Mina Hemingway is secretly happy that she's finally free of her boyfriend after finding his personal assistant's legs around his head. Sitting at the bar contemplating her frigidness with the bartender, she's surprised to find herself sitting next to Marco Genovese and decides he's exactly what she needs to exact her revenge on her cheating ex. But Marco isn't interested in a one night stand, he's intent on waking Mina's passion and then making her his.I know this is like the billionth billionaire/doe-eyed self proclaimed plain Jane book, but I really liked this one. The fact that it's a serial, ugh, but I can live with it.Marco made me swoon, and I do not swoon. This guy is exactly the kind of possessive/alpha male that is so beyond sexy to me. I haven't made up my mind yet about Mina, it's hard to nail her down in thirty one pages. Considering the situation, there actually is something very authentic about the way Mina is feeling. She's being self deprecating, and shows evidence of a low self-esteem (which sucks), but she also does show some liveliness that suggests she may not be a doormat. The fact that she humors and challenges him at the end of this is a good sign.This is the second book I've read by this author and the second time I've been happy with what I've read. I think the writing is well done, the dialog is realistic, it's erotic, and the storyline is engaging. If you can stomach and afford another one of these serial billionaire erotica books, I'd recommend giving this one a try.
