Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 07 6, 2013
Monica Granger and Ben Coron are the children of rivals whose history runs deep -- and old bitterness threatens their love as well as their companies. In this book, Malia Mallory takes romantic suspense and runs with it, weaving a tale of two young people born into family businesses built from the ground up by their fathers. At first, the book seemed like a standard romance novel, but it quickly diverged into a corporate espionage/romantic suspense thriller.Unlike other books with romantic suspense themes, His Passion, Her Temptation doesn't have an obvious villain -- you really aren't sure until the end what's going on. In scene after scene you wonder -- is it the brother? The lawyer he's dating? Ben's dad? Monica's dad? And the romantic storyline has an edge to it, as the seemingly mellow, friendly Ben has a darker streak inside him when it comes to passion in the bedroom. Monica is a willing participant in new bedroom kinks as her relationship causes her to grow.This is a tight novel with good pacing and an interesting romantic suspense novel in this series.
