THE HERO. . .
Marcus Maitland, your usual harlequin tycoon. A bit ruthless but not too
much. Arrogant, yes, as always from most of hero. Too quick to accuse Kit to be
the traitor when there was just circumstatial evidence. But I guess Kit’s
reluctant to reveal the reason why she was in the Marcus’s rival’s office is
just adding to Marcus’s suspicion. I’m also a bit confused with his act in the
end of the story. Why did he left after promised to be by Kit’s side, to help
her go through her mother’s surgery? If he had to think about the fact that Kit
is related to his rival, it’s hardly relevant anymore especially after the said
rival reveal her story.
THE HEROINE. . .
Kit McGuire, Marcus’s personal assistant (obvious from the title :D). I
don’t hate her but I’m not fond of her either. I can’t really get the reason
why she avoid getting close to Marcus. I mean, she doesn’t have bad example from her parents, in fact her parents
are obviously have a really happy marriage. Okay, maybe at first because she
was afraid that Marcus is like her previous boss, but over time she know better
than that. So why still avoiding him when it’s so obvious they attracted to
each other? She can’t insecure about her appearance, because she describe
herself as attractive. In fact it’s bordering on narcissistic the way she
describe herself (the book is kinda in Kit’s point of view, so it’s like
hearing how she describe herself).
THE STORY. . .
Because of bad experience with her previous boss, Kit McGuire disguise
herself with a no-nonsense attire. But when she had to go away for business
with Marcus, she had to shed the disguise. Well, as we can guess, the attraction
is volcanic after that. The story idea is good enough for me. But the narration
is meh. When I read this book, so often my mind is start wandering because I
can’t grasp what the author trying to tell, so I had to reread the previous
pages. Maybe this is a spoiler, but I don’t think Marcus is in the fault to
doubt Kit, because Kit keep the secret too much. How can you trust someone when
they can’t even trust you with their secret, right? One plus point for this
book, there aren’t unnecessary sex scene.
THE QUOTE. . .
‘If you tell me to go away,
to stay away—If you turn me away, Kit, I will still love you. And go on loving
you. Always.’
Marcus Maitland
