review 1: This was a random pick from the depths of my TBR (literally random, as in choosing a number with an online generator and seeing what it corresponded to on Calibre). It's (obviously) a Christmas story. Meg Jardine is billionaire William McMaster's Australian PA. She gets paid a really excellent (and much needed) salary for being completely at his beck and call and solving all his problems during the short periods when he's in Australia. The latest has fallen right before Christmas, and he's due to fly out to New York when disaster strikes. Air traffic controllers go on strike and there's no way to fly out. There are also no hotel rooms to be had in the whole city.Even though none of this is her fault, Meg feels she must come through with a solution to have any hope of keepi... moreng her job. The best she can come up with is to invite her boss to stay with her family over Christmas. There's an en suite room he can stay in and internet for him to work, and she promises no one will bother him. But all plans for a simple continuation of their 100% professional working relationship fall by the wayside almost immediately. The internet is down, Meg's grandmother refuses to countenance anyone referring to William as Mr. MacMaster and William finds himself learning more about Meg the woman and her family.This is a nice enough story, but I'm afraid I got very bored after the first third or so. I've read this so many times before. The rigid person who deals with any feelings in a completely dysfunctional way thrust into a situation where others won't respect those boundaries and so our stuffed-shirt character must adapt. I don't like this story very much, I'm afraid. I keep wanting to shout at the presumptuous characters: respect others' wishes!! If someone honestly doesn't want to join in with the cheer, don't try to force them to. But of course, it always turns out to be exactly what they needed, etc., etc. Plus, I'm SO over billionaire businessmen as romance heroes. Sorry, but no. Just no.MY GRADE: A DNF.
review 2: What a fun holiday book! Strong heroine, grouchy, sexy boss. Very emotional story and the heroine's family was awesome. I loved the heroine's grandmother and her brother. Loved the farm and Christmas in Australia. It was one of those romances you couldn't put down. Sweet, romantic, with characters who aren't perfect but who are perfect to read about. It made me feel warm and fuzzy inside, which is just how I like to feel this time of year. I highly recommend this book! less
