Overview

The Sebastians own this city.

Hell, they own the whole world.

All I want is one little piece of it, a corner that I can call my own.

So when my boss runs away to “find herself”, I seize the opportunity and dive head first into the Sebastian’s glamorous universe. It’s everything I’ve ever wanted-fast paced and high stakes-and, even though I don’t fit in, I’m excellent at faking it.

Until I come face to face with the man in charge, Scott Sebastian, the arrogant, playboy heir with the mind of a devil and the body of a god and a mouth I can’t stop thinking about.

He’s infuriating. He’s a distraction. He’s the man who wants me in his bed as much as I want to be there.

And, if I get too close, he’ll be the one person who could expose me for what I really am-a fraud.

My Thoughts

The summary doesn’t quite do this story justice. It’s not so much that Tessa seized the opportunity to dive into the elite world, but she was pushed in part by her best friend who felt that she had to live more. So Tessa ends up at this fancy party, surrounded by hot sexy men, and ends up walking into a kinky voyer situation when she’s gone to the roof for air, which then turns into an amazing night of well….she’s not sure what. They agree on no names, but both are drunk, and Tessa’s memory of what happened wasn’t quite accurate.

Now Tessa is trying to land a sponsorship contract for a charity that’s close to hear heart, getting the Sebastians to invest, working sort of behind her bosses back since for some reason Kendra won’t let the Sebastians invest with her company, and well…..the world is turned upside down. The man that Tessa went home with that other night is a Sebastian, and a powerful one at that.

We spend much of this story watching a cat and mouse game between them. There’s an insane attraction between them, but there are so many secrets that Tessa is hiding that she’s afraid that it’ll be one more thing that will burst her bubble.

She finds friendship in a Lesser Sebstian and a romance with a Greater Sebastian, and she’s close to landing a deal that has potential to help her career and will help a charity close to her heart. The chemistry that these two have is insane, they can’t keep their hands off each other at the worst times of course, and there’s such tense banter between them all the time that im sure everyone else can feel it too. We know that Brett has a crush on her, yet he’s seeing what’s going on and continues to warn her off of Scott.

Scott says all the right things to her, telling her that he doesn’t date but he wants more, that he thinks she’s perfect, and of course that means that the other shoe will drop. And boy does that shoe drop….the night Kendra comes back from her ‘vacation’ and we find ourselves at a party. I”m desperate to see what happens at that party, but I think I just have to wait until next tuesday for the final book to be out. Enjoy!
