Shelley Schwartz works in her father's advertising firm -- sort of -- when she wants to. But after a heart attack, her father decides to sell the business to Shelley's nemesis in the office: Ross Morgan. She's determined to show them both that she can not only handle the job, but excel at it.

It would be a lot easier if she could keep her mind off Ross. Sexy, intense and driven, Ross thinks Shelley's a spoiled rich girl who doesn't deserve a chance to prove herself, but he'll give her enough rope to hang herself. And he won't pay any attention to the stirrings he feels whenever she's around.

HOSTILE MAKEOVER was a very fun read. Ms. Wax's characters are wonderful and the plot is both exciting and believable. I was rooting for Shelley throughout and hooting with laughter at her mother. This story was just as much fun as Wax's previous work, LEAVE IT TO CLEAVAGE, and I can't wait to read her next novel.

Book Summary

It was the first orgasm Shelley Schwartz ever faked. She swore she’d never do it, but she was late for a career-saving meeting at Schwartz and Associates and her options were limited.

If she’d faked it five minutes sooner, she might have earned her father’s approval, won the account, and bested her rival and the company golden boy, Ross Morgan.

Calm, cool, and always collected, Ross is the perfect person to take over the ad agency her father founded—and the perfect opposite of Shelley, who’s distracted by her mother’s relentless matchmaking and her big sister’s marital meltdown. Is it any wonder her father has entrusted the agency to the blond, Porsche-driving Ross rather than his own flesh and blood?

To add insult to injury, Ross—her new boss—has stuck Shelley with the client list from hell (Falafel Hut, anyone?). But if he thinks he’s going to chase Shelley Schwartz out of her family legacy, he’s got another thing coming. And if Shelley thinks she can resist Ross’s charms, she’s got some surprises in store as well...
