Jackie and Brandon head into a deposition, each confident of crushing the other. The wind is pulled from Brandon sails, and Jackie must recalculate her moves when they meet, however. A single night of passion they shared as strangers only a few weeks earlier left each wanting more.

There was quite a bit of drama that was happening in this book, but I think that the author had a really good balance between not having too much and not enough in certain scenes. The characters that were involved during the course of the story were written pretty good right from the start. There were some aspects of the book that it was easy to predict what was going to happen next, the only thing that caught me off guard was the way they went about proving everything.
The sex scenes that take place in this book were off the walls hot factor that's for sure. The balance between everything that takes place in this book was done extremely well. This book has enough twists and turns that it will keep you wanting to read further.
All in all this is a really good book to read and I would recommend it to friends!
