When Aiden Stewart set off for Vermont, he thought he was just going to negotiate a business merger. What he found was a woman who stole his heart. This definitely took Aiden for a loop because he loves the ladies. He is a player and had no intention of slowing things down in that department. But, his business negotiations with Jordan's company, make him rethink his whole player status.Jordan is also interested in Aiden, but she's got some baggage that comes along with her. She's a single mother and has recently taken over ChatDotCom. She's overwhelmed and meeting someone like Aiden was the last thing she expected. However, their chemistry brought them together and not only did they figure out a way to make their companies merge, but they fell in love in the process.I'll say that I liked Aiden and Jordan. I think Jordan's back story was interesting and I loved that she worked hard to keep a successful company running and raise a toddler. That's a lot of work. And I was glad to see Aiden change his ways, although we know 'of' his player status, but never really saw it. What didn't work with me in regards to their relationship was that they fell in love so deeply within a week's time, while working on a business merger. Now, I know this is a story, but it just didn't sit well with me. I didn't mind the sex and the exploration of feelings, but falling in love that fast threw me off for the rest of the book. I also could have done without the dramatic scene toward the end of the book. It just felt unnecessary to me.Looking at the book overall, I did like it. Maybe not as much as I liked Small Town Girl, but it was pleasant. And it was nice to see a small glimpse of Lauren and Caleb from the first book. Caleb was hot. There are some steamy moments but nothing too graphic. The language during the love scenes is a bit more flowery than erotic. You can read this book as a stand alone even though it's part of a series. Recommended for readers who are looking for  a fast paced love story with just a hint of spice.
