Synopsis
You know what they say about mixing business with pleasure …
When the breakdown of her marriage leaves Sadie Turner a single mum, she vows that she will make it on her own. After all, why would a smart businesswoman with a PhD and the prospect of a life-changing deal on the horizon need a man?
But Sadie’s man-ban is tested to the limit when she travels to Monaco to meet her potential investor. There she encounters Mac, a rough and ready playboy billionaire who lives life in the fast lane – and that’s when the real adventure starts!
But Sadie’s heart isn’t the only thing on the line. There’s also the business she’s worked so hard to make a success; the business that could so easily slip out of her grasp if she doesn’t seal the deal within thirty days …

The opening chapters are brilliant and have good pacing; they dive deep into the characters, the exotic setting and the instant connection made between Sadie and Mac. The middle-part focused on the drama of business negotiations and office politics, while Sadie and Mac try to keep their attraction purely professional. While the author has put a great deal of effort into Sadie’s scientific research and company deals, I did get lost at times during these chapters. Never the less the story ends as it starts: intense satisfaction.
The novel is definitely worth the price and is the perfect replacement for hot chocolate.
