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.

 20 Fun Facts:

1.  I was bullied as a child. Meekness was my middle name.
2.  I am a huge movie buff. Ask me about any movie created in the last five years, and chances are I've seen it.
3.  I spent my teenage years on a cotton farm in a one-light town in Georgia.
4.  I am a terrible cook and housekeeper. 
5.  Don't ever 'pop in' to our house. Please. You may interrupt something kinky.
6.  I'm a Gemini.
7.  My favorite food is Italian.
8.  My favorite men are Italian.
9.  I have an unnatural attraction to Chris Hemsworth, but only when he wears the Thor cape and carries the hammer.
10.              I graduated from Florida State University but my passion in football lies in the SEC, primarily in Gator Nation.
11.              Originally, I planned to pursue a career in hospitality.
12.              My personal reading tastes are blood and gore, not penises and romantic trysts.
13.              I am a complete lightweight. One margarita, and I am lit.
14.              I have been congratulated for being pregnant over ten times in my life. I have never been pregnant, but my posture and stomach will, at times, convince you otherwise. One lady flat out argued with me about it.
15.              My first love was horses. My first job was at 12, mucking stalls in exchange for lessons. I have done everything from rodeos to dressage.
16.              My biggest fear is that I will die without warning and a book will be left unfinished.
17.              My second biggest fear is that one day one of my parents will break the cardinal rule and read one of my books.
18.              My favorite part of every day is being woken up by my dogs. 
19.              I have often, throughout my life, been accused of being a prude. I wear innocence well. :)
20.              I am on the verge of being 'legally blind'. I do not qualify for lasik surgery because of how poor my eyesight is.
