The man had turned out to be really bad for me the job could change my life in an amazing way. The only similarities between this book and the Crossfire series were the scorching hot sex, strong female MC, and an obvious love for Manhattan. Lucky for everyone, Sylvia Day is awesome. I kind of feel like an ass for saying that I picked this up to tide me over while I wait for the new Crossfire Book ( Captivated by You) but it is true. Perhaps one which shed light on Jaxon's family post-meltdown? It is with regret that I must knock this down to 4 Stars, because the ending was rushed, and I think it really could have benefited from an extended epilogue. So when the shit hits the fan and Jaxon is facing an epic meltdown of both his personal and professional lives, he is the one who must make changes. Yes, Jax delivers in the bedroom, but he was obnoxious in every other way. Sheet-twisting, angry-fucking, multiple-orgasm-inducing sex. And yes, Jackson Rutledge is top shelf sex. “But I’m not putting up with this shit from a jerk.”. “I’d face all that and more for a guy who really loved me,” I told him coldly. She was willing to work for it - to make compromises, but she wasn't going to sacrifice her personality for grade-A dick. That's not to say that Gianna was apathetic toward her relationship with Jax. I'm looking at you Ava from the This Man Trilogy. Women who are so dazzled by their alpha-male that they forget they had goals of their own.

In a perfect world of literary crossovers, Gianna would be hopping from book to book slapping sense into women who lose themselves in their men. I have a total Lady Boner for any book heroine who is strong and secure enough to tell the hot guy she's lusting after to 'Fuck Off' when the relationship becomes toxic. What can she do to keep him from disappearing again? As they begin Affair Round Two, Gia is left to wonder if sheet-twisting sex can compensate for a lack of commitment. Gia and Jax had an affair two years ago which ended in Jax disappearing without a word, and Gia nursing a broken heart.Īll of the emotions from their past fling are quickly rekindled. Unfortunately, her professional veneer is cracked when an old flame shows up to a business meeting. She's been taking the restaurant business world by storm as the protégé of the owner of Savor.

This book is written from the perspective of Gianna, a fierce modern woman determined to make her way in this world.

There were two things in my life I’d felt that way about: the man I’d stupidly fallen in love with and the administrative assistant position I was about to interview for. Have you ever wanted something so bad, you couldn't imagine not having it? A wonderfully entertaining story from Sylvia Day!
