Achieving one
of her dreams of being a chef, Jaden has recently become the head chef for one
of the hottest restaurants in Miami. When
her boss asked her to attend the Winemakers Dinner, she didn’t expect that one
dinner to change her life. Seeing a
stranger who she couldn’t keep her eyes off of in the VIP section, she couldn’t
have known what would be happening later in that evening.
Dr. Ivan Rusilko certainly wasn’t
expecting to have the reaction that he had when he saw Jaden at the Winemakers
Dinner, but all he knew was he had to find out more about her. All he knew was that he had to have her, and
keep her to himself. With using his
connections, he helped to get her better known, but at what risk was that for?
When it comes to the new power
couple, will they be able to power through everything, or will they end up not
having the power to face the future together?
Writing romance
and erotica is mainly a woman’s writing genre, but I have to give Dr. Ivan
major credit for bringing a male’s perspective into the genre. With his ability to write this series, from a
male’s perspective and still be able to attract the female’s votes is an
amazing skill to have. There were
certain times when you could really tell that this book was written by a male
and not a female; he focuses on their careers more than the romance part of
their relationship.
With that in
mind, I think that he did a good job balancing between the career, sex and
romance parts of the book. Now don’t get
me wrong, the sex scenes in this book are to die for! They are defiantly scorching hot and I think
that having a male write these scenes does add a little something else to the
story.
My one complaint
that I have about this book, is the fact that every time Ivan and Jaden would
get together, be it for a date or even their first meeting, it always ended in
sex. In my opinion it made it seem as
though they both just cared about sex, rather than having a relationship. But that could also be the man’s aspect on
things as well.
Overall I would
give the book 4 stars because I do like the story line and the sex scenes are
to die for. I can’t wait to read the
next book in the series to see what happens next between Ivan and Jaden.
This book is currently FREE on Amazon.
