I was really excited to start reading the new Harlequin Dare line of books and as I started reading this story, I realized I had read it before. I must have received a copy through some other reader group. It was probably a pretty early ARC so that I hadn’t seen a cover reveal yet. This cover is pretty hot! I’d say that it goes along perfectly with the new Dare line.
Overall, it’s a pretty quick read, but if you are looking for a quick romance with an erotic edge, this book might be for you. I had expected that newer stories would be a bit more erotic/explicit, not crossing over into anything taboo...but just a bit more risque. This book definitely dials up the heat a bit, but there is still some mystery and you are trying to figure out more about the characters backgrounds. I’d still put it in the contemporary romance category.
The main characters are Libby and Alex Lancaster, who is a sexy, single, British billionaire. He is clearly successful and usually gets what he wants, and his pursuit of Libby is no exception. Libby is a small business owner who is really good at marketing. She goes to London to present at a lecture and Alex has definitely noticed her. He wants to hire Libby for some work, but she doesn’t really understand why he would ask her, so she keeps turning him down. Partly because she is totally attracted to him and cannot imagine a strictly professional relationship...the story is gets pretty good as Alex puts some effort into pursuing Libby ;) Their chemistry is definitely explosive and they grow to mean a lot to each other in just a short week. Libby is convinced this is all going to be over because she lives in the US and Alex lives in England, so she is still a bit hesitant, although she does decide to enjoy her week with Alex.
This book is a great choice when you know you are in the mood for a HEA and some steamy sex scenes. The cover is sexy and I think it does a good job reflecting the tone of the story.
