tsukikomew's review against another edition

Review posted @ http://tsukibooks.blogspot.com
This is one of those where I actually feel sorry for the heroine. She is stuck in rough place throughout the entire book and no one seems apologetic about it.
Damien is the efficiency fixer. He comes into a company and stream-lines it in order to make the company more efficient and possibly turn a profit. He comes into Megalos-De-Luca Enterprises to get revenge on the family at the head of the company for doing something to his grandfather years ago. Apparently it ruined the family or something.
Emma is assigned to be his assistant but is, of course, a double-agent. She is expected to get close to Damien and learn what he plans to do. Then she can report it to her bosses so they can prepare the company to either circumvent him or give-in. At the same time Damien expected to turn her onto his side and have her report against her bosses. The poor girl is stuck in the middle the entire time and no one seems to care.
Damien and Emma have an a pretty instant connection and they begin dancing around each other. Damien is a decent guy and Emma recognizes that as she gets to know him. At the same time she feels incredibly guilty about the deception she is a part of and often tries to distance herself. Of course Emma has a history of getting stuck in the middle of things. Her mother is addicted to gambling and of course Emma bails her out regularly. Clearly she is used to being put in the middle by those around her.
The story, overall, was a little lackluster. Clearly the misunderstanding was going to occur when he tried to take revenge on her bosses. She would then realize he was being nice to her to get information. Upset occurred and it was up to him to make it right. Oh and there was that bit about the mother relapsing and Damien helping her get into a rehabilitation center.
Either way it was a bit...boring as the book carried on. I was a little disappointed the possible intrigue and conversations about duplicity and deception were missing. It was another case of "I love you, I'm sorry" and then everything was okay.
