Perfection follows Avery Donaldson everywhere. From her flawless figure and career right down to the perfect man, she has it all. During an impromptu business trip, she meets Nick Foster, an intelligent, attractive man who has informed her that he will be her new boss. Unaware of any new changes to the company, she wants answers. Nick is not able to satisfy any answers, but she finds herself fighting the urge to envision what he can satisfy… When she returns home, she and her boyfriend, Ethan Holloway, have a heated, physical argument that leaves Avery fearing for her life. As she attempts to understand Ethan’s new demeanor, she also tries to keep her professional life from spinning out of control. However, her two worlds collide when her friend ends up murdered and Ethan becomes the prime suspect. Nick offers his help to uncover the truth, but can she put her mounting feelings for him aside and track down the killer before someone else is murdered?
Avery is a young woman working for a newspaper. She wants to get married, settle down and buy a house. But her boyfriend of eight years doesn't want to be "tied down". So she buys the house herself and now has to decide whether Ethan is worth the time or if she should move on. But it really isn't as simple as she thought it would be. Envy isn't pretty! Envy is a very fast paced, on the edge of your seats type of book. Without giving anything away - it has a bit of mystery or intrigue woven into a romance story. It certainly isn't your typical chick lit. I enjoyed the book and couldn't put it down once I started. There were a couple of times that I wished the characters could have been more developed or the story more clear. It mentions Avery's past very vaguely and I wondered if it was just a mention or perhaps I should have already known about it because of a previous book. But all in all it was a good book and I'll be checking out the other books by this author.
I received this book free of charge in exchange for my honest review.
