Zander King
was the “love-em & leave-em” playboy working through a rough patch in his
land developing company. With no business deals coming through and a monthly
loan looming in the not-so-far distance, Zander was up against a wall. When he
discovers that one of his floundering business deals had to do with his detached
father, his focus comes to a stand-still.
“Starry Cove
had the potential of becoming a vacationer’s paradise.” (11)
Then his
father dies, sending him back home to Starry Cove.
Cash-strapped
Savannah was saddened by the loss of her stepdad, whom she was close to. At the
will reading, she runs into her stepbrother, Zander, whom she hadn’t seen since
he left for college. Man, did she have a crush on him back then, and the boy
only got hotter with time. Amidst the sexual tension, Zander and Savannah
realize that the will had granted both of them shared rights to the Starry Cove
property. The dilemma: he wanted to renovate the land, and she was instructed
to vote down his dream project. The
goal: he’d do anything to get her to give in with his “down-and-dirty” game
plan.
“You and I
couldn’t be more different. You’re all about land development. I’m about
preserving the environment.
You want to build
a glitzy stop-n-shop and I want
to honor Kyle’s wishes. You’re an uptight suit and I’m a
carefree spirit. But we are in agreement on one thing. Hooking
up would be wrong. Very, very wrong.” (42)
The two
battle with pent-up passion boiling inside them, until…it explodes.
I thought
this was pretty good. Story was well-outlined and the characters had good
sexual chemistry. The business schematics were a bit dry and, at times, slowed
the pace down. Still, this was a good
love story of the wickedly sinful kind.
My rating: 3 stars
