The field of wealthy businessman-dom, who is handsome and has a huge wank, novels is so crowded that one has to be really special to rise above the rest. King is not special. The author brings nothing new or interesting to a story line that has been done so often it should be considered a sub-genre. I started skimming as early as 20%.The heroine is at the same time both strong and irritatingly weak. I completely lost respect for her when she begged on her knees for King not to leave her after giving him an ultimatum and saying she deserved better.I borrowed this through Prime. Glad I didn't pay for it.***ADDENDUM***This novel is supposedly set in London, however all the characters in the story speak like Americans with an occasional British colloquial expression thrown in. There is nothing in the descriptions of place settings that gives one the feeling of being in the beautiful and distinctive old city. It could very well be any generic American city.
