“I’m confused. Do you want me to spy on my fiancé or get naked with you?”
“Both. I thought that was obvious.”
Revenge. It’s the only thing Ashley can think about after finding her supposed fiancé, Steven, with his tongue down the throat of the worst human being in the history of the world—his colleague, Ice Queen Victoria. Turns out it’s not the only body part he’s betrayed her with.
Humiliated and furious, Ashley finds herself being propositioned by security expert and ridiculously sexy Jason Baine. But he’s not just looking to get her into bed. He needs her help taking down Steven and Victoria and rescuing his family’s company before it’s too late.
Ashley’s a regular girl, a normal person. She doesn’t dabble in corporate espionage or illicit affairs. At least she didn’t until Jason… But now she’s in too deep and things are getting dangerous.
This was, admittedly, not my favorite Lucy Score. I still really enjoyed it, but not to the same level as I have some of her others.
I think maybe it was because I didn’t find myself connecting the same with the characters.
Ashley has been with Steven, her fiance, for quite some time. But things have been changing between them. Even she can tell. He’s more focused on his job and his co-worker–Victoria.
When they go to a work party, and Ashley catches Steven cheating with Victoria–unbeknownst to either of them–Jason Baine asks Ashley to kill two birds with one stone; get revenge on her cheating fiance while also proving that he and Victoria are compromising his family’s company.
From the first there was a high amount of sexual tension between Ashley and Jason. However, she’s not sure if he’s just leading her on so she keeps trying to dig for information on Steven.
This was a quick read that provided some drama, sexy times, and romance. In the end, though, Jason was definitely just a little short on the character development for me.
Don’t let this deter you, however! If you haven’t read a Lucy Score before, there are MANY great ones out there!
About Lucy Score
Lucy is a Wall Street Journal and #1 Amazon Kindle Store bestseller of romantic comedies and contemporary romance. She grew up in rural Pennsylvania with a lot of time on her hands and a big imagination. She was the oldest of three in a book-obsessed household. Dinners were often spent in silence while family members had their noses buried in books. A passion for writing took hold at five when she taught her brother to write his name on the bathroom door.
She started writing (on paper) in the second grade, first about pilgrims on the Mayflower and over the years graduated to essays, articles, blogs, and finally books. "Pretend You're Mine" was her runaway hit and she's been writing full-time ever since.
Non-romance-writing jobs have included event planner, bartender, newspaper lackey, and yoga instructor.
Lucy and Mr. Lucy, enjoy spending time with their 1.7 million nieces and nephews and laying on beaches with umbrella drinks.
I am sorry to hear that you had a harder time connecting with the characters, but hope your next Lucy Score read is a win for you!
