The Work Wife was a completely entertaining and wonderful romance and I look forward to reading this author again. ~ Slick, Guilty Pleasures
Blurb:
From boardroom to bedroom…
Jamie Witmer recognizes a good thing when she sees it, whether it’s the elegant buildings she helps design, or her effortless working relationship with her partner, Weston Archer. But being the top team at their Boston firm doesn’t get Jamie and Wes invited to the couples-only bonding retreats and deluxe marital getaways. So Jamie has an idea—she and Wes will become married friends with (company) benefits…
Wes has been attracted to Jamie since she walked into his life five years ago, and her crazy plan has opened up all kinds of new possibilities. Fake marriage leads to even closer contact. Contact leads to temptation. And when they finally act on all that heat, the passion is more intense than even Wes could have imagined…
They say if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. But now that their friendship is irrevocably changed, it might be time for something even sweeter to begin…
I’m always a little nervous when I read a new to be author, but I can honestly say I thoroughly enjoyed The Work Wife by Allison B. Hanson. Long term co-workers agree to a marriage of convenience in order to get ahead with an influential client in this sweet, funny, and romantic love story.
Jamie Witmer and Weston Archer has been work partners for years and complement each other perfectly at the design firm where they work, consistently in the number two team spot, Jamie wants that number one spot and she is will to do most anything to get it including a fake marriage to Weston in order to go to a married partners vacation knowing an important client will be there as well. Jamie was dedicated, spunky, and determined and while Weston was a bit of an enigma for a good part of this book but it was obvious he would go to great lengths to help Jamie achieve her goals.
I enjoyed this couple quite a bit and it was easy to see from the start they shared a special friendship yet there was still so much about one another they didn’t know. It was interesting watching them navigate the relationship waters once they were “married” especially when dealing with Jamie’s father and their co-workers. There were quite a few ups and downs and even a quite devious plot to come between them and while some mistakes were made through it all the strong foundation they had from the start proved invaluable time and time again.
The Work Wife was a completely entertaining and wonderful romance and I look forward to reading this author again.
