A satisfying category romance from Entangled’s brand new Lovestruck imprint…
Seducing the enemy has never been so tempting…
For the last five years, bookish Claire Williams has been living for the dying. Now that her stint as caretaker is over, she’s off to see the world. She needs quick cash first, so a temp job at Anderson Auctions seems perfect, especially with the unexpected benefits, including the hottest man she’s ever laid eyes—or hands—on.
Former Marine William Anderson has been burned one time too many. His military training makes him the perfect man to flush out the spy undercutting his family business, but no amount of training can prepare him for the kind of undercover work he’ll have to do when the sexy new temp is implicated. Desire lands them in bed…but duty may cost him his heart
Scoring an Anderson is like spotting a Sasquatch. They are elusive, mysterious, and larger than life-if you know what I mean.”
Now when you say ‘larger than life’, you do mean…?
Oh you do, do you?! SOLD! Where do I sign up? Do you need my resume? I’m all over this. Seriously.
But all kidding aside, Marissa Clarke now has herself a brand new fan. I’ve been loving every book that’s been releasing under Entangled’s new Lovesstruck line and this book was no exception. Marissa Clarke is a new to me author and definitely one who I will be on a lookout for from now on.
Now I like the whole dating the boss trope just fine, but this book offered a very different and refreshing take on something that’s been done very many times before. Did I happen to mention that the “boss” in question also happens to be a sinfully sexy former Marine?
I won’t regurgitate the plot for you since everything you need to know you’ll find in the synopsis. But what I will tell you is that this is a book you’ll happily read in one sitting from beginning to end. Will and Claire were both characters I loved from the very start. Claire is one of those heroines that’s so endearingly quirky, you simply can’t help but like her. A woman prone to accidents that she now refers to as Claire-isms, whenever she had another one it never failed to put a smile on my face.
As for Will, what can I possibly tell you besides that fact that he will equal parts make you swoon and drool. This book offers the perfect combination of sweet and steamy with a fantastic story to boot. I especially loved the super sweet ending.
A wonderful story from beginning to end that no doubt will appear to any lover of the contemporary romance genre. I definitely recommend this and look forward to more books for this series. I’m not sure which Anderson brother I want to read about sooner? Both at the same time? What? Too greedy? Regardless, this was the perfect start to what I hope will be a fantastic series.
When not writing, she wrangles her rowdy pack of three teens, husband, and a Cairn Terrier named Annabel, who rules the house (and Marissa’s heart) with an iron paw.
