I liked this series, didn't love it, but liked it quite a bit.  Liked the storyline and the characters.  Well-written, no major typos/grammar issues.***************************SOME SPOILERS**************************George is back, and this is where the story annoyed me.  Sam is trying to land a big account, mainly so she won't have to depend on Laurent for all her business.  A smart move, IMO.  After chasing the account for months, she finds out George is the newly appointed CEO for the company and Sam will have to work with him.  Laurent, of course, goes completely off the rails and demands that she choose between him and George.  If Sam had made any such demands, I'm certain they would have been scoffed at and then dismissed.  Instead of trying to talk things out, Laurent walks out (like a child) and decides Sam will have to see George's true colors for herself.I really disliked Laurent's attitude.  He has heard all kinds of rumors (which he believes) about George being a rapist and doesn't think to warn Sam?  When Sam does get attacked (who didn't see that coming), Laurent lets Sam take all the blame and pretty much insinuates that Sam brought it on herself.  Worse even, Sam agrees!  Ugh, I hate that this strong woman turns into a simpering mess over a guy who at times is more interesting in controlling her than loving her.  Sam keeps apologizing to him in the hospital, over and over, and I lost major respect for her.  Where was Laurent's apology for acting like a childish jerk about the whole situation?  He seemed more interested in being smug about being right.Deep breath, rant over.  That was a small part of the book (about 20% or so) and I did like the rest of it, it's just that the whole George situation made me like these characters less.The epilogue was good, and I felt good about where the characters were at the end.
