I was sent an e-galley of this book for review by the publisher and this review also appears on my blog.No remuneration was exchanged and all opinions granted herein are my own except as noted.I wonder about the silliest things. Why doesn't this character have a family? If he was so busy providing for his sister and marrying his slutty ex-wife how did he get the creds for his marketing job, which seems almost like a mergers and acquisition position. Sometimes the details get edited out of short form erotic fiction. I am told by writers and editors that most readers don't notice this kind of thing but I do.This is a sort of sweet story with a few steamy scenes. It's from the Ever After Imprint, so you would be surprised if the ending wasn't of the happily ever after variety, right? Without revealing too much, let me say this is a situation many women find themselves in. A good man is hard to find, right? There's a lot of drama between them and the end is a doozie. Neither member of the couple is very good at interpersonal communication; since they are both in industries where communication is vital that is a little odd.The romance is justified and the intimate scenes pretty much are as well. There are a few twists, but a lot of it is predictable. I don't see Brianna's day-to-day persona; pretty high powered business woman aligning with how she is at home. He's okay, his character feels dated to me. There isn't anything spectacularly different in the love scenes - it's pretty vanilla, even when it is incredibly passionate.The story was nice - not mind blowing or tremendously engaging. It'd be a good beach read if you enjoy tamer erotica with a lot of drama out of the bedroom.
