The reason I love this story so much is because I wanted pure fantasy mixed with humor. This story is light and fun to read. I LOVE how the heroine makes the hero so baffled and frustrated with her "antics" that it was hilarious and definitely one of my many favorites. Alpha Male? Definitely yes Faithful? 100% YES Favorite? I read it over and over so many times
Hot and enjoyable

The dynamics between Marcus and Harriet are incredible. They definitely have the chemistry, and there are some very hot scenes. Harriet has decided to go blonde and remake herself in order to turn her life around. She associates "blonde" with assertiveness and desirability, and hopes that by creating the image, she will become the image she wants to be. Marcus, on the other hand, has a poor impression of blondes from past experiences, and tries his best to dissuade her. What follows is a humorous and rocky romance. Some parts may seem a bit unrealistic, but Harriet does not turn into a "blonde" overnight. Thankfully, the author keeps her in character. Though Harriet acts and the part of a floozy blondie, she does not suddenly let go of all her inhibitions. The ending was a definite surprise, and I finished the book with a smile on my face. I will definitely keep an eye out for more of Susan Napier's books (and search out her backlist).

[...]. This story is very good. It really heats up at page 134. Whew, wow and hot. Strong and likable hero(Marcus), but at times I had to wonder about the heroine (Harriet). That's why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. I realize she strongly needed to change her life/image but trying to have serial/promiscuous sex just didn't ring true. It's not as bad as it sounds, cause she never really gets to do it, but it just didn't mesh with her character. Interesting and hot read. Try it.

I enjoyed this book. from the back cover:Behaving badly...Harriet attended the company's New Year's Eve party in all innocence. It wasn't her fault that the punch she'd been drinking was stronger than expected, so that she ended up confiding in a gorgeous stranger about her broken engagement. How was she to know she'd been pouring her heart out to the chairman himself, Marcus Fox? ...at the office party!Now Harriet has to work with Marcus. Luckily, she's since changed her image, dyed her hair blond and is a model secretary. Unluckily, Marcus still recognizes her and seems determined to punish Harriet for her reckless conduct!
