A cute holiday romance.
A chance kiss on a scary elevator ride leaves Wendy's world shaken up. She had been all business lately--no time for fun. But her roommates could see that this kiss had brought a new spark to their friend. Wendy had left her job as a set designer for community theater to work for a star in the interior design world, hoping to advance her own career. But her boss, Miss Hall, is demanding, self centered, and unscrupulous. Wendy is called upon at all hours to fulfill Miss Hall's every whim. Now this mysterious man who kissed her as the elevator seemed to have doomed them to perish together, has breathed fresh life into her heart. Problem is, Wendy was rather disguised when the kiss took place, so he would not recognize her, and she has no idea who he is.
One day his identity is revealed and Wendy must work closely with him while he has no idea who she is. Her roommates want her to tell him, but she can't bring herself to do it.
Meanwhile, things with her boss are going from bad to worse. Wendy receives an ultimatum that could ruin her chances of ever being hired in her chosen field without leaving town.
A fun plot where you are cheering on the "good guy" and booing the mean boss, much like a melodrama. The roommates are quirky, with good hearts, and the leading characters are well played.
I enjoyed the story, but for me it was marred by the language--mostly what we refer to at our house as potty language. Unnecessary crude words that slipped occasionally from a character's mouth. It wasn't frequent, but it needn't have happened at all. On top of that, there was a tendency to profane the Lord's name. Sad to me, because all of that could have been omitted and this would have been a really fun chick flick with nothing to complain about.
