From GoodReads.com: 

“What gives you a thrill Kristen?”

The minute I saw Vincent Sorenson, I knew he was trouble. Billionaire. Bad boy. And dangerously sexy. He was everything I craved, and nothing I needed. 

Unfortunately, I couldn’t just avoid him. The higher ups at my company decided they needed his business, and I was on the team to bring him in. Vincent Sorenson didn’t seem as interested in business as he was in me, but I knew that was a door better left unopened. If I got involved with him, it would only unearth the pain I spent years trying to bury.

I thought I had it under control, but I seriously underestimated Vincent’s seductive charm and silver-tongue. I would soon find out how delicious it would feel to let myself fall into this forbidden surrender.

***

Kristen Daley meets Vincent Sorenson as a potential client—she’s a Harvard educated financial analyst, he’s a surfer turned billionaire CEO. Almost immediately, the attraction is clear and he begins to pursue her. Kristen isn’t sure about mixing business with pleasure, but it doesn’t take very long for Vincent to win her over. 

My Vincent

My Kristen

The way that Pricilla West describes the chemistry between the two is fantastic. Through vivid description, you can really feel the vibe between them as they get to know each other. There’s more to Vincent than meets the eye, and it was enjoyable to see some of that. 

But then the book ends. 

A secondary story line is presented in the last quarter of the book, and I guess that’s where the series will pick up in the next one. I just wish this book were longer; it seems kind of pointless to drop off like that at the end. There wasn’t enough of an arc to make this a strong stand-alone story. 

That said, I really liked what I did read.

My Rating: 3.5/5 Stars
