I expected a straight up contemporary romance when I started this. But what I got was something completely different. Right from the start with the brilliant prologue the reader is given clues as to Dorian Atticus's upbringing. The story proper begins when Dorian now full grown and is the richest man in the world.Tori Winters down on her luck, is hoping to get at job working in the Atticus mansion. From the first moment she arrives and gets the job as a cleaner. Tori wonders just what sort of weird and wonderful place she's stepped into. The mansion holds many surprises and is almost a complete world in itself. It's also filled with a multitude of interesting characters, from her immediate boss Miss Chen to the easygoing Connor the butler. But the most interesting and mysterious of all is Dorian. He and Tori make an immediate connection. He's rich beyond most people's wildest dreams, and she's poor. But there's a sadness about Dorian and to him Tori is like a breath of fresh air. She intrigues and fascinates him.This story hooked me right from the first page, it as at times quite surreal with all the space age gadgets, I wondered if I was reading a scifi story. The romance aspect is very understated. There's no erotic sex scenes in fact there's no sex at all. Not that it mattered because there was so much else to enjoy. The blurb states that this is book one. I cannot find any info as to when the next book will be published. but whenever it is I will definitely be reading it.
