What I liked:
I loved the interactions between Jocelyn and Lucas after his accident. I really got the sense that they made a good team and would have a good marriage. I also felt that Jocelyn had a good reason to lie about the marriage and even a good reason to keep the deception going. I would give this part of the book 5 stars.

What I didn't like:
After reading the prologue and 1st chapter my thought was, "What? Are these two still in Junior High School?" They both are very attracted to each other (and NOT just in a sexual way) yet after six months neither of them has done the first thing about it. My biggest problem was Jocelyn's decision to resign with no explanation rather than be blackmailed. That made absolutely no sense! If she is leaving anyway there is no more harm done if she tells Lucas how she feels. At the very least she should tell him about his step brother plotting against him. And Lucas's reaction to her resignation was so stupid and immature. Fortunately for the book, The personalities of the two main characters improve 100% after the accident. Although Jocelyn continue to stupidly hide the actions of his step brother from Lucas.
All in all, I felt this book wasn't bad.

Jocelyn is Lucas' assistant who likes her boss. While out on business in Buffalo Lucas is hit and needs emergency surgery. Jocelyn does not want his half-brother or step-mother who hate him knowing about this so she tells the doctors that she is his wife.

Lucas makes out Ok in the operation, but he has amnesia-so he does not remember that he and Jocelyn are not really married.

Jocelyn wants Lucas to recover where his half-brother wont know so she takes him to a mountain retreat. Lucas and Jocelyn spend a couple of days in peace, but then his brother comes up looking for revenge.
