Kirsten Backhard is a highly respected senior negotiating
executive who plays with some of the most powerful men in her field.
She is confident, sexy and hell on heels. She fights with a
straight face, doesn’t back down easily and she has no scruples about using her
ASSets to get the deal done her way.
Kirsten loves the thrill of toying with the game in a man’s
world. She is in control of both her professional and personal life, until one heartbreaking
night changes everything and for the first time she starts losing.
Can Kirsten negotiate the game of love as well as she does
at work?
Can she play a love-em and leave-em game as well as a man
does?
Or did she already lose when her heart was dealt to the one
man who broke it?
Contains crude language, sexual intercourse, and really bad
jokes.
When I first started this book, I wasn’t sure I was going to
like it. The dialogue in the beginning
seemed just not right to me. I had some
serious doubts that this was a story I was going to be able to get into and
even like at all, but I’m glad I stuck with it, because this turned out to be a
pretty good book!
Kristen Backhard is a tough woman in a man’s world. She takes no prisoners in her pursuits in
business. She’s not afraid of much, it
seems. But deep down, she has her own
vulnerabilities, especially when it comes to relationships with her family and
friends. This book follows Kristen as
she negotiates tougher waters than in her business dealing, when she’s trying
to figure out love and family.
Kristen turned out to be pretty badass. I mean, I thought at first she was going to
be some unfeeling sharktress (yeah, I just made that up) but she had some
vulnerabilities and softness about her that really made her human. She’s comfortable with herself, but still has
the normal ups and down of any woman trying to find her way in life and figure
out where she is going in her personal life.
I would have liked a bit more explanation about Kristen and
her relationship with Liz. I admit that
some of the dynamics between the characters were a mystery to me throughout the
book. And Drew…he was adorable. I can totally see why Kristen fell for
him. I hope for this series to continue
so that we can find out more about all of the characters, especially
Derek. I love me some hot hockey
players!
The plot is interesting.
It’s really a character piece, because while there is drama and
misunderstanding, what it’s really about is the characters and their dynamic
with one another.
All in all, once you get through the first bit and really
into the meat of the story, this is a good book. I know that if I had just picked up this book
I may have given up early on, but I’m here to tell you that it gets better and
completely worth it by the end. It’s a
book that will take you through the whole gamut of emotions; it will make you
laugh, it may make you cry, but I think in the end you will be glad you hung in
there. 4 stars.
I heard a phone ring, thinking it belonged to the salon. Nope, not my luck. The crazy wax witch answered her phone wasn’t like I could cover shit with my hands…well, except for my belly button.
“Hello?” I sat up, annoyed and pissed off. “Open vagina here.”“No, I not busy.” She lifted her phone away from her to talk to me. “Two minutes.”
When I looked at those two pointed fingers, I wanted to poke her eyes out with them. I was trying to get up, but she kept pushing by vagina down.
“Wait, we do you hole next.”
Hole next? What the fuck? That was just over the top, even for me, so I just started doing the ugly pregnant laugh-cry. Even if I were to tell someone this story…seriously, who would believe this shit? Fuck my life!
Shawnté
lives in central Alberta, with her husband Ricky of 10 amazing years and
together they have two beautiful children. Somehow her husband has managed to
trick her into running a cow/calf operation. As much as she fusses about it,
she loves it.
When
Shawnté is not sitting at her kitchen table hammering away on her laptop while
watching the moose chase her cows across the yard, yes this really happens.
Then she is busy attend school activities, community events and chauffeuring
children here and there. She is big on playing softball and watching hockey.
When
the time comes to relax, you will find her snuggled underneath her down
comforter reading on her Ipad. Wait…who are we kidding, if the dishes, vacuuming,
laundry or the bathrooms needs a hose down, you’ll always hear her say, “Just
after this chapter.” She doesn’t have a favorite author or best story because
everyday she falls in love with someone new.
Shawnté
is technology challenged so you won’t find her on twitter (heaven knows she
tried) or instagram – whatever this stuff is called. But she can work one hell
of a Facebook page thanks for her
fictitious assistant Lacy. Please go like her page and leave a review/star
rating on the books she’s wrote.
