Julia and Nathan pass each other in the street and it's lust at first sight. They agree to spend a passionate night together at a hotel, but Nathan neglects to mention that he has a fiancee. The next morning he feels guilty and tells Julia he's engaged. Heartbroken, she storms out of the hotel and attempts to forget him and get on with her life. They meet again a few months later when Julia, having been fired from her job, accepts a job at a new firm, unaware that Nathan works for the same firm. At first, Nathan accuses Julia of stalking him and tells her their relationship must stay strictly business, but seeing her every day tortures him. He can't keep his hands off her and seethes with jealousy when she comes into contact with other men, but he doesn't want to break off his engagement to his fiancee Cameron.The story is written in 3rd person. I usually prefer 1st person because I like to feel as if I'm in the character's skin, but the author did a great job and I was able to experience the characters emotions. It was well-written and descriptive, which made it easy to picture the scenes in my mind. There were plenty of steamy, sensuous sex scenes that were hot enough to melt my kindle.Although Nathan did cheat, he was trying to do what he thought was the right thing, he just couldn't control the attraction he felt for Julia. Being single, Julia had no qualms about letting Nathan know how much she wanted him. The teasing and sexual tension was off the charts.I didn't really care for Julia or Nathan. I felt Julia was too obsessed with judging people on how they looked and  was a little too weak and weepy for my taste. Not being a label person, I found the constant mentions of her designer outfits tiresome. I liked Julia's twin sister far more; she had spunk and seemed like a fun person. Although Cameron was selfish and self-obsessed, I did have some sympathy for her. She suffered from lack of confidence her entire life and had undergone surgery in order to feel better about herself. The risk of losing Nathan tipped her over the edge.Overall, a well-written, hot story.I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
