Reviewed by AllisonDonated reviewReview originally posted at Romancing the BookReview: Determined to make her own way and not dip into her trust fund, Avery McAdams meets sexy billionaire Ryker Li when she pulls off a successful major event for him. Oh, and did I say he was sexy and smokin' hot? He is, and Avery does everything she can to resist him physically, as well as resist his job offer to plan a big event on his private island. No way does she want to just be another notch on his belt (so to speak).But Avery can't help but be impressed when she is whisked to his gorgeous island paradise, and given carte blanche to plan an event for 100 people...on a week's notice. Even though Ryker tells her she is beautiful, and is obviously interested in her, old insecurities rear their ugly heads and keep her from finding out just what it is about him that intrigues her.Ryker wants her, but he can't figure out why. She's irritating, argumentative, and doesn't fall at his feet. Maybe that's why he's so fascinated by her. He's never thought about wanting a woman who will stand up to him and for him. She might just be the woman of his dreams. But first he has to get her to trust him.This is the first book I have read by Barb Han, and I am now a big fan. Her writing style and voice kept me riveted from beginning to end. She brought this story and the characters to life with her vivid descriptions of the characters and setting.The story is told from the points of view of Avery and Ryker. Throughout the story, each one of them has to grow in order to trust the other, and the author succeeded in showing this...after making them suffer, of course.All in all, a really good, steamy romance, and I look forward to reading more from Barb Han.
