The individuals you are told to stay away from and know you should stay away from are some of the most intriguing and enticing ones. This story is no different. Brad De Luca has a reputation, a man whose web is so tangled that it taints the perception of anyone who gets caught up in it. Julia Campbell is just trying to do her job, not interested in being another notch on Brad's belt. But you can't really say no to someone who is used to always getting what they want.

"He emitted, even across the large office, a wave of power, intelligence. . . and sexuality."

The story read quickly for me. I was intrigued to find out how Julia was going to be able to keep Brad at bay or hold her own against him. I loved that she was able to stand her ground, even when she knew she couldn't resist him any longer. Brad is still a complex character, the author not revealing much below the surface for a long while. But I adored Julia's character and want to read on to see how this character continues to grow while finding her foothold in a very adult world. ( )

Review to follow by omg what a series! ( )

This was a fairly good read. Popular story premise but still the writting is good enough to keep me engaged. ( )

I stared into his eyes, pools of so many complex things I didn’t understand. I only knew one thing. I wanted him so badly it hurt, aches between my legs. I knew it wasn’t right-I knew I was one of hundreds, but I didn’t care. I wanted him more than I had ever wanted anything in my life.

Well hello there Mr. De Luca, where have you been all my life?! I fully realize that he may come off as cocky, arrogant, and self-serving, but all those qualities are some of what attracted me to him. Cocky was really confident. Arrogant was really assured in what he had and could do. And self-serving was not being afraid to go after what he wanted. He was completely confident in these qualities and you were full aware of what you were getting into from the beginning.

“For a good girl, I assure you, I can be very bad.”

Do you want to know what I really loved about this book? I loved that while there was hesitation to the unknown, the main female character just went for it. She was confident in herself and in a genre where the female usually very insecure, it was very refreshing! I would say that she came into her sexual self in this book, but really she just unleashed what was always there. Brad brought out her best qualities and she did the same for him. Sometimes when you aren’t looking, what you need the most enters your life and knocks you flat on your tail. It was rejuvenating watching all his walls break down. Neither of them entered this book looking for love, but love found them in the most delicious way. And probably not in the way you are thinking…

“What if what we’re looking for is each other?”

Wow. I don't even know where to begin with this one. I couldn't put it down once I started. It was HOT!! That being said I loved that there was actually a storyline to go with the sexy stuff. This is the second book I have read by Ms. Torre and I am hooked! The thing I have noticed about her writing that I love so much is that it pulls you in so far that you tune everything else out.

I really liked Julia! She is beautiful and she knows it...BUT she isn't really promiscuous. She's not going out there and hooking up with random people. She just loves the thrill of the chase. She is pre law and interning at firm. That is how she meets Brad De Luca. She is warned away from him by the lawyer she is interning under. No one explains to her why she should stay away. But once she meets him it becomes clear. He oozes sex appeal. He is a top divorce lawyer. Women wait months to have him represent them in their divorce settlement. Not only because he's good in the courtroom, no because he's good in the bedroom afterwards.

Julia tries to ignore the pull she feels towards Brad, but the more she is around him the harder it becomes. He can't ignore the pull towards her either. There is just one thing standing in front of them. Brad has a certain sexual appetite. I want to say it surprised me, but it didn't. I picked up on the clues about it. But I loved Julia's reaction to it. An though it is not something for me, it was freakin hot!

If you want a steamy, sexy read that still has character and relationship build up, then this one is great! ( )
