I received this book from the author and the Making Connections group in exchange for a honest review.My Thoughts:  I really loved this book!  It was labeled an erotic romance.  I am always reluctant to agree to read and review erotic romances because I have a threshold of what I can handle.  This was within my comfort level.  The hero reminded me in many way of Lynda Chance's heroes (Alpha males who on the outside seem hard-edged, but have a touch of vulnerability that sometimes shows through if you look hard enough).The Hero: Boston Kincaid is a manipulative, cold-hearted, ruthless man determined to get his way.  He was not always this way.  A former fiancée ripped his heart out of chest and ever since then he has been way.  Anytime he feels threatened by someone, he ruthlessly takes them out.The Heroine:  Julianna Holly is someone who will barter anything she has for her brother.  It makes her a perfect target for Boston's manipulation.  Throughout the book, she never lets anyone put her down.  She always stands up for herself.The Story:  Boston Kincaid has summoned Julianna to his office.  She has no idea why.  Boston wants to make her what he views as a mutually beneficial proposition.  In exchange for her becoming his, he will give her one million dollars and send her brother (who is in a wheelchair)to the best facility in the world.  Boston is ruthless and uses her love for her brother against her.  She reluctantly agrees and is deposited in Boston's house.Their relationship is tenuous at the start, but eventually becomes routine.  Then one day, Julianna faints and is taken to the hospital where she finds out she is pregnant.  Julianna accuses Boston of lying to her.  He told her he could not father children.  On the other hand, Boston accuses her of cheating on him.  Julianna is released from the hospital and is brought back to Boston's home.  She immediately packs and disappears.  Boston is enraged and starts to search for her.  Julianna flies to St. John in the Caribbean.  Boston's PI finds her and he goes to the island to confront her.The rest of the book deals with the eventual HEA between Boston and Julianna.
