My rating:
Blurb:Time is money to drop-dead-gorgeous tycoon Matt Jacobs. But when he meets beautiful Ella Mackenzie at his best friend's wedding, he decides to break his rule and make the most of his week off work—by spending it in bed with her!
Strong-willed Ella doesn't do sleepovers—but Matt's incredible lovemaking has got her hooked! So when their secret week between the sheets comes to an end, Ella finds herself accepting the sort of indecent proposal she never thought she'd consider….
3.5 stars — There were definitely some great parts to this book, but there were also some lulls and some disconnects for me…
Ella was an intriguing heroine, she was all closed off in some ways, and mostly I understood why. What I didn’t get was her temper! Hoowee!
Matt was actually pretty surprising for a Presents hero in particular (meaning he wasn’t a jerk or high handed)….well, maybe a bit high handed.
They had some wonderful moments together where I feel like I could really understand their connection, and I loved those parts. And then Matt would push, and Ella would push back, and I’d roll my eyes.
All in all it was solid, but not remarkable.
Can I just say I wish I was on that beach in the cover? This sounds like a fun read even if it wasn;t perefect.
