Review: Delectably decadent
Rating: 5 out of 5

I've been reading and reviewing amazing books lately. Books whose author pour their heart out. But in between, I feel like cleansing my palate with something delectable...in this case, delectably decadent! This read is short and sweet... although there is nothing sweet about Andrew Hamilton, whose mouth filters nothing (literally!). But I didn't end up disliking him, because he is the real thing. Both as a lawyer and as a, well, add the word. He never leads on and states upfront what he wants. If the girl is game, good. If not, she either spends the night in the 5* hotel suite, or gets a cab fare back home. Meeting Aubrey face to face makes him do a one-eighty, and he's baffled. Not that he treats her any better. In his mind, she's nothing but a liar, like the rest of them. But what was refreshing was Aubrey's reaction. She matched him word for word, defied him, called him names, stood her ground.My pet peeve in such books is that the heroine is your typical doormat: mesmerized by the all-consuming hero, she kneels in submission. I've developed low tolerance for such heroines, and frankly I don't understand what's so crazy appealing to female readers about situations like that. Well, that's not the case here, and I loved every minute of it.Don't get me started on the ending... I can't wait for the next episode, as I need to find out what Andrew's problem with women really is.
