What a refreshing change in character roles! First of all, I LOVED the fact that the heroine, Eva, was an educated, hard working career woman, who earned her success in the corporate world. She wasn't dependent on a man and took care of herself...imagine that! Eva's sharp tongue, sarcastic wit, and ball busting attitude made me laugh, as did her male-like, no-strings-attached view on sex and serious relationships. She acted like the typical male we see in these books; scarred of real intimacy and only looking to fulfill her carnal desires. Then there's Alexander, our hero. Although he's a handsome mllionaire with a painful past, like so many male characters we read about, he isn't a damaged and insensitive man whore. On the contrary, he is romantic, passionate, sweet, patient and thoughtful. Alexander wears his heart on his sleeve and loves so deeply and completely until it hurts. Your heart breaks for him and you ache for Eva because she is paralyzed. She is paralyzed by her fear of letting go of her control, completely letting her guard down and opening up her heart fully to love and be loved. Eva thinks she has to choose between having love in her life and having a thriving career. Will the final words of her best childhood friend make her see the error of her ways? We've got to read the next book to find out! This is a 4.5 Star read and a great start to the trilogy! I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
