You've seen the headlines: Womanizing billionaire player! Watch out! Stay away!
We were just two strangers. Facing a forbidden attraction, a chemical connection. Neither of us expected or wanted it to amount to more.
But I had never been drawn to a guy the way I was drawn to this one: my brother's best friend, and CEO of the company where I interned. Even knowing I should stay away, I proved to be too human, after all.
The chemistry was amazing.
The laughs were incredible.
I opened up to him in more ways than I'd opened up to anyone before.
But sex was as far as I'd go.
Just sex because he was too irresistible.
Just sex because I wouldn't be falling for him.
Just sex because I'd leave in three months, and I'd like for my brother not to kill me, and for nobody to find out he was my wicked little secret.
I was originally going to give this two stars, but the second half of the book was better than the first I think. I almost stopped reading it at one point just because it's so ridiculous to me. I don't understand how they didn't figure out who each other were at some point prior to when they did. Does Callan just not have any clue who he hires to work at his company? The only reason I stuck with it as long as I did was because I wanted to see what would happen with Tahoe.
It also seemed to have a much younger focus as Tahoe's sister is right out of college and is 22 whereas the others in the series have been more mid 20's so I didn't like that either. I just found the story overall hard to believe. No one told her, her brother just kind of vanished from her life for a while. I felt like I was reading a slow motion car crash through the whole book.
I also cannot believe he kept pursuing her after he found out she was his BEST FRIEND's little sister. I don't think that type of guy would be the type to end up marrying her at the end. I just felt like he had very little respect for his friends and I can't believe his best friends were Tahoe and Malcolm, two of my favorite men in romance novels ever. He's so different.
I am glad I finished the book even though I found it very unrealistic, especially since Olivia just says she's going to give up on her dreams for him after 3 months. I didn't have much respect for Olivia/Callan in this book at all.
