Review by Lisa:

 

This book was so much fun to read and I really enjoyed it.

 

Evangeline, Eva as others call her, lives in Dublin and feels like an outcast at work; well more like she never left high school. The office has clicks and her boss Mia is the leader of the mean girls.

 

When Eva gets an invitation to the company ball, she waits for the mean girls to laugh in her face and tell her that it's a joke, that there is no way she would ever be invited, but it never happens.

 

Still feeling out of place, she emails Mia and tells her she's not going; big MISTAKE.

 

Eva gets called to Mr.Doe's office, he's the head of the company and a jerk. He tells her she has no choice and that the ball is mandatory.

 

This sends her into a silent freak out because she's got nothing to wear, and isn't much into fashion, nor does she have a date!

 

She gets this idea to hire an escort, but gets more than she bargained for!

 

Enter in Julian Harte and the games! He's hot, confident, sexy, and too cocky at times, but completely drool worthy!!!

 

They spend time getting to know each other before the ball, and most of the time it's the naked kind of getting to know each other, which is oh so hot!

 

So what happens when you get Eva, a shy and not so confident person, together with Julian, who is overly confident and is hiding something from her?! Well as always, I suggest reading to find out!

 

I really enjoyed reading this book. Just when you think it's headed one way, it completely goes the opposite direction; keeping you on your toes!

 

I definitely look forward to reading more from Brooke Harris!

 

5 Stars!!!
