Originally Reviewed For: Bodice Rippers, Femme Fatales and FantasyEver just want a good old fashioned romance? Where two people meet and fall in love? Where the conflict really is how they can work together? How to not let the outside world disrupt what you are creating? Well look no more.. in book three of Addison Fox's Boardrooms and Billionaires Series we get all that.Camryn McBride is the last sister standing.. both of her sisters have fallen into happily ever after and both want the same for Camryn. But for Camryn, the eternal accountant, the risks far outweigh the rewards and she has been holding back. A lifetime of men who were disparaging, insulting or just not there has convinced her that love just isn't worth it. So how does she handle this attraction she has for her brother-in-law's brother? Talk about messy.Booth Harrison has spent his life stepping out of his overbearing, arrogant, old school father's shadow. But step out he has! While he still runs the family business and has made it flower.. he has his own interests.. and some of them are even fun. Booth has a certain reputation with the ladies but something about the ever so straitlaced Camryn McBride calls to him. In spite of the family connections and the trouble it could cause, Booth does what he does best. Goes after what he wants.That could be the entire story right there.. but life is never that simple and Ms Fox gets that. In Camryn she has created a woman afraid to live outside the box.. afraid to risk anything so what does she do? She makes this story very messy. Just what Camryn needs.Booth's father is an awful man.. one who has no problem fudging the truth a bit but no way would Booth ever expect less the ethical behavior from him. Spoiled little rich boy, sure but cheater.. never. So when some questionable business ethics start showing up on the books.. Camryn isn't sure just who is involved and who to trust. Should she go to Booth? Should she stay out of it? Should she... Camryn's problem is that Booth seems just too good to be true. He respects the woman she is. Understands her passion for her work and her love of family.. so of course Camryn has to question, what's in it for him? In a way being the good guy actually makes him a bigger target for Camryn's doubts.This is a book about a relationship, with all it's foibles. A book where in the end you just have to trust in each other. To believe in the good and forgive the bad. To accept love offered and to take the chance and offer it in return. A nice read for someone who just needs a chance to believe..ShauniThis review is based on the ARC of The Billionaire's Demands, provided by netgalley
