From bestselling author Kandi Steiner comes a fresh and captivating billionaire romance about a reserved photographer and the powerful CEO who has to have her... My boyfriend’s billionaire boss always gets what he wants. Menacingly handsome and unquestionably powerful, Theo Whitman need only snap his fingers to have a flock of supermodels fall at his feet. So when his steel gray eyes first meet mine, I expect him to pass right over me, to not give so much as a second thought to my presence. Instead, he sees me. Truly sees me. And for a girl who prefers to hide behind her camera lens, it’s the most unnerving experience of my life. Until he asks me to stay on his yacht for the summer. All I have to do to earn my keep is be Theo’s on-call photographer when he has guests, and I’ll get a free ride through the Mediterranean with my boyfriend. Easy peasy. Still, my skin prickles in warning when I say yes. As the humid days fade into balmy nights, I can’t seem to avoid Theo. And when he finds me, it’s like a rabbit running into a wolf. His intense gaze immobilizes me. The way he speaks strips me bare. Every brush of his skin sears me like a violent flame. My boyfriend’s billionaire boss always gets what he wants. And this time, I think he wants me.

Aspen is a photographer. Her boyfriend Joel works on yachts during the summers. This particular summer, Aspen is pretty excited about going on a trip around Europe on her own taking photos to expand her portfolio. She's spending one last day with Joel as he shows her around the yacht and introduces her to all his coworkers. But it's Joel's boss Theo who affects her the most. The man is rich, he's powerful, and he seems to only have eyes for Aspen. And the more Joel parties and acts up, the closer Aspen and Theo become.
Okay, first thing. Aspen and Joel's relationship was pretty rocky. He was a partier. He was a people person. She liked alone time. And pretty soon they weren't spending hardly anytime together and she really should have dumped him. Especially when she started to have more and more feelings for Theo and especially when it became more and more evident that Theo also had feelings for her. So Aspen was essentially "cheating" in my book. It was hard to enjoy the Aspen/Theo build up because she was still with Joel.
Second thing ... Aspen and her insecurity. Even once Aspen and Theo truly get together, she's too insecure about him and once again it's hard to enjoy the relationship because she's so paranoid about him leaving her or hurting her.
Theo was a good guy. I liked him. He really loved Aspen and only wanted to take care of her and treat her like a queen.
But overall, this was a good read. I just wished Aspen had gotten smarter earlier and left Joel at the first signs of trouble. It would have been satisfying for Joel to have to see Theo treating Aspen the way she deserved to be treated.
there was no chemistry, not between the mc and her boyfriend or with boyfriend's boss. the story didn't make sense and the love interest was the most bland man I have ever come across
