Boss blackmails/coerces his secretary to pose as his wife.
You can read the GR blurb, but the reviews claim this book stinks,
Not so fast.
Yes Cormac is a silly name, and yes he is the worst Hero ever,
But he is consistent, there is no sudden transformation...
same for the woman, Lizzie.
Oh, what a doormat, she doesn't suddenly grow a spine on page 39 either,
Fool me thrice, so not nice, over and over again.
THAT's exactly why this book - is both a "Do Not Read", and a definite "must read."
