Summary: Funny Book
Review: This a pretty good book, it's so funny, I think someone should have it in a stand-up act.
Yancie Dawkins a spoiled rich girl, who isn't really rich, takes on her first job since working for her loving step-father. A job her step-cousin Greville got for her since he is on the boss.
Yancie treats the limos, BMWs, and Jags as if they are hers, and she even runs arrands for other drivers, IN THE COMPANY CARS.
When she almost runs into the head of the company with one of his own cars, and treats him as if he was the one at faught, I laughed until I cried.
Thomson Wakefield is a VIP of the first water, and when this snip of a girl defies him at every turn, he finds it puzzleing, and interesting, Thomson seems to look on Yancie as 'OK what are you going to do next.' And she never dissappoints him.
Over and over he finds she is sweet, dumb, and innocent.
Yancie's mom is not a loving person, and the fact that she is so immature, makes life hard for Yancie. Ursula Proctor is a hoochy mama, of the upper crust.
And Yancie is so sure she is cursed with this gene, she loses a lot of her natural outgoing charm because she is so afraid if she is attracted to a man, she will go from man to man, like her mom, and aunts.
Yancie leads Thomson on a merry chase, trying to figure out who Graville is and why she doesn't want her mom to know she is working.
This book like most of Ms Steele's books is funny and full of true to life people, I personal know a woman that was very like Yancie, only she was my roommate. and poor. everything was our's, and her's. Would that Thomson had come to my rescue.
I also like Eva Rutland's books, and Susan Fox, Rebecca Winters, Helen Brooks, Diana Palmer, the late Essie Summers, and the late Betty Neels.

Summary: :|
Review: Yancie has never had a job before except cleaning her stepfathers house, but she loves her new job that her cousin helped her get as a driver. Yancie, however, does not seem to take her job seriously. She uses the car for her own personal interest while on and off the clock. Yancie never seems to see a problem with what she does, but her boss Thomson most certainly does. Yancie finds that the man drives her nuts, but she also finds herself attracted to him.The book seems one sided. It is told only from Yancie's perspective, so we never know what Thompson is thinking until the very end. This lets the reader really get to know her and I kept asking myself-Can this woman really be that stupid? Not only does she not take her job seriously, but she talks down to her boss and lies to him on a regular bases. I bought all three books in the series and they are all alike--the women characters come off as sassy and the men rich and powerful. The book was okay, but it could have been better.

Summary: The Feisty Fiancee
Review: Yancie is a self centered egotistical adolescent. She lies habitually, fails to exercise even a little self control over her mouth and displays no respect for the owner of the company she works for.
I would wonder at a man who is in a position of this type of responsibility falling for a young woman who behaves in such a juvenile manner. Wouldn't be buying stock in that company.
Our author tells a very one sided story. Thompson's thought and feelings don't seem to enter into the fabric of the tale until the very end.
Our author also fails to take care of the details. Such as quoting distances in miles rather than kilometeres. We are after all reading a story that takes place in and around London.
