A Great Read from Start to Finish:
Alex Trahern is a person bent on revenge from the one person who he feels is responsible for his father's death, John Harrison. He has accumulated as much information he could in order to help cement a deal for a hostile take over of John's company Hypertron. This includes a picture of Isabel who Alex has always thought was beautiful. But being the enemy's daughter has prevented him from acting on his obsession with her. But when Isabel contacts Marcus Danvers to offer him a better position, Alex decides to pay her a visit. When Isabel meets Alex for the first time she is disturbed by his presence, but regardless of her inner feelings for him she holds her ground and stands up to him. Although Alex is a tall, dark, handsome and a powerful person, Isabel is the beautiful, kind and sweet person that throws him for a loop. The sexual chemistry is strong from the first meeting, and Alex has decided that he must have her, as his own, and thinks that by marrying her he can deflect her leaving him when she finds out about his revenge plan. This is a book that shows how Isabel, with her love for him, can turn the determined and at times hard-headed Alex around. Lucy Munroe takes us on an journey with two strong characters and the twists and turns that comes before the final showdown, all the while showing you the human aspects of them both. She also does a great job of laying the foundation for Marcus to have his own story. This was a great read, which left you wanting for more and I look forward to her next book.

A Fair Read!:
Alex Trahern is driven by revenge. He plans on playing a part in destroying the man he hold responsible for his father's death. John Harrison's company is ripe for a hostile take over and Alex is going to make sure that the man has nothing left when he's done with him. But when his beautiful daughter Isabel Harrison puts herself directly in his path he has to wonder if he will be able to keep the lady while destroying her father. Isabel Harrison is a headhunter for the corporate world. When a client request she get in contact with Marcus Danver's, Alex Trahern's she has no idea that her life is about to change. She is drawn to the dark handsome Alex, but she is not sure she can trust him with her heart or her dreams. When she finds out Alex's secret will she be able to forgive him or will she end up believing she can never have her happy family? This story had a great deal of potential. Ms. Monroe knows how to create a wonderful alpha male but this time around Alex was almost a little over the top. It was hard to understand where Alex and Isabel "fell in love." Isabel was a sweet character and managed to hold her own with her hero. But, the constant litany of "can I trust him?" became tedious after awhile. Ms. Monroe did manage to create a wonderful chemistry between her two main characters and that was perhaps the saving grace on this read.
