~ Synopsis ~
Uncovering this sexy geek’s charm is easy. Keeping her hands off of him is
impossible.
While he may look like the love child of a movie
starlet and an NFL linebacker, Ben Langley has the people skills of a
half-drowned porcupine. Why socialize when there are chemistry labs and bad
sci-fi flicks? If he has any hope of taking the helm as CEO of the family
business, Ben needs an image makeover. Pronto.
Enter Holly Colvin, owner of First Impressions public
relations and branding firm, and the woman who just saved Ben from the clutches
of an over-attentive sales clerk. Holly’s rebranded hundreds of companies in
her career, but she’s never rebranded a person. The guy clearly needs help,
though, and she’s just the woman for the job.
With the clock ticking for them both, Holly and Ben
face off over wardrobe malfunctions and business jargon that sounds a lot
sexier than it should. But can Holly make Ben into the man he thinks he should
be without losing the man she’s starting to love?

“Yes,”
Holly said, surprised by the breathlessness in her own voice. “I want you, you
want me, and I’m tired of fighting it. Take the next exit, please.”
“Where
are we going?” His hand moved a fraction of an inch up her thigh, and Holly
nearly moaned with pleasure.
“You
don’t have a bed, and my place is too far away. There’s a hotel right up there
and it seems like the surest way to have you inside me within five minutes.”
“Yes,
ma’am.” Ben grinned and slid his hand further up her thigh. “And this is why
you’re well-qualified to coach me on assertiveness. You’re a woman who knows
what she wants.”
“I
think you’ve mastered a few things yourself, Mr. CEO.” She watched his hand
slide further up her thigh as he pushed her skirt up higher.
“Yes,
but a little hands-on experience is always valuable if I’m really going to get
behind the issue for some strategic interplay.”
She
grinned, pretty sure this was the first time anyone had attempted to use
business jargon as a seduction tool. “I think I can slot you in.”
“Excellent.
I’d like to touch base on the liquidity of your assets as soon as possible.”
He
shoved her skirt higher and Holly let her legs fall apart. Ben accepted the
invitation, his fingers grazing the satin center of her panties, and Holly
heard herself gasp.
“God
yes!” she gasped, pressing against his fingertips. “Right there.”

A quick enjoyable read in which the "geek" gets the girl. I am not a fan of "insta-love" and therefore some of this story was hard for me to accept.
Ben and Holly meet by chance but their paths crossing could be the answer to all of Holly's prayers both emotionally, physically and financially. And that's where some of my concerns started to arise with Holly. Would this all just be about the money or would it turn into more than that?
Ben is looking to improve his image as he moves to take over as CEO of the family company. When he meets Holly he gets more than he bargins for. For me, Ben was supposed to be a geek striving to become more of an alpha male but his dialogue was just not that. Had I now known that he was a techie I would have just assumed he was a foul mouthed alpha from the start.
Their chemistry was cute, but all to fast for me. I think I would have been more accepting had they not been soo quick to "satisfy" one another. The "business" sexual innuendos tended to take away from the development of the story as well.
Now, I didn't love this book but I did enjoy most of it. That being said, just because it wasn't for me doesn't mean it won't be for you.
