Synopsis

Excerpt:

What am I doing here? Brooke had been asking herself that question for the past six weeks. The thirty-three-year-old vice president seemed to have it all, yet it felt as if her career ladder and life had crashed. Hoping to move on, relocating to the new company had officially backfired. All the blind dates set up by her well-meaning inner circle—her father, Melissa, Shane, and Todd—had fizzled before hors d’oeuvres. Online dating turned into mis-matched.com. Damn Tanner.

Feeling claustrophobic in this stuffy room, the corporate strangers eyed her like a piñata and they were clenching bats. The stiff dress code mirrored the culture, and both felt about as comfy as tweed pajamas.

Suddenly, the boardroom hushed. All eyes pointed to the entryway like canines at obedience training graduation. Except for Brooke, whose back faced the door. She craned her neck; a whisk of air drew her to the opposite direction, followed by a masculine scent of sandalwood and cedar. Seductive.

Mr. Smellgood looked striking from the side. His physique matched his fragrance. He set his fancy briefcase at the head of the table—mahogany on mahogany. As if revealing a game show prize, he slid off his navy suit coat. Brooke’s eyes widened as he draped it over the high-backed leather chair. He had a rugged build she expected to see on a mountain climber or surfer, but not on an executive for a drug company. Brooke’s instant attraction surprised her.

My Review

I have to say that overall I really enjoyed the story. There were some spots in the story where I felt as though there was just too much mundane detail. I wanted the story to move just a little faster.

Brooke though I understood her and some of the situations she got herself into I felt as though there were times I just wanted to smack her upside the head and say "really" and go from there.  However, during those times it didn't take away the connection I felt with her.  I believe everyone can connect to Brooke in some way.

As for Chase, he had me scratching my head for the longest time. I liked him, I routed for him but I was like how can you be so blind. I was angry and hurt for him at the same time. There were parts in this story that really tugged at my heart.

I would diffidently recommend this story for others to read.  It really makes you think about what you would do in a situation that Brooke and Chase found themselves, either as individuals and/or as a couple.
