"Jack McLachlan is a winemaking magnate and easily one of Australia's most eligible bachelors. His success and wealth make him no stranger to the complications of romantic relationships and that's why he goes to extreme measures to avoid the hassle. He prefers simplicity in the form of a beautiful female companion with no strings attached. He arranges relationships like business deals and they're always the same. It's his game and his rules. He's content to play as usual, but when Laurelyn Prescott enters his life, his strategy must change because this player is like none he's ever encountered. His world is turned on its head after he begins a three month affair with the beautiful American musician. Nothing goes according to plan and as he breaks more and more of his own rules for her, she's exceptionally close to becoming something he never thought possible. His ultimate game changer"--p.

Beauty... Pain... Love... Denial.... This book is almost heartbreaking! How can two people be in such denial of what they share? Lauren is too afraid to show her true feelings in fear of Jack sending her packing. Jack refusing to have areal relationship and admit real feelings can exist inside of him. They are both wounded from different things. They are two people cut from different cloths.... admitting love is the worst thing possible to both of them. Lauren's heart has been deceived in the past. Jack has never really allowed his heart to feel. A three month arrangement brings both of these anti-lovers to crumbles. When their time is up, they both find themselves full of pain and regret. The merging of these two hearts is so gut-wrenching. This story is a train wreck that you want to watch with anticipation. It is almost hard to see these two not finding their happy ending. I could not put this book down. I wanted to slap these characters for denying themselves what was right in front of their faces. I am definitely awaiting the second book in this series with hopes that things will work out the way I would like.... ( )

It's been a long time since I read an erotic romance book and I don't think I could've chosen a better book than this one. It gave me that feeling that this is something different and somehow it has been different...tho' I could predict from the beginning a few things, typical details found in books like these. Also, I appreciated this book's lack of bdsm stuff because I could've bet she will end tied up or some shit like that but to my surprise, everything went pretty nice and not dirty. I would recommend this one to anyone who wants to start reading books like this. ( )

It's a great story, some good steaminess and I loved both characters. I loved how they fall in love and I did love the ending!! It's a cliffhanger...but a good one!! I know the next book will be so good and hold so much promise! I loved the whole idea of the book. Jack just wants a no strings attached fling for 3 months and then they are supposed to walk away from each other. Well as you can imagine, they fall in love and that is not so simple anymore. ( )

ztrata casu (mela jsem to cist v AJ, aspon bych se ucila jazyk). Nechala jsem se zmast nazvem a oznacenim "erotica- BDSM". Z BDSM tam neni vubec nic a samotny pribeh nema ani mikrometr neceho originalniho (ja vim,to zni u tohoto zanru blbe, ale vetsinou maj neco, cim se lisi). Tohle je nudna tuctovka, kdy si dva reknou, ze budou mit nezavazny vztah, ale zamiluji, ale boji si to rict. Neunosne natahovano i na dalsi dily. Nuda NUDA NUDA! ( )
