My Review:
This was an interesting book. I thought that it could easily be a sequel to Pretty Woman, or definitely a remake. Nathan seemed like such a jerk in the beginning of the book. He was using Candy to get what he wanted, even sex. He was rich and he was definitely the boss, in work and in his personal life. Candy was poor and she only accepted his offers because she needed the money. Then there is Drew and Mark. They are Nathan's bodyguards. They are constantly with Nathan, and know his secrets. They never leave him alone. They were all strong characters and I would love to read another book about Mark and especially Drew. I was surprised at how they ended up. I liked the ending and my only complaint is that What Candy decides on the last page should have been further explained. I really liked the crossword clues per chapter and I enjoyed the attachment including the "divorce papers". This was also an erotic story, and it is 18+. I am giving this book a 4/5, because of the last page, and I wish that the author expanded more. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
