HER CLIENT FROM HELL by Louisa George is April 2014 release by Harlequin Kiss series.
Cassie ran a catering business but was struggling as her ex and business partner had ran away while emptying her bank account. Then in walked a new client, whom Cassie needed for her business but he was so arrogant!
She could do without Jack's ego, but the sexual chemistry between them was off the charts!
Jack was so not for a commitment. All he was up for was a fling, but would Cassie take a no-strings attached-fling-only relationship from him?
HER CLIENT FROM HELL kept me guessing right from the beginning if these two would ever end up together. It had fun, witty dialogue and scorching sensuality. Author Louisa George did a great job with tortured hero with past grief and turned him into a sensitive hero.
Recommended for all lovers of romance.
4.5 out of 5 stars.

This author is new to me but I am delighted to have discovered her. Great characters and a fabulous story. I loved it! Not a billionaire in sight and an emotionally satisfying read.

Trust is a very rare and special commodity. Once lost it is really hard to get it back. Cassie doesn't think she will ever be able to trust anyone again, especially men.
Jack is wary of all and guards his past like the gold in Fort Knox. Looks like the two of them are at a standoff when it comes to emotions and relationships. That makes working together exceptionally hard and the spark between them is like a Chinese firecracker, loud and hard to ignore.
Cassie is the youngest in her family and as is often the case she is used to people trying to meddle and make decisions in her best interest, because they believe she is incapable of making sound life, business and love choices. Not an entirely wrong assumption based on her past choices and most recent failure.
She is chaotic where Jack is organized, she is late to his punctual, colourful to his bland and impatient where he is the patient one. The complete opposites of each other, so not exactly a recipe for success.
Then again they do say opposites attract and there is most certainly a magnetic attraction going on between the two of them.
This is a saucy little romance about two people with extremely high walls built around them and looking for a way to break them down.
I received a copy of this book courtesy of Harlequin UK and Mills & Boon.

I’ve loved every book by Louisa George that I’ve read. Her books are no brainers for me. I could definitely feel the chemistry between Cassie and Jack. Although I loved their story, there are a couple things that could have made it even more complete and real for me. I would have liked more updates on Sasha and Nate. I read the previous book “Backstage with Her Ex” about Sasha and Nate. Since Cassie and Sasha are sisters I just naturally expected more and was surprised that there was not more girl talk about Jack or Nate.
I would recommend this book as well as all the other books I’ve read by this author and will most likely read this series again.

Jack and Cassie
Jack is in control, organized and self reliant. He wants a reliable, efficient chef to cater his sisters wedding that he's paying this portion for.
Cassie is a whirlwind, always reactive, vibrant chef that is scaling mountains to make things work out.
These two appear to be opposites until they get to know one another.
This book starts off on the slow side- normally I would call it quits if a book cannot get me excited in the first couple of chapters, this time I made an exception.
Good thing too because the late middle and near the end were pretty decent. An attachment battle within, tears, rejection, falling in love and accepting said love fill the pages. You get to understand why each character has been burned and is hard to love another.
The ending was abrupt it could have used an epilogue but otherwise an enjoyable read once it picked up.

May 19, 2018Cassie Sweet was a little scared of trusting anyone after her previous boyfriend/business partner cleaned out her account.
She kept making bad impressions on Jack Brenner who was recommended by her sister and brother in law. He wanted a wedding for his sister who was the only family he'd had in years. Jack was very attracted to her and loved her cooking.
They both fought the attraction but gave up in the end.

Nice story. The heroine is a slightly disorganized caterer and the hero is an in-control documentary film maker. He wants her to cater his sister's wedding, but since he hasn't discussed it with sis yet, she's reluctant to commit. There's a lot of attraction between them, and a lot of push-pull in their interaction. Not a lot of plot. They meet, are drawn to each other and push each other away, then they meet again somewhere else. It's not repetitive, because new bits of the characters are revealed in each scene and other things happen, but trying to think back, I can't recall a lot of plot specifics. (They do spend a day working at the heroine's food booth during a neighborhood festival where she lives in Notting Hill in London.) Anyway, the heroine is trying to recover from a crooked boyfriend who ran off with all her money from the business, plus taking out a big loan in her name, without leaning on her overprotective siblings, since she's still trying to get them to see her as a grownup. The hero is still living cut off from the world due to issues from his past. I got the idea that the issues weren't magically cured at the end of the story, but they were determined to keep working on them. Generally, I like books by Louisa George, but this one seemed to go on with the angsting for huge periods of time. I do like me some good wallowy angst, but the sections of internal narrative got long, and there seemed to be an awful lot of them. Still, it's a good story. I liked it.

Review Posted on HarlequinJunkie.com (4.5 Stars)
Cassie was on the right track for getting her life back together. So why was she always making such a bad impression on Jack Brenner? She was never late to any other engagement, never any mishaps, but with him, it was always something. And never mind the fact that every time he looked at her the air just simmered. Read More

Plenty of heat in the kitchen, and it's not all coming from the stove.
I liked the story but the sexual relationship was a bit graphic for my liking.
I did like the characters. Jack and Cassie were entertaining. Her being late for everything and him being a control freak...

My only wish is that the book was longer. The problems these two have to overcome could be explored more fully in a full length novel and there's definitely enough meat there to entertain us for 100,000 words.

Super cute, but the inevitability got a little boring.
