Closing the Deal by Marie Harte was such a good read & it packed in lots of heat and steam as well! *fans self*The sexual tension in this book was off the charts!! Derrick and Sydney definitely had some great chemistry going on. Derrick was charming and sexy as hell doing whatever it took to pursue Sydney. Sydney was aloof and a mouthy woman who kept Derrick on his feet throughout the story, but she eventually came around. I happily cheered for these two and couldn't help, but smile when Sydney finally said the three words to Derrick.I also enjoyed the interactions between Derrick, his brothers and his mother which had me laughing out loud several times. The storyline was easy to follow and the romance was hot. This was definitely a fun & entertaining read. Without a doubt, I will be reading more from this author. I really enjoyed this one. I loved Syd...loved her stubborness, strong personality, independence, and sense of humor, yet she was very vulnerable thanks to her mother. Derrick was a great match for her. He was strong/alpha, sweet, patient, funny, and intelligent. He also didn't take her s**t. I think my favorite part of this story though was the interactions between the brothers and the family in general, as well as the humorous power struggles between Syd and Derrick. I'll definitely be reading more of Marie Harte (and I hope Dylan gets his story too!).
What do You think about Closing The Deal (2011)?
I'm a big Marie Harte fan. Once again a great read.
