SUMMARY

They’re not even halfway through that debate, when they’re drawn to each other with a force neither of them anticipates.

Having lived through her share of disloyal relationships Eva’s sworn off heartbreaker men. No way she’ll fall for this assertive, enigmatic playboy.

MY REVIEW

“Is she…is she that holiday-party Eva? Your first kiss?”...Eva and Clive shared their first kiss 15 years ago. Now, they will meet again outside the office elevator of their building. Their companies have offices in the same building. Clive remembers Eva straight away, but Eva only recognises Clive from the front cover of a gossip magazine.

There he was, the tabloid hottie, clothed in a dark gray suit, a crisp, white shirt with the top few buttons undone, hair ruffled, and looking straight at them from inside the elevator car.

Clive is apparently a player who never stays faithful for long. He is the kind of man that Eva normally avoids, but lately nothing is normal in Eva's life. She has recently inherited his father’s design company and she struggles to convince everyone that she is capable of such a task. Unfortunately and for no particular reasons her clients abandon her company one by one. Clive's company may follow, but Clive wants to give Eve another chance.

A flight with a helicopter, a romantic dinner, meeting the family and talking about past events will bring Clive and Eva closer.

“C’mon Eva! We know you’re looking for your Mr. Right, but while you’re at it, why not also have some fun with this Mr. Slightly Wrong?...

But Clive hides things from her. He hides that he secretly works with FBI and that Eva could be in danger.
Soon Eva will be heartbroken. Her two best friends and tons of ice-cream will definitely help her to cope.

Eva and Clive's story is a trilogy. The first book finishes with a HFN, not a major cliff-hanger.
Overall it is a light, feel-good love story with a touch of mystery and suspense.
