Persuasive to the max, Sierra lands the positionand, eventually, the manthough her independent streak and his ruthless reputation and tragic past make their relationship anything but easy. Memorable supporting characters (including a couple of enigmatic bodyguards who deserve their own stories) add breadth and a touch of humor to this well-written, character-driven story, the latest in Ray's popular Grayson family series (see "Irresistible You"). Although the vivid descriptions of the superwealthy lifestyle will appeal to fans who like their romance with a dusting of glitz, it is the sizzling sexual tension between the protagonists and their evolving relationship that will keep readers hooked.
