I was lucky to get an advance copy of The Job Proposal by Wendy Chen and enjoyed the quick summer read. The main character Kate has figured out how to think like a man - lots of one night stands with no long term romances so she won't get hurt, work long hours, no friends at work and concentrate on her career. A lonely life but she is hoping this strategy will help her in the long run with career advancement. When it becomes evident Kate needs a finance to help her career, she finds the perfect man for her fiance' who needs a green card. When her best friend from high school comes to visit Kate, her views on life, career, and romance begin to slowly change. This was a good read - great way to spend a lazy summer day! I'd give it 4 stars - fun read!
Book Description - Amazon:
All's fair in love and work.
Kate is enjoying being engaged—that it's a hoax is beside the point. To succeed at her ultra-conservative finance job she needs to reform her flighty, party-girl reputation, and a good old fashioned marriage of convenience is exactly what she needs to put her one step closer to the promotion of her dreams. But when Adam, Kate's best friend from high school, arrives for a visit, her perfect arrangement suddenly isn't so perfect anymore.
The nerdy boy she remembers from her teen years has grown into a gorgeous and successful man, and he's vying for her affection. Soon all the things Kate thinks she wants will change, and everything she doesn't know she needs, she may not be able to live without.
But will she be able to let down the walls she’s built to guard her heart and trade her fierce independence for love?
