Joanne Crawford came back from vacation to find her well loved boss had sold his company to Hawk Mallen, a predictor of the first water. Only after talking to her very close friends Charles & Clare Brigmore and finding Charles had experienced a slight heart attack, and he wanted to spend the remaining years he had with his wife did Joanne except Hawk hadn't thrown Charles out on his ear. Then Hawk offered Joanne a sweet promotion, it wasn't until she got to France that she found Hawk had a little seduction in mind with the promotion. She soon set him straight on that subject. But Joanne soon learned Hawk was a deeply wounded man, and she couldn't resist being the one person in his life who would love him unconditionally. From the back of the book: 'Christmas with the boss! When Hawk Mallen took over the company Joanne worked for, it seemed he'd taken over her life, as well-expecting his new assistant to be at his command day and night! And when he offered Joanne a dream promotion, she realized she'd be at his side almost twenty-four hours a day... Working so closely with Hawk, Joanne found it hard to ignore how irresistibly sexy he was. She was determined not to have an affair with her boss, but what if Hawk wasn't just looking for a mistletoe mistress but a wife?'

Very romantic

One of the most romantic books I've read. Hawk is everything you'd want the hero to be, except that his proposition is lacking in the marriage department. Nevertheless he makes it very obvious from the start that he wants a commitment but doesn't believe in marriage, something he views merely as a legality, not necessarily more binding. Joanne, a virgin is independent, highly intelligent and successful. They sizzle. Great story.
Love heals.

When Hawk Mallen took over the company Joanne Crawford worked for as production assistant, she was incensed. When her resentment dies, she knows working with Hawk will be difficult to impossible. He wants a physical relationship, but doesn't believe in love, while Joanne has no intentions of giving herself to any man except in love.Well developed and reasoned out, this tale of two wounded individuals who learn to love is an absorbing read.
Mistletoe Mistress By Helen Brooks

The actress I have in mind as Joanne is Bridget Fonda. What I liked about Joanne was that she was a strong and independent woman, yet vulnerable and very innocent. She was a virgin. What I didn't like about Joanne was that she was not willing to take risks. She was a loner because of her past. My favorite scene with Joanne was when she was threatened and Hawk saved her and admitted his love for her. This begins on page 177.
