Reviews
- Publishers Weekly Review:
“This tightly-written New York City romance is also a page-turner about family and loyalty in the corporate world. Having recently inherited the post from her grandfather, Emma Warwick is the young but dedicated CEO of a struggling tea company. She balks at her attraction to corporate raider Stefano Marek, who – one way or another – wants to acquire secret new technology that Emma possesses in order to use it against people who have wronged his sister and parents. Though a plot point that has Stefano toiling as Emma’s assistant initially feels forced (especially since he’s simultaneously trying to seduce her and get her software), the author makes it work. Emma and Stefano are both successfully brought to life as reliable businesspeople who would do anything for their families. The narrative stumbles as the protagonists succumb to each other and engage in overwrought sex scenes filled with cheesy dialogue, but the story’s believable plot twists compensate for its flaws.”
