Review: Dono(van) and Victoria heat up the office and limo
Rating: 4 out of 5

Donovan and Victoria both had terrible childhoods in which they were never good enough for their fathers.  This is the unique Jackie Ashenden connection between the two leads - she usually has something that is behind the drive or choices the main characters make, and it's in this connection where attraction lies.Donovan's brother Jax (who we read about it the first book in this series) wants to sell a piece of Morrow property that doesn't have a good history and might negatively impact the reputation of the Morrow family. Donovan doesn't want to sell but has to hear the offer that Victoria de Winter and her family have for the property.  Donovan will do anything not to sell the property, and Victoria will do anything to buy it.  And that "anything" involves lots of sexy scenes.Both Donovan and Victoria make mistakes as their attraction and relationship heat up, but they are obviously quite in to each other.  I actually read this second book in the series last and Sean's story (#3) first - since most of the action in all three books took place around a limited time period, reading out of order didn't really affect the story that much.  I actually liked meeting both Jax and Donovan in Sean's story first and then going back and delving into both their characters a lot more.I had never read a Jackie Ashenden story before this series, and I'm glad that I found her as an author.  I never really got into the billionaire stories as they become more and more popular (and the millionaire stories that used to be popular in the Harlequin series either), but if her work is indicative of what I have in store for me, I'll probably be checking out more of her books and a lot more billionaires.
