I enjoyed the hell out of this book. After zooming through The Boss, I immediately opened this book on my Kindle and promptly read it. I began to invest in the characters, and think that by far, the strongest part of this installment in the series was Sophie's journey through Neil's treatments fo...
I have to say up front that I do not like reading erotica. Absolutely no offence to those who do, it's just not my thing. I bought and read The Boss series in order to support that author's pro-feminism anti-50shadesofgrey mission. I skipped over all the sex parts. So therefore I hope you'll appr...
It was Penny, calling me during work hours on a Wednesday afternoon. It wasn’t my first choice of time to receive a personal call, but for her, I could make an exception. I hit the green phone on the screen. “Do you know what else might be fun on Saturday? Bowling. There is a great bowling alley ...
It has a beautiful panoramic view and a canopied ceiling. It was like swimming in an event tent. Not as glamorous as some of the rooftop pools in the city, but there was never an attendant on duty, and in all the times I’d been there, I’d only seen three guests. We parked on the street. As we wal...
His tea had gone cold, his porridge sat untouched. He wondered if Jude woke her with kisses or if he had gone awkwardly to his own bed, as Esau had done. He didn’t know which he would prefer.Hadn’t this been what he’d wanted? He leaned his elbows on the table and propped his nose on his clasped f...
Leaving her had been the most difficult thing he’d done in his entire life. If he didn’t get himself under control, he would walk right back in and climb into that bed with her. She would change her mind about her silly virtue once he got his face between those plump thighs. &nb...
He'd had sushi delivered from some swanky catering place. My stomach had been growling all morning, and I wondered if our "friends" provision would cover me snatching and eating his entire lunch. At quarter to noon, he'd dumped a huge stack of letters on my desk and said, "I really need these to ...
When her brother did not immediately answer her, she stalked from the window over the courtyard to the other side of the tower, near the hearth. But not too near. If she felt too much of the heat upon her face, old burns protested in memory. She slipped a hand beneath her veil to feel the stiff s...
Viktor stood at the windows, watching the sun unroll its deadly blanket over the park. One morning. He’d had one morning after Cassandra had left. The sun had touched his skin, and he’d looked on it in wonder. He’d gone onto the terrace and felt the rays soak the early morning cold with warmth. T...
When he hadn’t shown up earlier, I’d assumed Antony had just gotten his package and figured that his wife had brought it inside. That had been a huge relief; I didn’t want to see him. What people did in their private lives was their business. I didn’t make it a habit to harshly judge anybody when...
The door in the rec room opened onto a huge white-washed deck that leaned over the steep embankment. The backyard was non-existent, Mitchell had explained, in order to keep their house as far from the road as possible. Through the trees, Sean could see the flicker of dark water, the lake he lived...
