Executive Decision

by Holley Trent

Secretary Ellen works in a headhunting office that handles most of its business by phone. When one job candidate, a marine engineer named Christian, drives to Edenton to assess the firm's legitimacy, he recognizes Ellen from something she thought was well in her past. When the sexual magnetism between Ellen and Christian boils over on the waterfront, they attempt a tryst that leaves them both feeling unsatisfied.

Christian sees Ellen as the mermaid of his fantasies and wants to build on their chance encounter, but does Ellen want to be caught in his net or will she swim off to get her satisfaction elsewhere?

Reviews

[Anya Breton · Rating 5 out of 5]

Executive Decision is a fun quickie with a snarky heroine and a hot guy. The details are a hoot and the liaison sexy.
Oh and Ellen...nice shirt!

[Richard Goodrum · Rating 2 out of 5]

Unfulfilling erotica. Doesn't seem like a complete story. Ellen is interesting but not well put together as a character. Christian has an even less developed character.

Easy-to-read. Entertaining. Steamy. Tragic. Twisted. Unpredictable. Wonderful characters.

I received a copy of this book as a gift from the author. This is my honest review.

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review. I thought it was a cute quick story and a pretty good read. I like that the story ends with them still playing on the picture of her on the boat. Must have been a pretty hot picture that he couldn't get it out of his mind!

Kind of a cute story. I don't like the ending and never did figure it all at. I was given a free copy of this book for an honest review

[Cheryl Graham-Petit · Rating 4 out of 5]

A short, quick read with a tell it like it is heroine and a sexy hero. My only complaint about this book was the ending. Although it is a HEA, it left me with lots of questions.
