Not for me...At all. Erotic romance not my type of book but I'll allow you the opportunity to make your own judgement. The main character, Grace, is a young intern working for Huntington Ventures. From the moment the plane lands in England, she screws up: she wrongly perceives Jonathan Huntington, the billionaire owner and founder of the company, as her ride to her future workplace. This was a good start, it was humourous.
But afterwards, I just didn't buy it: at the company she meets a bubbly, cheerful junior assistant who warns her about Jonathan. But, it doesn't matter much anyway, it's not as if she's directly working for him....That's until she does. An intern is randomly given the opportunity to be an assistant of the Company's founder. That doesn't just happen...And I understand the confusion of everyone else but why do they not voice their concerns? Grace is told that Jonathan is dangerous, but then why doesn't anyone prevent him from working with a young woman- from her naivety, it's safe to assume that she must be a young girl. I couldn't stand the story. After skipping so many pages, I just gave up. I lost interest quickly.
I'm not a fan of alpha males brooding on vulnerable women. And then, having the young women think they can change the guy. Really, it seemed like a contemporary version of Beauty and the Beast. I never did find out why the man was so dangerous, and right now I can't care less. Just not the book for me...
I received this book through NetGalley.
