Sexy and hot enough to melt my kindle! Xander is the hot and brooding guy who has been cleaning up his father's mess for years and Poppy is the unloved throwaway girl that acts out to hurt others before they can hurt her. When they are together, their interactions practically combust and ignite the pages.

Normally, I'm not fond of the step-brother/step-sister trope, but I loved this book. I loved the interactions between Xander and Poppy and how they both struggled to overcome their pasts - especially how they endured and fit their broken pieces together to become whole.

If you enjoy a sexy romance, you will love this book. Put this one at the top of your TBR list. The author is on my must read authors' list.

Xander King has worked hard to fix the mess his con artist father left when he went to prison. The King company is legit now but it has taken a toll on Xander. He's all work and very little play. He needs an assistant to help with a special project and he can't get one due to his reputation for being a demanding boss. So, Xander decides to offer the job to his stepsister, Poppy. Poppy has been a sarcastic pain in his butt since she was ten when her mother married his father. Working together brings up all of their secret feelings for each other. They fight it but eventually their chemistry takes over and they begin a red hot affair. Xander and Poppy are two wounded people who find each other and start to heal. Sweet and spicy.

I agree with the statement, that a picture is worth a thousand words. The picture on the front of this book shows Xander with a business suit on one side and a sexy bare chest on the other. Describes him perfectly.
