This is a very fasssst paced story that probably should've combined the next two installments for it's conclusion as each installment is so short.  But I suppose that wouldn't be financially profitable to all those involved.  I'd rather pay one lump sum than three lesser prices that will equal more than if I'd paid one sum for one completed book.  Plus having to wait for the conclusion of the entire story can be a pain in one's heinie.  Oh well,  that's what I get for clicking "purchase" too quickly. <sigh>.Isobella (Issy) Prince is new to Manhattan.  She's alone in the world.  No family, although she has a best friend in Angel...her college room mate and friend for life.  They live together in Manhattan.  Issy is an Interior Designer establishing her brand new Business with new clientele.  Issy is a real sex-pot.  Men flock to her in droves and drool over her hoping to gain her attention.... and she's famous for her one night stands.  She's a "love 'em and leave 'em" type of gal.  She's always in control.  But with her new business in it's infancy and just starting to get off its feet, Issy has sworn off men and sex to focus all her energy and attention to her business....until she meets Lucas Hunter.Lucas Hunter is the owner of the building that Issy's business office is in.  He is tall, dark, handsome and very reclusive.  He is extremely orderly and in control at all times.  He has no time or inclination for relationships.  He admits he's a workaholic.... he never socializes.  He works 24/7....15 (or more), hour long days.Issy and Lucas are instantly attracted to each other when they first meet.  All the signs of attraction are there.  Issy is a little fearful and intimidated of Lucas as she's never met anyone with such magnetism before...that is, anyone who makes her feel out of her normal control.  And that scares her.  She's fearful too, of his mystery.  Yet she'd like to add him to the notches on her bedpost...and for that she's willing to recant her "man ban"..just for him.  But Lucas seems to not want her, which makes Issy try all the harder to nab him for a one nighter.They unintentionally play a cat and mouse game (accidentally meeting and then avoiding each other) for the next few days in this building in which Issy works ...fighting the instant and strong magnetism that they each feel.  But then, after seeing Issy's work...Lucas suddenly hires her to redesign his offices....and they become better acquainted.  Suddenly they're confessing their feelings of attraction and hidden thoughts to each other.I liked this story except it moved so quickly that it became rushed.  I realize the Author did this on purpose and truthfully, she did a great job bringing so much information to the reader is only 6 chapters.  Still it can be hard to grasp and it made me wonder...do relationships actually move this fast in the real world??  I finally had to let those thoughts go and simply enjoy this story for what it is.I liked Lucas' mysteriousness...but found it odd at how quickly he was forthcoming with his thoughts to Issy once they begin talking.  It seemed out of character for him because this author establishes him as removed from people...mysterious, quiet and reclusive.  I mean he was so secretive for so long....so mysterious and remote one minute and quite literally the next minute he's an open book, confessing his feelings to her.  Therefore when he begins talking non-stop, I found it odd behavior for one so secluded.  And for being a successful business man and multimillionaire - - his speech came across (to me) as being rather adolescent...reminding me of a High School kids.  It's bizarre.  Again, I realize the Author has to write this way since there are only six chapters and much information to reveal.Since I'm already invested into this story and the Author has done her job is raising my curiosity,  I'm finishing this review off to begin Part 2.
