Lila Maxwell is falling in love with her gorgeous boss Nicholas Camden. In the midst of a possible hostile takeover at Colette Inc their passion explodes on the executive desk.
Lila's love & devotion for Nick are true but Nick's issues from his past prevents him from having a committed & lasting relationship now....regardless of how much he desperately desires Lila.
What a sexy story! The passion & conflict between this couple makes for a fantastic page turner. It is the second book
in a mini series 20 Amber Court which I found very satisfying.
Lila is a forever type of person. Her past makes her very aware of what other people think about her and she is determined to have a clean reputation. This could be problematic if she wants to have a relationship with Nick, because she does not want anyone to think badly of her for being involved with the boss.
Nick and Lila both come with a lot of baggage. At one point in the story I thought, "enough all ready". I was tired of seeing them drag their feet, because both of them were trying to come up with excuses to break up, when they both wanted to be together. There was a big point made about the company that they work for being in danger of a hostile takeover, but we never find out what happens, or how it affects the characters. I hate to write a negative review, but in this case I had to. Besides reading about their pasts, and all of the reasons that they should not be together I found very little else that happened in this book.
Lila left behind sunny Florida for Indiana for a chance to start over, without rumor dogging her every move. She has a wonderful apartment at Amber Court, a job she loves, and a boss to die for. But when Nick suddenly begins to look at her as if she's a scrumptious dessert, and her job is threatened by the take over, life becomes very unstable. A steamy encounter of Nick's desk leaves her reeling with emotional intensity of their lovemaking and a possible pregnancy. Now she wants to be the one to teach him to trust his heart. But the question remains as to the damage she may receive to her own heart.
I admit to being a bit torn about reviewing SOME KIND OF INCREDIBLE, simply because this is the era of political correctness. Most corporations forbid relationships between a VP and his administrative assistant simply because he's the boss and holds unfair advantage over his employee. Fears of sexual harassment lawsuits rule our era. Indeed, at one point the hero briefly entertains and rejects the impulse to fire his admin simply to make his life simpler after he's incurred incredible emotional complications. Furthermore, the heroine worries throughout the book about her reputation if anyone learns she's dating the boss. Nevertheless, this is the substance of genre fiction, and fantasy shouldn't be ruled out because it is politically incorrect. And author Katherine Garbera is a master of the forbidden encounter on company property, as she demonstrates in SOME KIND OF INCREDIBLE. Highly recommended.
