There's just something about alpha males and Delilah Fawkes that gets the blood pumping.  Perhaps it's the fact she knows just how to craft one, how to write a leading man with enough no-nonsense bullheadedness, with enough gusto and risk-taking, that she can get you swept up as the heroine does.This is the key to her writing.  Though the billionaire could be picked out of any of a hundred other billionaire books at first glance, Delilah's true talent is writing heroines.  She knows just how to make them react to their bad boy counterparts, from innocence to sexuality, her key is connecting to the reader via Lucy, who just so happens to be so in need of money, she'll sign anything.And just as Lucy is naive about the world and most of all, of herself, Delilah can easily relate that to the reader.  Lucy reads like a well-intentioned young adult, a girl trying her best but completely unable to see the dark underbelly lurking beneath.  She's blind to the choker, she's sexually experienced but also inexperienced, and just as Isabeau can see because she's been there, Delilah's fresh-faced new character, Lucy, cannot.Wonderfully written and impeccable length and timing.  I'll be sticking around for this one.
