Anything He Wants
Lucy
Delacourt's temp position isn't quite her dream job but it pays the
bills. The highlight of her day is riding the elevator in the mornings
with a handsome stranger. But everything changes when the stranger
seduces her. Completely out of character, she yields without a fight,
but she has no idea her wanton acts with a man whose name she doesn't
know will change her life forever. Because the sexy stranger is none
other than Jeremiah Hamilton, billionaire CEO of Hamilton Industries,
and one taste isn't nearly enough to satisfy his need.
Castaway
As
the billionaire pulls Lucy deeper into his world of high stakes
business deals and ruthless takeovers, he demands nothing less than her
complete surrender. But Jeremiah has no place in his life for love, and
as Lucy falls deeper for him, she risks having her heart shattered.
Making matters worse, Jeremiah’s fiercest rival is determined to steal
Lucy’s affection…and to do it, he’ll show her the sinister side of
Jeremiah’s opulent world. With nowhere to turn and no one to trust,
there’s only one thing Lucy knows for sure: she’ll never be free from
Jeremiah’s sweet possession.
I have to admit something, I am a little sick of the normal
girl/billionaire man dynamic in books.
Over it. I think a story has to
be really special in order to take me out of my billionaire hero funk, and this
book really didn’t do that for me.
Lucy has a boring and troubled life.
She has a job, which happens to include an elevator ride with a handsome
stranger every morning that brightens her days and gives her something to look
forward to. One day, the handsome
stranger seduces her, and that sets in motion a chain of events that she was
never expecting.
I guess the one word to sum up this book for me would be
underwhelming. I’m not sure I was really
expecting anything big, but in the end it just all fell a bit flat for me. The characters, the plot…all of it has just
been done so many times. There are parts
that were good, I thought the espionage and intrigue were good and there was
one part in particular that was a bit shocking for me, but at the end of the
day it’s just all been done. A lot.
Lucy was not a character that I liked or felt a connection with, and
Jeremiah while sweet in parts, just seemed like a bit of a recycled Christian
Grey. Sure, there were differences, but
he’s an intense and dominant billionaire CEO.
I just couldn’t do it.
Overall, this book wasn’t written poorly, I just couldn’t get into the
characters or the plot. 3 stars.
