From Back Cover

Nine-to-Five Fiancée Bubbly Flora Mason had had plans to temp and travel - her plans had not included being engaged to her sexy boss, Matt Davenport! But Flora had needed to save face with an ex-boyfriend and Matt had needed a temporary fiancée. So what if they were world apart? It was only going to be for two nights. But two nights turned into three, then four...and Flora soon realized that it wasn't just a temporary engagement she wanted, but a job for life!

Typical M & B but a most enjoyable one!

Having read numerous Mills and BOon novels, I would definitely agree that Temporary Engagment is so typical of all the stories. But this one is especially delightful because of the added male viewpoint from Matt Davenport. It allows us to see the story from two different viewpoints and urge us to flip the pages until the end. The male viewpoint definitely is an important factor in the 4 stars!

Delightful Office Romance

Matt Deveonport is the stereotypical successful business executive -- cold , hard, serious but deadly handsome. Flora is the temporary replacement of his Personal secretary. She was unlike all his employees who would quake and quiver in nervousness in front of him . Instead she was outspoken and impertinent, which was a refeshing experience for the almighty Matt. Unforeseen circumstances and mutual convenience made them agree to a charade to pose as a couple. Flora needed to show off Matt as her lover in order to save face in front of an ex-boyfriend. Matt needed her to pose as his wife in order to ward off the efforts of his desperate mother at match-making. They certainly never imagined that such strong chemistry and sexual attraction would develop between them. There are hurdles to overcome before the happy ending. The story is not original but the writing is good and full of sexual tension that keeps you turning the pages until the end.I think this book charming and enjoyable.
