Number one on Emma's to-do list upon arriving in Geneva is to buy a yacht for her employer. Not that Emma's daunted; she's got ice in her veins. From business deals to personal relationships, she knows she's got her priorities straight.
Naughty by night...
But it's not just Kastler's yacht that has caught her eye. The dark and handsome businessman is making Emma break every rule she has. Will one moment of passion be enough to tear down her walls?
Laney Castro likes backpacking, craft beer, deep tissue massages, and Mexican food. She is always getting herself into one scrape after another, all in the pursuit of a good story (or a cute guy). She’s a huge swim fan, and she’s hoping all this writing will help her score seats at the Rio Olympics.
This is the first book that I read from Laney Castro and I'm actually impressed with her writing style. Not the typical way of how a Filipino romance novelist.
I like how mysterious Noah Kastler is and Emma as a very amazing woman. These two have different personalities and it is interesting to read their views with life and career. I'm very happy when they both have the same interest especially about a specific author.
I enjoyed the story a lot and I like the ending. I can't wait to read more of your books, Miss Laney Castro!
What's not to love here? The Geneva setting was something different, and Inloved that the characters bonded over a writer, and the steamy scenes were incredibly ~hot! Looking forward to hearing this read live!

OMG T_T I LOVE THIS!!!!!
Shorter than I'd have liked, I am so happy with this freaking thing. The writing immediately pulled me in with Emma and UGH I just devoured her. I LOVE HER. She was so used to being in the back that she found a way to keep herself safe. Bad habit, I know, but I just wanted to put her in my pocket. I loved her Ice Queen facade with an energetic smile hiding behind it. Her time with Noah was both cute, smooth and just- I have no other words to describe it. My eyes ate up every single word and I felt both awkwardly hot (reading this in the same room as my family, people) and sad (as in sadly, I cried like a mental and should be used to my parents' odd looks by now).
I commend Ms. Castro for getting to the route of many problems in relationships and being able to put so much into such a small(ish) story! I think I cried and laughed faster than my mind could keep up with. Somehow it was a quick and entertaining read but maintained that heart that I love to find in authors' works.
It was a nice pace and everything fit in quite well for the length. The ending was clean and swift, it left me wanting more, and I kinda do/kinda don't want another book mostly because it's more Emma and Noah and because it may mean there'll be another issue and I don't know if my heart can take another too-relatable heart break. o.o Definite recommend!
