An uplifting, compelling and irresistible contemporary romance I devoured in a single sitting, For His Eyes Only is the fabulous new novel by much-loved award-winning author Liz Fielding!Natasha Gordon might only be in her twenties, but this ambitious country girl has managed to climb up the career ladder, and in a short space time, became one of London’s leading estate agents. Natasha spends most of her days finding the latest desirable property for her bulging portfolio of millionaires and celebrities, who have come to rely on her services to find them the house of their dreams. Having her heart set on making partner at her firm, Natasha is already planning her next career move, however, she’s in for a nasty shock when her boss sacks her with immediate effect! An advert for Hadley Chase, a lavish country estate, had gone to print in one of the country’s most popular magazines riddled with jaw-dropping errors and contemptible mistakes. Natasha is absolutely mortified – she swears that she had proof-read and checked the advert a million times before sending it to the magazine. She is positive that somebody has double-crossed her and sabotaged the advert, but with all the evidence pointing in her direction, nobody seems prepared to listen to her. With her reputation in tatters and her career on the line, Natasha vows to do whatever it takes to restore her good name – even beg brooding Darius Hadley, owner of Hadley Chase, for a second chance…Hadley Chase is a millstone round Darius’ neck which he just cannot wait to get rid of. The majestic estate that had been in his family for generations reminds Darius of a miserable childhood, full of loneliness and despair, which he has tried his hardest to forget. With his life entirely consumed by his art, Darius wants to sell Hadley Chase as quickly as possible and move on with his life unencumbered by dark shadows of his past. When the top London estate agent he’d entrusted to handle the sale of Hadley Chase mucks up, Darius is absolutely livid. He cannot afford delays or setbacks of any kind – and neither can he afford to get distracted by curvaceous Natasha Gordon, who turns up on his doorstep pleading with him to give her another shot to sell the estate. Darius agrees to her proposition, but on one condition – that she poses naked for him!Natasha is absolutely flabbergasted by Darius’ proposal, but determined to do anything it takes to get him to agree to let her handle the sale of Hadley Chase, she accepts to pose nude for him. Despite this unusual arrangement, Natasha is determined to keep things strictly professional between her and Darius. However, she hadn’t counted on falling in love with Hadley Chase – and with its handsome owner…An outstanding writer of romantic fiction who raises the bar with every single book she writes, Liz Fielding has penned a fun, flirty and emotional tale that sizzles with red-hot chemistry, steamy love scenes, delicious humour and tender pathos that will hold readers in thrall and keep them engrossed from beginning to end!For His Eyes Only is a terrific tale about taking a chance on love, forbidden attraction and the unexpected twists of fate that will make readers chuckle as well as shed a tear or two. I absolutely adored smart and feisty Natasha, an admirable heroine who never gave up even when the odds were stacked against her and hunky, saturnine and gorgeous Darius, a sexy hero any woman would love to pose for!A spectacular contemporary romance from one of the best writers in the business, For His Eyes Only is another winner from the always outstanding Liz Fielding!This review was originally published on Cataromance.
