Sometimes, it feels so damn good to be bad … From New York Times and #1 International bestselling author J. Kenner, the first in an all new series of fast-paced, provocative novels centering around the ambitious, wealthy, and powerful men who work in the glamorous and exciting world of the Stark International conglomerate … and the sexy and passionate women who bring them to their knees. Outwardly, Noah Carter is riding high as the tech world’s hottest new genius. Inside, he’s still reeling from the abduction of his wife and baby daughter eight years ago, and then the devastating discovery of his child’s body. For years, he kept up hope that his wife was alive, but now that she’s been declared legally dead, he’s thrown himself even more deeply into his work, cutting himself off from emotional ties because they just hurt too damn much. Then he meets Kiki Porter, an eternal optimist with a killer work ethic and dreams of fronting a band. And everything changes. Even though he tries his damnedest to fight it… Sexually, they are combustible together. But their true fire is emotional, though it is a slow to burn. But once it lights, it is all consuming. The relationship grows emotionally, the sex is hot, things are good. But just when it’s looking like they might have a real future together, the past comes back to haunt them. And Noah’s going to have to decide what he’s willing to give up for love …

This is very much a second chance love story but at times has you wondering "what are you thinking" as there are definitely times where you don't think they will work out or one of them doesn't do or say something that could actually make the other understand what happened between now and then like Noah talking about his wife and child earlier. I really like Kiki and you can feel how torn she is between her business, the band and wondering if her and Noah can make it work again, I think I would go bananas with that much pressure. Both Noah and Kiki at times really frustrated me with the way they acted either in the now or for something that happened in the past and as annoying as it was it made them less perfect and more relatable. There are plenty of will they, wont they, should they along with moments where you want to pull out your hair or shake them to make them see sense and well hell of a surprise that make this book a great read.
