Erotica with thin plot and ridiculous characters. They look at each in a coffee shop and it's love/lust/sex at first sight. Katalina treats Henley like he's her soulmate to the point where she gets stuck in the stairwell (after ignoring the introduction saying they're emergency only and alarmed) and Henley comes to get her and Camille (who never even gets introduced) out and she jumps on him saying he rescued her. I mean they were in the stairwell for like five minutes. Very dramatic and over the top. She annoyed me. Katalina acted like a little girl the majority of the time - she has major daddy issues - and the rest of the time like an idiot. Well and a bit like a stalker. The sex happens immediately and continuously and publicly.

But here's my biggest issue. The dad's death. Okay he's dead and she misses him - but I found the constant mentions of him wrong. Because the whole book is driven by sex and her dad. Yeah I think you can see the problem. Like she has her dad's shirt hanging in the wardrobe of her hotel room. Fine. But then she makes a point of saying that Henley's shirt hangs next to that. And her suit next to both and it's like they're in some weird threesome.

The storyline is very weak but if you're only reading for the sex then sure it's great. There's a few funny lines and it's entertaining enough bar a few of the problems to do with what I mentioned under the spoiler. I just prefer more plot and character development.

Henley, The Head of cyber security at Blaine Technologies, is a man no one crosses. He watches employees constantly, using his network of cameras, and enforces his rules by any means possible. Rumors of his violent past, along with his scarred hands and huge size, have resulted in his being feared by everyone … almost everyone.
Katalina, the new intern, worries about the revelation of her most painful secret much more than she fears her sexy bosses wrath. She sees the loneliness in his dark eyes, feels the gentleness in his marred fingers, tastes the need in his kisses … and she knows he watches her. His silly rules about not stripping for the cameras and no sex at the office are destined to be broken.
Kat likes to be watched. Henley can look away. Will this beauty be able to tame her beastly boss?

This book is HOT!! and left me panting for the next installment. From the first page I loved the character Kat, her pain and the bewilderment of being alone for the first time in her life just made me want to give her a hug. Then seeing Henley in the coffee shop (ahhh my dream meeting place), she was struck by his behemoth size and aura of power. After Kat cheers up a upset women (showing her kind and compassionate side) she happen to run across Henley in a park with Kat shows Henley just how she likes to be watched. Without trying to give too much away we follow Kat and Henley’s journey and with its heart breaking ups and downs which literally brought me to tears, showing that Henley always finds away.

A fantastically hot book earning a 10 out of 10 from me ( )

Katalina is the new intern at Blaine Technologies and Henley is the Head of Security. Before Katalina even knew who he was she spied him at the local coffee shop and was immediately smitten. He was just her physical type and she wanted him, oh so bad. But it was her first day in a new city at a new job trying to make a new start. When he disappeared with his coffee she hoped she’d see him there again. She had no idea how much she’d be seeing him and as his job was Head of Security she feels bad lying about who she really is.

Holy shit, this is going on my favorites list! My interest was caught from the very start and didn’t wane the entire time. I resented having to put it down to go cook dinner or do anything else for that matter. That tells me more than anything else about a book and this one delivers. It is not perfectly written. There are issues with repetition. I lost track of the number of times Kat refers to Henley as scarred and a behemoth and how scary he is to everyone except her. And the character development is very shallow, there’s not a whole lot of depth to these guys to really sink my teeth into. But this story just works for me. It’s more about Katalina dealing with her grief (and her avoidance of it) than anything else. She runs away from NY to LA and unexpectedly meets Henley, a man who is perfect for her. There is grief, yes, but there is plenty of humor and steamy sexiness, too. I love it. That is all. ( )

When Katalina begins a new job at Blaine Technologies, she is immediately transfixed by a huge, gentle giant who just happens to be the head of security. He’s handsome, intelligent, and utterly bewitched her from the first minutes of their meeting. Attempting to provoke him into approaching her, Kataline realizes he can see everything she does. So Kat proceeds to entice Henley, the head of Cyber Security, as much as possible, leading to a delightful back and forth.
So I was a bit back and forth on this book. It gets very naughty pretty quickly, but once I got over the first two or three chapters, I was engrossed in the characters. Henley is such an enigma and I honestly could have read about him for a whole other book. Raw and emotional, Sax does a pretty darn good job of writing how these two completely opposite characters look at their lives in completely different ways...which in turn, make the book a quick read and an even better ending.

Note: I totally read this series out of order so I completely condone reading this book even if you haven’t read the previous installments. ( )
