The Case of the Missing Secretary
|
The Case of the Missing Secretary by Diana Palmer.
THE PINING PRIVATE EYE.
Kit Morris would simply quit and let financial wizard Logan Deverell see for himself just how far his Midas touch took him ... without a secretary! For three years she'd kept his books, losing her head over one singularly stubborn financial figure--Logan himself! If he was too proud to sense the sparks, Kit had a mind to make him sense their absence!
How was a respectable businessman supposed to react when his missing secretary turned up working for a private eye? Sure, Logan was miserable. But he couldn't ask Kit to come back to work when every inch of him wanted her--for play!

Kit got fired from her job as Logan's secretary two weeks ago because of comments she made about his fiancée, Betsy. Kit knows that Betsy ruined a man, taking him for all he was worth and doesn't want that to happen to Logan, the fact she's in love with him doesn't make her any more objective about the whole situation. Now Logan realizes how good he had it with Kit and wants her back, but she wants no part of it, and so begins a tale of malevolent children, wedding hungry men, sex obsessed bosses and white wedding virgins.
I honestly can't begin to describe just how truly awful this book it. The plot is utterly ridiculous, the worst being Logan's young cousin's who kidnap, assault and vandalize the property of anyone brave enough to come on their property, while their father asks every woman he meets to marry him, to get someone to raise the children (read demons), he ignores. Then there's Logan, a MASSIVE jerk who doesn't think there is anything wrong with sleeping with Kit while engaged to Betsy because he's only marrying Betsy because she won't put out anyway. Once he finds out Kit loves him he uses her feelings to try to get her to sleep with him even thought she is a never been touched virgin, and he doesn't even have a twinge of continuous about having an affair with her when he's committed to someone else because it wouldn't be some cheap one night stand because he needs more time than that before he was ready to move on, Kit's feelings be damned. Not to mention he kept an apartment just to screw women in and that was the only place he ever took Kit, yeah, real classy. And finally there's Kit who is just about every spunky virgin heroine cliché combined into one annoying character.
I am not what you would call a Diana Palmer fan but I have read a book or two by her before and they were fine, I didn't love them but I sure didn't hate them. This was a joke. The heroine is treated like crap by Logan, despite all their blow out fights, all he has to do is snap his fingers and she comes running to him.
I can't even begin to describe how horrible this is. Maybe as some kind of spoof of a secretary/boss romance this would work but this is supposed to be serious. I'm sorry but I just hated it.
1 star.
