I think the heroine could have gone on and on goading the hero, but the author ran out of page count. What began so spectacularly ended in a whimper. The H/h finally call a truce while they are babysitting their big name stars on location in the North of England. He was angry - but he wasn't hurt like the heroine was and I wanted him to *hurt.* (If I'm wrong on this, I don't want to be right.) Alas, she kept succumbing to the hero's kisses and the hero never bled out from the superficial wounds she inflicted. Heroine is beyond angry and the rest of the story is the heroine setting up a rival agency and doing everything she can to feel better and to make the hero feel worse. Hero takes no responsibility for his part in the affair - but he is willing to set the heroine up for a dead-end job with a voice-over company and then they can continue their affair with no strings attached, of course. Yes, my jaw dropped along with the heroine's. The story opens with the hero firing the heroine for having a weekend fling with him when they were on location in Tahiti. But her fiance jilted her while working abroad and over the years the heroine has developed a crush on the hero. When she was hired, she had a fiance and wasn't concerned about the boss's reputation. Heroine works for him and knows his cardinal rule that he will never date someone who works for him. The talent agency owner "hero" is called Mr Loverman because he dates and discards many, many women. Oh, boy - this is a fun revenge-by-heroine tale.
