This book follows Pepper who has a club but is being stalked by a man who fills her lust though things are getting mysterious and bad. I have read The Intern by Mann which I LOVED but I have to say that I was disappointed with this book. From the beginning, I kind of already wasn't liking it as it started off differently than what I liked. I felt that I couldn't get connected to the characters or the plot and felt left out of the story. The story was way too short and very fast-paced which made the story feel incomplete. There were many key elements left out of the story. The story was more smut based (which started from the beginning) than plot. With not getting a connection with the characters, I didn't care about the spice. I know this is the fifth book of the series and I haven't read the others so I'm not sure if I would feel the same if I did read the other books.
This book is told from both Bale and Pepper's pov. Bale is some sort of agent who is stalking Pepper for his client though he's falling in love with her. Pepper owns the club and once she gets a piece of Bale, she can't stop thinking about him. The characters weren't poorly written, it was just the way they were introduced, not getting much information and not feeling the connection. They did develop but I wish I enjoyed their characters. There aren't many side characters except two who were barely on the page. The story very much involved Pepper and Bale. The romance is forbidden romance and stalker romance which has quite of bit of steamy scenes.
The ending was not the best as it was very rushed and ended abruptly. There was an epilogue which was cute. Sadly I didn't love this book like I hoped to have as I have read and loved The Intern so much. This book didn't have any memorable scenes for me and I just think its the way the story was so rushed. If you want to start off with her series, I recommend The Dalton Family.
