Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 11 2, 2011
PLOT: Sarah Powell meets Brady Travers when she's out with friends trying to cheer her up since she's just lost her job. She takes Brady home to her apartment. Later when she's hired for the job in Bermuda, she's stunned to find Brady is her new boss.I found Sarah to be annoyingly naive. I couldn't understand why she kept pursuing him after he told her he wanted their relationship to be strictly business.The point of view switched from Sarah to Brady from paragraph to paragraph at times. Occasionally within the same paragraph. There were also very minor editing issues.Sarah sleeps with Brady after knowing him for only hours. Over half the book passes before the two are intimate again. This wouldn't be so annoying if it weren't for one excuse after another that crops up to keep the two of them apart.It's repetitious. Over and over, we're told how important honesty is to Sarah. Constantly, we're reminded of how guilty Brady feels about withholding the truth from her. It gets boring and old real quick.2.5 STARS:  The length is good but I found this to be somewhat of an ordeal to get through.
