Sarah Daly has just landed the job of her dreams. She has struggled long and hard, caring for an ailing mother with her other siblings and attending school to achieve her degree. Now she has landed the job that will help her to start paying her part of the debt that is owed for school and her mother's hospital bills. Only one thing stands in her way and that is her new boss Mr. Elan Al Mansur. He has decided that she is too young to handle the job and he wants her gone. Now.
Elan Al Mansur has had his fill of lovely women throwing themselves at him. He doesn't see what the attraction is other than his money and he is tired of it. He is use to being on his own and lost the ability to believe in love long ago when his father sent him off to boarding school in a country far from home. Now he lives in America having left his old life and country behind long ago. He wants a competent assistant who can do the job without putting the moves on him. Sarah is too young, too appealing, and the last thing he wants is a complication.
But complications are definitely coming up for these two. Both feel the sexual pull and chemistry can be hard to fight. When the ultimate occurs and they finally give in to their desires it is only the beginning.
Although I found this book to be predictable of the typical Silhouette book it was still a good read. Sarah is a very strong female lead and Ms. Lewis brought her to life beautifully. It was easy to feel for her and wish for the best. The character of Elan was portrayed as the tortured soul who longs for love but has learned through his life experiences not to count on it. There were some parts that I had trouble with since he is supposed to be such a wealthy influential man but I chose to give the author the benefit of the doubt. The Boss's Demand is a solid romance that is sure to do well with Silhouette's faithful masses. 3.5 out of 5 Quills.
