Olinda was looking forward to the conference in Miami: all her hard work had paid off, and she deserved this trip. But the conference hadn't even begun when her world exploded with the arrival of Guy de Chevalley, the man who represented everything she loathed and despised in the male of the species. Arrogant in the extreme, cold, cruel and calculating but, worst of all, he was the real reason behind her sister's suicide.
When Olinda reacted by making a silly mistake she found herself glued to the man's side, all day - and all night, if he so snapped his manicured fingers. Then she had an idea which would bring him to his knees.
This was boring. Gosh, there was no chemistry or tension. There wasn’t any angst. Heck, there was no purpose! Neither characters fully had a purpose…you see the story just keeps going on in a non-productive way, no character or plot development because nothing exactly happens. She has a dead sister, and he has many enemies? Okay, what about it? And what’s next?
Really, Olinda was just useless, but pretty? Idk, but I found her distasteful and a turn off. In the first or second chapter, after she stole his recorder and he confronted her, she wasn’t smart. She denied it and keeps repeating that she didn’t know how the recorder fell into her purse…she didn’t steal it she swears. What a classic excuse! At that, I very prefer she finally admit to it, at least then I can applaud her for her integrity and accountability but trying to continuously lie when she was caught wasn’t cute! I wonder what he saw in her. Why he even bothered with her afterwards baffles me. Do not recommend.
"For suddenly Olinda realised, as he turned away from her, that this longing within her would never be fulfilled. Though to him she was just one woman among a thousand, a passing diversion, soon to be forgotten, she at that moment would have traded her soul just to hear him murmur one single word of love."
