Book Blurb:
Everyone knows not to mix business and pleasure. Don’t they?
Entrepreneur Ryan Michaels never loses. Well, except that time, a few years ago when he lost a promotion to spoiled rich girl, Charlotte “Charlie” Ray. Now he’s forced to hire his nemesis to secure funding to develop a string of luxury boutique hotels. Not only does she not fit his corporate vision, but she’s too damn attractive for her own good. And his.
Working as VP of Sales and Marketing for a luxury hotel is Charlie’s dream job. Too bad her boss is Ryan Michaels, the same pompous stick-in-the-mud that she remembers. If he tells her that this project is his legacy one more time, she might scream. Or maybe kissing him will get him to shut up?
Because that’s the other thing. The sizzling attraction between Ryan and Charlie is impossible to ignore. But everyone knows not to mix business and pleasure. Don’t they?
My Review:
You never mix business with pleasure… said no one who’s ever been around Ryan Michaels. Charlotte ‘Charlie’ Ray works hard, harder than most to overcompensate for her family’s money. Teaming up with arrogant Ryan Michaels isn’t her dream, that is until he hires her for his new project, a line of boutique hotels. If she hears him utter the word legacy one more time, she’ll throw him in the Pacific. Kissing him? Well, that’s okay, if it’ll keep his viper words from leaving his mouth. Passion heats up between them and Charlie’s left wondering how this will look on her resume. She must end this before it overtakes them both. But she can’t seem to stop. One thing’s for sure: fireworks make for interesting bedmates but she’s not positive the same can be said for love.
