What a terrific, insightful read! What prevented me from loving it was the naivety, fanciful beliefs of Winnie Graham about love and romance. Definitely a pie in the sky approach- a bit unrealistic. Her boss and the object of her affection, Morgan Grady, was practical, grounded. I could relate far better to him. Initially I felt Winnie too weak and immature, her expectations unrealistic; but I realized as the story progressed that holding to your convictions and not settling for less than you feel you deserve takes far more strength and passion than a 'reasonable" approach to relationships. Jane Porter touched my heart with the following excerpt, (I paraphrase): 'She'd found paradise, but she'd learned something about paradise. It wasn't a place or a concept or a man. It was just being okay with yourself. Not being so afraid of yourself. It's accepting the good with the bad and learning to accept others the same way'. Incredibly meaningful and something I'm working to achieve- "paradise". I shared the excerpt with three important people in my life who are striving to find this nirvana as well! We all appreciated her words! This is so much more than a romance novel! I strongly recommend it!

The Secretary's Seduction is about a smart, sweet, insecure executive assistant named Winnie who is in love with her gorgeous and successful boss, Morgan. Like Winnie, Morgan has his own demons to contend with. The problem is, he barely knows she exists. That's all I'm telling you about the story. YOU HAVE TO READ THIS ONE FOR YOURSELVES! I've read my fair share of romance novels over the years and thought that I'd found my top 3 favorites, but this one takes the cake! Jane Porter does an excellent job bringing these two characters to life and, eventually, together. I could not stop reading it after I'd finished! I read it almost 2 more times after that! Could not get enough of this one! Looooooved Winnie because I could relate to her on so many levels. Morgan is my kind of boss, and I would take dictation for him anytime!!!! Buy this one right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome book

THE SECRETARY'S SEDUCTION is one of my personal favorites by Ms Porter. From the beginning it sucks you in and won't let go until the final page. Morgan is rich, successful and he decides that Winnie would make the perfect wife. Winnie isn't exactly sure why Morgan would want to marry her, but he does his best to convince her.
A Must-Read!
