Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 05 20, 2013
Adam Lawrence is a powerful, cynical, control freak and very rich CEO of his own company. As such, he does not have people cross him and he becomes extremely angry when Cassie Jacobs tells him she will not cater his retreat that she was originally hired to do. All of Adam's demands and changes finally cause her to snap and tell him that she will not do the job. She needs the job and realizes that he can ruin her but she walks away anyhow. Adam is unable to replace her agency in short notice so he vows to get her to do the job and then never have anything to do with her again. But circumstances change when they discover that her father and his mother are engaged. Seeing each other on occasion, their relationship develops; it's rocky at many times; Adam's behavior wavers between attentive, seducing to being condescending. Cassie is drawn to him, emotionally and physically, even though he hurts her on more than one occasion. Adam is the kind of person you want to give an attitude adjustment to; the guy's not even nice to his own mother at times. And you would like to whack Cassie up the side of her head and tell her to wake up and stop being a masochist. From the title, I wasn't expecting this to be that good of a book, the title is appropriate for the story however.
