Hoodwinked (Men At Work #1) (1998) - Plot & Excerpts
I wanted a quick mindless read and that is what this book offered. But it was so cheesy. The young single secretary falls for the rich boss, only the boss has been away for a long time so no one really knows what he looks like. The boss goes undercover as a mechanic and that is how she falls for him. He reveals to her his true identity and they go for a ride in his rolls Royce, buy a 2 caret diamond ring, buy a big house complete with servants and have a baby. Most books don't have all this happen in 219 pages. It was an easy read. And I would say it was relatively pg on the love scenes. Not a whole lot of detail in there.
I picked up this book because my brother's an airplane mechanic, and I thought I'd send it to him for a laugh. First, though, I read the story.Helloooooo, alph-hole "hero." As readers of Smart Bitches, Trashy Books know, "alph-hole" is short for alpha-male asshole. And is Jake Edwards ever an alph-hole. He's verbally rude and mean, he creeps her out and stalks her, and he manhandles her whenever he starts to feel lusty. While he changes a bit by the end of the book, he's still 90% turd.Definitely not one of the better romances I've read.
