Fun Book to Read,
By A Customer
Ce commentaire est de: Risque Business (Paperback)
This book is an easy, quick and fun read. It is light-hearted and as good as any romance novel on the market. It provides a pleasant break from some of heavier topics but still has substance. The main characters have engaging personalities. Even the secondary characters have great supportive personalities. The characters are sometimes just plain funny. The poor reviews are not deserved.

Back Cover description: IN LOVE WITH THE ENEMY. Only a few weeks till Christmas and I'm in danger of losing the job I love and the only family I've ever really known-all thanks to devastatingly gorgeous Marcus Grey. Sure, Marcus has his reasons for wanting to take over the company, but I'm determined to do anything to stop him, even if that means spending time with him...alone, out of the office. After all, it's for the good of Colette, Inc. So what if I wind up losing something even more important...like my heart?This wasn't the worst in the 20 AMBER COURT series, but only one of them was worth reading and this wasn't one of them. Read THE BACHELORETTE by Kate Little instead.

Sylvie Bennett will not stand by and just let Marcus Grey take over the company where she's worked for five years without a fight. Colette, Inc. has become her family -- something of special importance to this orphan. When Sylvie boldly charges into the board meeting to confront Marcus, she's prepared to risk her job in order to have her say. Her interruption is fortuitous as her interruption distracts Marcus from his intended purpose.In exchange for a dinner date, Marcus promises to not take any actions against Colette, Inc. during the day's meeting. Marcus is intrigued by a woman who feels so strongly about a company in which she has no ownership. Before that dinner date occurs, however, Sylvie goes online to research a cryptic remark Marcus makes that indicates his motivations. It's not hard to locate a link between Marcus' late father and Colette, Inc. It's very hard, however, to dissuade Marcus from exacting his revenge. On one hand, I am left with some ambivalent feelings for this hero and heroine. During the first half of the book each so intent upon their individual agendas that they scarcely see beyond their own selfish interests except when their libidos get in the way. They engage in playing games of one upsmanship: he sends gifts that she refuses to acknowledge, he promises to call and then leaves her hanging. I wanted to shake the both and tell them to grow up, which they do during the second half of the book as they become self honest and lower their guards to reveal the vulnerability beneath. On the other hand, I adore the premise of this series, in which a dazzling broach leads each woman to the man of her dreams. The owner of the broach and landlady of 20 Amber Court is an intriguing and delightful lady who deserves her own book. Also, the connection of this landlady to Sylvie is surprising and refreshing. Sylvie herself is a powerful character as shown by her brash interruption of the board meeting that had the power to dissolve the company she loves. Likewise appealing is Marcus' shift of motives and his realistic fear of vulnerability regarding a woman he doesn't want to need. RISQUÉ BUSINESS therefore comes recommended.
