1.0 out of 5 stars Needed a story for the readers to care about..., October 11, 2010

By 

Joel B. Kirk (Bay Area, CA, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Boss's Christmas Proposal (Silhouette Special Edition) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is the story of Kimi Taka, a gorgeous Japanese girl who grew up in a wealthy family, and Greg Sherman, a Caucasian man who is the manager of a Taka Hotel in Tokyo, Japan.

When Kimi pleads to her father to allow her some responsibility, she is given the opportunity to 'work' and earn respect. However, Greg looks down on Kimi because he feels she never had to work for anything.

He begins to fall for her in the course of the book, but pushes her away metaphorically because his disdain arises; there is also a point in the book where he and Kimi are to kiss, but he again pushes her away because of his disdain.

This is the conflict in the book.

While Kimi is trying to prove her worth or at least show that she is responsible and money doesn't define her, she is waiting for a man (the aforementioned, Greg Sherman) who seems to have some emotional issues; a man who doesn't know what he wants. I was asking, 'Why is Kimi wasting her time?'

There weren't any real stakes. It got to the point to where I was asking 'Why am I supposed to care about these characters?'

Moreover, there needed to be substance to the characters and situation, where it is primarily a case of the exotic Asian female who is desired, or happens to desire the white male hero.

I grew to like this hardworking young girl as she just never gave up on her desire to succeed in her work and graduate also much to the surprise of her family.
