Animal Instincts

by Gena Showalter

Unleashing your inner tigress isn't easy when you're a doormat by nature! Still, after escaping a wretched marriage to a cheating SOB, Dallas party planner Naomi Delacroix isn't about to let another man sweet-talk her into sheathing her protective claws. Not even hunky millionaire Royce Powell, who's hired her to arrange his mother's surprise party. Even if he does make her purr like a kitten with one heated glance...

Royce claims he's been in love with her ever since she threw a party for one of his friends six months ago. But if that's true, why is this incredibly eligible CEO currently taking applications for a wife? Despite herself, Naomi is tempted to fill one out. But can her inner tigress believe a man might change his stripes?

The problem with this book is the author trying to sell to me that this couple is meant to be together. Royce is a straight-up cardboard character, with no depth whatsoever. Naomi is a recent divorcee, who has a crush on Royce, but can't believe he's actually interested in her. You know, he's a rich, eligible bachelor on the marriage mart. Their attraction was not convincing, plus he was a controlling jerk. DNF'd at 29%.
