I've reread this book several times now, so I figured it was due for a revamped review. This was the very first book I ever read from this author & I'm so very glad I did. I simply love her. Her men are aggressive, possessive, sexy as sin top dogs & her women are feisty, independent, balls to the wall closet freaks -it's an explosive combination."If you're that desperate for companionship, and you don't mind being s*** on, you should just get a dog, Violet. At least you can eventually train it to s*** on your floor instead of you."In this book we meet Heaven Sevigne Deville who was born and raised in a brothel where her mother is the Madame. Cut-throat competitive, driven, focused on her career, she can hold her own against anyone, harbors a strong dislike for the make species, & is completely sexually repressed. Sadly, this kind of makes her somewhat of a frigid b***h in the beginning.Julian King is your everyday, sex-obsessed manwhore. He loves women, all kinds of women, no girlfriends EVER, just sex & lots of it with no attempts to hide it. They are both attorneys at the same law firm & have hated each other since day one."Does that suit come with a chastity belt attached, or do you have to attach it manually?""Do you get a free STD exam after every ten visits, or is that only with you antibiotics?""Prude""Sex fiend"In an all out war to make partner at the firm, these two pittbulls will stop at nothing to win. When it seems Julian is in the lead for the position, Heaven gets desperate enough to try to cheat by breaking into his office & destroying all Julian's work. Everything blows up in her face when he catches her red handed  & offers her an ultimatum. Either she hands herself over to him for 30 days, or he hands her over to the authorities for breaking and entering ultimately destroying her career and everything she has worked so hard for."I want you-every inch of you. I want you naked and on your knees before me....""Never! I would never let you touch me, you smug, f****** sadist! I hate you and I always will!""I hate you just as much, that's half the reason I can't wait to f*** you. I'll have you bending to my will, and doing everything I demand, no matter how revolting."And the contract begins.Living under King's roof and completely at his mercy, Heaven is forced to confront all her deep rooted fears, disgust & avoidance of anything sexually related. To her complete confusion & annoyance, she doesn't hate it as much as she wants to or thought she would.Julian just wanted to dominate and humiliate the she devil who has made his life miserable for the last three years, he doesn't expect the strong attraction or lust that follows.'The fact that just the sight of his enemy brought on an overwhelming feeling of lust, the likes of which he hadn't experienced since he was an eager teenager, had Julian stunned as well as erotically mystified.'Watching these two over the course of their 'contract' was amazing. Lots of fighting, moments of sweetness, and frequent hott lovin, you actually see their feelings for each other shift & soften as the book progresses though neither knows what to do about it. Add in a secret villain bent on destroying Julian, hordes of jealous scorned women, and catty coworkers....let's just say, the drama was high voltage. I loved every damn minute of it."Your hatred is my foreplay"
