating that this book is part of a series. I do know that this is a follow up book, from Detective Daddy by Mallory Kane. Both books were really good. The Kendall family is a close bunch. Their parents were murdered when they were little. In the book Detective daddy we found out Ash grew up to be a cop. Their parent’s murder was never solved. With every case that Ash solves, he knows he is helping other families. Natalie is the youngest. Devin, and Ash are both very protective big brothers. Detective Daddy ended with the parent’s murder case being re-opened. The person that had been found guilty was found innocent many years later, and was exonerated. He was released from jail. A short while later, he was murdered.Engage... mored with the Boss picks up, with the Kendall family being thrust in the spot light. They had to fight against reporters, threats, and someone stalking Natalie. The action, and romance between Devin, and Jolie heats up. Jolie has been his executive assistant for six years. The first time they shared a kiss, or heated up the sheets, a reporter snaps a picture of Jolie leaving Devin’s apartment. Devin didn’t want the world to look down on Jolie. He came up with a plan, to tell the world that he and Jolie were engaged. Jolie had secretly been in love with Devin for years, so it was not hard for her to pretend to love him. Devin, and Jolie became closer as they went through break in’s, explosions and other threats against them. I love this action packed romance! The banter between all the characters was really good. There were also a few funny moments in the story. The case was never solved, so there may be another book. I would like to see a book about Natalie. Sample from chapter: “I don’t deserve you, Jolie. I don’t know how to go about this properly and I know it’s not for real, but here goes.” He dropped to one knee and held her hand in his, the ring poised in front of her ring finger. He stared up into her eyes, feeling as if the world had ground to a halt waiting for hat was next. His tone low, his words soft and insistent, he spoke, “Jolie Carson, will you wear this ring and be my fake fiancée?” Sample from chapter 11What makes a good marriage work? Is love enough?” “I think so. I’m marrying Rachel, aren’t I?” “But is it enough to keep a marriage together even after the lust wears off?” “I believe a good marriage can be fun, but is like a garden that must be worked to maintain its health. You know, you reap what you sow.
review 2: In Elle James' romantic suspense novel, the unsolved Christmas Eve murders loomed over the Kendal family. When eldest son Devin is caught in a compromising situation with his executive assistant Jolie Carson, to prevent a scandal he decided they should pose as an engaged couple so the press would leave her alone and the family could help with the investigation. Jolie has secretly been in love with her boss for years and agreed to the ploy. But someone was after the Kendal family and the fake engagement placed Jolie in the position of next victim. A phenomenal addition to the Situation: Christmas series. less
