I love this series and have been anxiously waiting for Rhett's story and author Karen Erickson did not disappoint! Rhett Worth is the youngest Worth brother trying to live down his womanizing reputation as he oversees an important business project. He is to secure a world famous perfume creator, Michael Durand for Worth Industries but he gets his daughter, Gabriella Durand instead. Gabriella has followed in her father's footstep but is inexperienced both personally and professionally. Rhett and Gabriella are instantly attracted to each other but Rhett wants his brothers to take him seriously so he has promised his brothers as well as himself that he would not mix business with pleasure. That is easier said than done as you see Rhett struggle to keep from getting Ella into bed.  I enjoyed Rhett's developing relationship with Ella whom he has shown great kindness and tenderness to; his true feelings for her are displayed in his every actions even though he has a difficult time verbally expressing them. Ella was a kindhearted, vulnerable heroine but strong and passionate when the occasion warranted it. The dynamics between the brothers are complicated even though they all love each other. Rhett doesn't feel like he measures up to their standards and his relationship with each of his older brothers is different. I liked the interaction he has with them and with his sister-in-laws Tessa and Gracie. I also enjoyed the friendship between Ella and Tessa, who knows how it feels to be surrounded by the strong and powerful Worth men and helped Ella feel more comfortable. It was great to see all the family members again and their reaction to the perfume fragrance that Ella created was priceless and had me grinning. There's a surprise in this story which has me wanting more in this series!
