Book Review By Jess
Dangerous Magic by Jayne Ann Krentz

Elissa Sheldon is enraged when her new boss accuses her of sleeping her way up the corperate ladder. The situation becomes even worse when he tells her that it was him she'd have to sleep with if she ever wanted to advance in her career. Wade Taggert virtually blackmails Elissa into dating him, and after a while Elissa is more than happy to go along with his plans.
Elissa is begining to develop some plans of her own. She is out for revenge against Wade, and won't stop until she has him on his knees and humiliates him infront of everyone. Her plan is to make him fall madly in love with her so that he proposes, and then to throw his proposal back in his face and quit her job, proving that she isn't willing to sacrifice her body and her dignity for her career.
Things start to go terribly wrong for Elissa when she finds herself not only enjoying Wade's company, but also falling in love with him. He understands her like no one else ever has, and is everything she ever wanted in a husband. But will he stay with her when he discovers that she has only been dating him out of revenge?
