review 1: A good afternoon read, but had its ups and downs in the second half. The thing about the paintings was random and odd, and what I most enjoyed about the book---the quick wit and banter---was lost in the last quarter of the book. They BOTH kind of wimp out for a while. Good solid secondary characters added some charm, and the book had more sexy scenes (which I felt were well done) than usual from this line---mixed with solid chemistry for most of it. Overall a worthwhile, if one-time, read with me willing to give the author another try.
review 2: I first have to admit i rarely if ever read this type of romance. In fact i think it's the only second one i ever read. Mostly because i find these short ones not to be in my taste. "Playboy Boss, Live In Mistress" act... moreually wasn't that bad. In fact i really enjoyed it. It's not one that i'd read over and over again, but it was a good one time read. The thing that made it only a one time read was that once Sienna submitted to her attraction of child hood friend Lex the book got a bit sex filled and less story filled. Plus there were many elements that seemed to be just shoved in. There were many instances where i had to re-read a paragraph because it simply didn't make sense. I felt like a page was skipped in printing or something. Like one moment Sienna was talking about Lex, then money,and then some never before mentioned paintings made it way into the paragraph. It seemed like kelly though "hmm what does the story need. Oh i know. A mystery" and then proceeds to shove it into the story instead of progressing it in. In fact the whole "missing paintings" didn't even make one ounce of sense. I felt like our beagle puppy when she doesn't understand something "turning my head from side to side". The thing that made the book enjoyable was the abundance of brilliant one liners and paragraphs like {"Oh look. He'd found a flight attendant. Now he was smiling crookedly at the woman; murmuring to her. Now she was smiling back. Surprise surprise".} on page 18.Overall a 3 star. Nice story, but there was elements in it i didn't like. The story also became less of a story and more of a sex filled soap opera. less
