This book is a treasure, a fine little gem I plan to visit again and again.  Megan Bryce brings an original voice, a unique idea to the world of contemporary romance.Our heroine, Mackenzie, simply wants to be left alone.  She's the top salesman in her company, and Ethan, the owner, knows it.  He knows she wants to be left alone, too, but he loves jousting with her far too much to comply.  Being the rich, handsome, charming bachelor he is, women throw themselves at him.  Every woman, except Mackenzie.  She goes toe-to-toe with him, utterly undazzled by him, entirely honest with him about all the ways in which he annoys her. And this is just the beginning of a lively dance, an energetic duel between two smart, witty, accomplished individuals.I loved this book, especially the character of Mackenzie.  I loved how she challenged Ethan, how she held her own and then some.  She is the modern thinking woman's heroine.  No racing pulses, timid glances, or heaving bosoms here!  She was an entirely independent woman, and it is delicious to watch how she gradually bends, just a little, just enough to see the well-protected heart that beats in her chest.  Ethan, too, yields, ever so slowly, he comes to see himself for what he really is, for how he has really behaved, and he isn't proud of what he sees.  The journey these two embark on is wonderful.  Parts of this book, particularly the dialogue is laugh out loud funny.  But this book also has heart, and tenderness that glows with a loving light.I cannot recommend this book highly enough.  If you are in the mood for a delightfully different romance, look no further.  Megan Bryce has created a small masterpiece, and should be applauded for that accomplishment.
