Sometimes being happily married and completely content is not at all what it seems.
That is what 35 year old, happily married, mother of two, Alexis Summers finds out when she decides it is time to return to work.
After being a stay-at-home mum for the past nine years, Alexis now realizes a complete career change is just what she needs.
She becomes a Concierge Attendant in a prestigious hotel in Melbourne working for the owner of the hotel, Bryce Clark. He resides in the penthouse, is extremely hot, and is a man who always gets what he wants. And what he wants is Alexis.
She does a relatively good job resisting Bryce at first, but the undeniable chemistry, sexual tension, and playfulness between the two of them is intense. He has copious amounts of money, sex appeal and above all else, is a genuinely nice guy. Bryce has been waiting for his one true love to come along, and he is positive that one true love is Alexis.
There is one problem; she is happily married to Rick, and no matter how strong her feelings are for Bryce, she is adamant she will not cheat. She draws a line in the sand, but finds it increasingly hard not to cross. Will she succumb to Temptation?
Review:
Oh wow...oh wow! Did I love this book! Funny, steamy and witty as heck!
Alexis has decided to go back to work full time now that her kids are old enough for school. She's missed the social daily interaction of adult life and is eager to go back at it. Even though her new job is different from what she did pre-children, she is undaunted until she literally runs right into her new boss. That one moment changes the world as she knows it.
"He looked somewhat amused and this time placed his hand on the small of my back, sending excited currents right up and down my spine.
'Ms. Summers, your name is on your ID tag pinned to that soaking blouse of yours, and I am Bryce Clark, your new employer.'
OH SHIT, CRAP, BALLS! What have I done? What I had done was spill my drink all over my boss before I had even started my first shift."
Bryce is charming, brilliant and oh so infuriating, taunting Alexis every chance he gets. The chemistry they share is so palpable you can't help but feel the tingly zing of excitement from their encounters. But there is an obstacle, a huge one at that, standing in their way. Alexis is married to her long-time sweetheart.
"He stepped back and nodded while giving me that smirk.
'Ahhh, Ms. Summers the pleasure has been all mine.'
'Oh, Mr. Clark, by the way, it's Mrs., not Ms.'
Putting two fingers to his lips, he winked and turned, 'I know' he called behind him, and then he was gone."
Alexis's job duties change when Bryce's Assistant takes leave, putting them in closer proximity and more dangerous waters. Tensions run higher and they begin to walk a very thin line. Bryce knows what he wants and isn't afraid to go after it but for Alexis's sake, he tries to hold back and let her make a choice. Alexis is so torn between her growing affection for Bryce and her loyal vows to her husband.
"Don't worry Alexis, I'm not going to kiss you again. Every single entire ounce of me wants to grab you and kiss you until our mouths are dry. Then I want to rip your dress from you, take your underwear off with my teeth, and kiss every fabulous inch of your body...paying a lot of attention to your sexy arse, gorgeous tits and wet..."
"Bryce!" I began, swearing that my heart had stopped beating. I was panting and well and truly lubricated in the very underwear he wanted to tear off me.
"...but I'm not going to Alexis. Not until you tell me you want me too."
Things only get harder and increasingly complicated with Mr. Clark and Alexis can no longer deny what she feels and must face the truth, even if it destroys the one thing she has held dear for so long. She must choose to stay 'comfortable' in her current life or choose the man who owns her body and soul.
