Never Naughty Enough

“She is driving me insane,” is the thought that keeps running through the mind of Wagner Achrom every time he looks at his executive assistant, Annabelle Scott. He can’t fathom why suddenly he can think of nothing except what she is – or is not – wearing beneath her sweater and too short skirt. What is the deal with the sweater and short skirt anyway? She usually wears ankle length skirts and boxy jackets. Who knew that his very capable and skilled assistant was hiding the body of a goddess? Unfortunately, it is a distraction that he cannot afford. Several years ago he left his position as a corporate raider for an investors group to start his own business and is now on the threshold of a merger that will put him back on top of the corporate ladder. Annabelle, however, has plans for her own takeover . . . of his body.

Annabelle has been in love with Wagner almost since she began working for him four years ago. He ignored the scandal involving her father and gave her a job when no one else would even talk to her. He not only gave her a job, he helped her to regain her self-respect. She is only weeks away from attaining her college degree and knows that her time with Wagner is limited. She is sick and tired of waiting for him to notice her so she decides it is time to take action. She gets some help in her seduction from her wild side when she lets an acquaintance hypnotize her; strictly to prove that she cannot be hypnotized, or can she?

Jill Monroe’s debut book is a pure delight. Annabelle and Wagner both have a lot of issues to deal with because of things that happened with their fathers. This common ground they share adds a lot of depth to the story and makes the intense emotion between them more special and believable. The hypnosis adds a bit of humor and a lot of “heat” to this Temptation. Jill Monroe is definitely a name that I will be looking out for in the future and I am proud to present her with five angels to help launch her writing career.
