Ms Napier obviously picked up her heroine at the Boneless Chicken Ranch. Honestly! The woman couldn't stand up to either of the a-holes in her life. And why, please tell me, did those two even want her? The men were arrogant bullying cavemen and she was a nail-biting idiot. The plot wasn't any better. You really can't make the tension very believable when a 10 minute adult conversations would solve most of the problems.

The Dear Author blog has started a daily deal feature, and it’s just killing me. That is I’m hitting that download button a few too many times, but here’s another example of why it’s worth it.
This is a category book from Harlequin Presents circa 1999 reissued on digital. It was a quick read and well done story.
Even though you know you’ll get a happy ending eventually, the author did a good job of keeping you guessing. The first several chapters each ended with a bit of a surprise.
There are aspects of the story that are over the top including the set-up, both the hero Duncan and the “villain” are the owners of rival software companies. Our heroine, Kalera, is a widow. Her husband died in a mass shooting as a “national hero.” This is not that surprising given this line of the category, however. At the beginning of the story adjectives, adverbs, and long sentences are overused, but either it slowed down as the story progressed or I got used to it.
Despite these minor flaws, it was a great example of what a category should be. Although the characters and the settings are beyond the ordinary, the romance is believable and interesting. The author’s writing style reflects a good light sense of humor without trying too hard.
(I’d provide more detail regarding the story but once again failed to write the review right away after reading the book . . .)
Definitely worth a reread in the future.

I like it but the end was so abrupt that it seems incomplete: one moment she was engaged with Stephen, a jealous man who was still in love with his ex wife and the next she was trapped in his boss mansion, and he declared his feeling for her, and she admitted that she loved him too.
Duncan Royas was a typical male character bu I love that he was so irreverent: he had a software company but he were an earing and was like a natural force in the office. I like nerd boys, my boyfriend is oe of them but my secret fantasies are about this handsome and dynamics men.
