Passion was never in the bargain.Addison Reed lost her fiancé, but she’ll do whatever it takes to protect his legacy. When the gorgeous and arrogant landowner, Brazilian billionaire Bruno Duarte, who is thwarting her at every turn, refuses to meet with her, she puts her plan into action.
He will listen to her.

EXCERPT
“If you want to sleep with someone, just be
discreet about it. But don’t lie to me. I can’t stand lies.” Her voice trembled
at first and gained strength at the end.
He couldn’t help the way his lips curled into a smile. “I
do want to sleep with someone.”
She bit her lip and nodded with quiet dignity. “Thank you
for your honesty.”
“I won’t be the least discreet about it.” He stepped
closer, feasting on the shape of her luscious lips, the vein pulsing on her
neck. “In fact, when it does happen, we’ll need soundproof walls.”
Not wanting to miss her reaction, he stared into her eyes
and enjoyed the blend of surprise and surrender in them. Her ragged breath
overpowered the sound of faraway crickets and frogs. He had promised not to
kiss her, and he hadn’t. But, by God, he hadn’t promised not to touch her. Not
to share every filthy thought that crossed his mind.
Without being able to resist, he closed the remaining gap
between them. With slightly trembling fingers, he outlined the waves of her
hair ever so carefully. Maintaining control proved a hard task, and he feared
if she responded, he would pull her against him and kiss her with the lust
lodged in his throat.
“That’s exaggerating.”
“Not for what I have in mind.” He stroked her cheek with
the back of his hand. She gasped, and he smothered a groan. Every time she was
near him, his resolve to keep her at an arm’s length evaporated. With her
eyelashes shadowing her freckled cheeks and pink, parted lips, Addie’s state of
arousal confirmed what her words tried to mask—she wanted him.
He dipped his head down, coming close to breaking his
promise not to kiss her unless she verbally asked him.
My Review: 4.5 stars
This was such a good book from start to finish. I loved how Addie kidnapped Bruno only to have that fall apart when she found out what had happened. These two had instant chemistry, but fought that because of many reasons. The least of which was the land that they both had different ideas for. I did love that they found a way forward, together. The story and characters were fantastic, I couldn't put it down until the last page and then I wanted more.
