I really enjoyed this book overall, Karlie was true to her character. As an interior designer she notices the designs of everywhere she goes. I love that kind of detail. The characters seemed very well developed and three dimensional. Michael was a successful business man who doesn't like who is father is and is doing everything he can to prove he is not the same.This book starts off with up and coming interior designer, Karlie. She is a bit of a loner, single for may years after getting out of a horrible relationship. Karlie is sent to Vegas to compete for the lead of the biggest project of her career. She is seated next to a very good looking man on the place and falls asleep on his shoulder. She gets settled in to her hotel room and when she goes to meet Mr. Scarpetti only to realize that the man she sat next to on the plane. They feel an instant attraction. They have a few encounters and when he puts his arm around her she wants to stay in that moment. I feel that while that might seem like a bit much for some, I have known many who have experienced the same feeling after being single for a long time. Karlie and Michael's attraction to each other is undeniable and clear to see. I don't feel as though they fell in love when they met, but that the love developed as the story went on.I really enjoyed this book from character development to story, plot and even the pace of the book. This is a stand alone book, that could be made into a series if the author chooses.  This book was really hard to put down once I started reading it.I did feel that there were a few things that were a bit far fetched, and just a little too unrealistic for my taste. While those parts turned me off, they were small enough that I could choose to ignore them.Like Karlie falling asleep on a perfect stranger and ends up fondling him in her sleep. Another was her competition. They were supposed to be seasoned designers, older. They acted like high school enemies, picking on her, being blatantly rude and disrespectful to Karlie in front of the man who was deciding which one of them to hire.
