Siobhan Brennan is the epitome of an independent woman. She is
feisty with a touch of that brash wittiness that only the Irish can do so well.
Siobhan grew up in a small fishing village in Ireland. She moved to London to
make her way in the world by her own merit. Siobhan was lucky to find a house
with two incredible roommates, Claire and Tara. They make a fun loving trio who
have a lot of laughs and have grown to be true friends.
After getting the shaft on a
deserved promotion at her previous job and finding herself at the cheated on
end of a long term relationship, Siobhan is looking for a fresh start in her
career at least, love can wait. She is offered an interview at Banbury’s, a
prestigious department store in London, and lands the job in short order.
Michael Henrii is the new head of
Banbury’s buying department. He is confident, gorgeous, and more than a little
self assured. Siobhan is attracted to him immediately, but is determined
to dislike him. She knows his type. He’s arrogant, cocky, and way too self
assured for her taste. In her eyes he is a man who probably gets what he is
after far too often.
Siobhan finds herself all too
quickly on the fast track to more responsibility at Banbury’s catching her a
bit off guard as she was not expecting to take on so much so soon. She proves
herself up to the task though continued run in’s with Michael leave her
confused about his motives and intentions. It doesn’t help that scene’s of him
as a stern schoolmaster keep creeping into her thoughts unbidden. Before she
realizes what happened she finds herself agreeing to a date with him. After a
wonderful date the heat level rises when she goes home with him for the night.
I needed a cold shower after those delectable scenes.
Siobhan was on cloud nine after
the satiating night and morning they shared. However, Siobhan’s inner conflict
over Michael’s stern, bossy, yet incredibly sexy ways comes to a head at lunch.
Determined to pay the bill even though she has agreed to allow Michael
the honor she slips the waiter payment under the guise of visiting the ladies
room. Michael is furious. A clash of wills ensues with Siobhan lashing out and
Michael being quietly stern; reining in his fury until they get back to
Siobhan’s house.
“You think this is about
you paying for lunch? Maybe it started that way Siobhan, but honestly, the way
you yelled and swore, you were like a three year old having a tantrum. With a
foul mouth like that, you deserve a good spanking.”
Uh oh, he really shouldn’t
have said that. The headmaster image was back in my head in a flash and boy,
was I ready to play out the role of the naughty schoolgirl. The thought was
really hot. I could feel something deep inside me stirring an awakening of my
true self.”
I’m sure you can guess what
happens next and this takes their relationship to a whole new level.
Something awakens inside of them that they just can’t squelch or deny.
The flames engulf as they begin to explore this lifestyle that they stumbled
into. Without giving anything away I am going to say it is HOT, HOT, and
SCORCHING HOT! As you read their sizzling exchanges and conflicts they hit
along the way you will be pulled along. Siobhan’s fear of commitment along with
the normal ups, downs, and doubts that come with this type of relationship keep
you on your toes, and wow, just wait for the incredible plot twist that comes
out toward the end of the book! You will be so glad you decided to pick up this
book.
