BLURB
Don't miss the hot new romantic comedy follow-up to the smash hit The Negotiator...
Hot, filthy rich, and usually irresistible, Hudson Carlyle just met the one woman in Harbor City who’s immune to his legendary charm. Nerdy ant researcher Felicia Hartigan is the unsexiest dresser ever. She trips over air. And she’s in love with totally the wrong man. Hudson can’t stop thinking about her.
His regular moves won’t work here. He’s going to need a new plan, starting with helping her win over the man she thinks she wants. And if in the process she ends up falling for Hudson instead? Even better. Step one, charm her panties off. Step two, repeat step one as frequently as possible.
But what if the famous Carlyle charm finally fails him when he needs it most? Or worse, what if she figures out the one secret he’s kept from everyone, including his family, and walks away for good?
sure to be a run on ottomans in your town.
My Review
So
eager to read this follow-up to The Negotiator (my first ARC & blog
review), I'll admit to not taking a look at the blurb first. Such a huge
fan of the first book, I of course had very high hopes for the second
one. So I dove right in... only to discover that one of the main
characters is in fact, a honeypot ant researcher. At that, I found
myself doing one of those nervous laugh giggle things people do when they
are a little thrown & a lot worried. So here it is folks –
shooting from the hip on this one…
Told
in third person, from dual points of view, this story has it all. Funny as in laugh out loud “If we’re gonna do this, it has to be like
prison visiting hours. No touching.”, charming, & twelve-alarm fire hot
– as in “…cheeks pink from a
wake-up-the-neighbors orgasm?” yes! Complete
with double life secret identities, super awesome nicknames, two master plans
to bring people together to get what they’ve always wanted, a “tell-it-like-it-is kind of woman” after
my own heart “Ramble? Her? Never.” &
a man so sexy his “ability to charm the
females of the world extends to cats,”. This is an opposites attract romance until it’s
not…full of emotion, desire & hope. Be
prepared to get choked up more than once, especially by a surprisingly goose
bump moment at the end. You’ll find
honesty & depth, strong friendships & family bonds among all of the sweet
& sultry charm in this perfect addition to the Harbor City series.
Again
with the funny, witty & sarcastic dialogue I can’t get enough of. And these characters! The family bonds in this story are wonderful,
for me particularly the one between Hudson & his mom – so heartwarming! I love Felicia, a Charmer proof woman, who owns
her nerd & talks with her hands. And how Hudson has so much passion, & never
puts himself first, adore him. The heat,
did I mention the leave you speechless hot-wow they have going on? Let me just say, I never would have guessed that
by the end I would be talking to my husband about buying an ottoman for the
living room.
