Rating:  3 StarsThe story of Nathan (Millionaire, husband to Candace, anti-romance guy)and Candace (Stripper, wife to Nathan, money and life issues).  While the basis of the book is simple:  Nathan needs a wife in name only because he does not do love/relationships/romance.  He needs a wife to control, have sex with and follow his rules.  Candace has a messed up life that has led her to stripping for a living.  She wants a more promising life.  Nathan has a need and Candace has a want, and so the marriage contract begins.  Along the way, Candace seeks to know more about her husband and then the mystery begins.The book held my attention and kept me engaged for the most part.  The drama/secret was unexpected and very creative.  I don't think anyone would have predicted it.  The sex scenes were smokin' hot!  There's a link to a different ending, which was my preference.  I felt that it gave me more closure.  This was a well written intriguing story and I liked it.Why Not 5 Stars?The 'deep' relationship between Candace and Nathan was unbelievable.  After I finished the story I was thinking about how few interactions/bonding moments between Candace and Nathan took place.  She spent most of the time alone or with Drew.  Nathan and Candace would have sex and she was not allowed to hang around and talk to him afterwards.  They really only communicated during the two day trip to the Bahamas. I can't even classify Nathan as an alpha-male, since there were not too many scenes with him and Candace.  There was not enough time for me to be invested and believe in such a strong love connection.  Add in Drew...Come on Really?Unbelievable Scene - I was enjoying the book up until the scene where you know who shows up at the house after the trip. For me, this was unrealistic.  He has a security gate and system and they just enter the house at that particular time.  I did not buy into it.  The timing was way off.Unanswered questions - I did not think the epilogue tied up the all of the loose ends.  The main one for me, where was this woman for 4 years and why did she leave in the first place.  Where's the money?  What's the relationship with Drew now?  The epilogue was lacking and could have been much better.
