4 StarsVictoria is trying to get her business as an image consultant off the ground and the client perfect for helping her get her foot in the door has just turned up. Too bad it's her college sweetheart who left her broken hearted, and with those mesmerizing eyes of his it'll take everything she's got to not fall for his charms again.Max left for what he thought was good reason, coming back has one purpose and one purpose only, he needs his inheritance. The mountain man look he's adopted over the last 7 years though just won't cut it in corporate America, and his sneaky mother has hired an image consultant to get him looking the part. He'll do whatever it takes to get to his money, but he never imagined coming across Victoria again. Now to keep his hands off her. Easier said than done, and as the two spend time together the sparks they shared all those years ago comes back with a vengeance.Victoria has had her share of heartache, but she's stronger because of it and doesn't let anyone get in her way of getting what she wants. Even a stubborn rugged man like Max. Max had his funny moments, but for most of the book he definitely wasn't my favorite guy. In fact I thought him a bit of a chicken shit for running away, but he does manage to redeem himself in the end. They are quite the pair together and it was fun watching the push and pull between them. I do wish we had seen more of their backgrounds, but overall I did enjoy this short story.
