esotericelixir's review against another edition

Mr. CEO delivers exactly what it promises in the blurb. Happy ever after, no cheating and no cliff-hangers. Whilst this book wasn't really for me - I knew what I was getting into and fully expected to read a smut book and a smut book is what I got.
Charlotte Rose and Logan met at an industry conference where they immediately fell into insta-lust. Logan is depicted like any other possessive 'alpha' male that I have read in similar stories and Charlotte Rose seemed to exist purely to fulfill plot points for Logan (and vice versa). His level of possessiveness was incredibly intense and quite alarming. He wanted to possess her and so he bought the company that she worked at so that he could make them move into his building and have her as his employee. There's nothing sexier than a power-imbalance that could make you fear for your job.
We don't really hear much about their past, present or future - apart from seeing each other, sleeping with each other and thinking about each other. It went from meeting to marriage in an extremely short amount of time and is 100% unrealistic, however it is fiction and it is what you expect when you read a book like this.
It's not the worst book I've read in the world and the writing actually wasn't too bad to follow. I would have appreciated more plot and more fleshed out storylines - although I'm not entirely certain where we could have gone with this story.
I also didn't particularly enjoy the surprise!cancer plot, though it was very obvious it was headed in that direction - I don't feel like it particularly added anything of value to the story.
It is what it is and it was read for a reading challenge. Glad it's over.

I will be honest that I honestly had no clue what to expect from this book, I had heard of these two authors but not much and when I saw this on Audible I just decided to grab it up and listen to it and I was really intrigued by this story. I just love a sexy office romance, but this book was off the charts. It had some really intriguing elements that definitely worked for me. Now this book is sexy and HOT, but it also has some fun dynamics that I just fell for. I really was intrigued by the set up of the story and even though our hero is badass in the bedroom and such a powerhouse of a CEO, there was something more to him that doesn't meet the eye. And when we find the truth about what he is hiding, my heart just ached for him. We deal with some real life issues in this story and I am so glad that it ended with a HEA.
I truly loved seeing this couple come together, and even though their relationship has its own struggles we also see how right they are for each other. I fell so hard for this book, it has some unique dynamics in the relationship that totally worked for me, Mr. Ceo is a sizzling and in depth romance that gives you a unique balance you don't expect but is compelling to the reader....SIMPLY FANTASTIC!!

My only complaint is the FMC. I don't mind a woman who is unsure of herself and her circumstances. I just need some kind of growth towards the middle of the story. The spice was very nice but the FMC internal dialogue was a bit much.

Logan Parker, Billionaire Business Mogul and CEO of Parker-Moore Enterprises. A billion-dollar company he inherited after his father suffered a debilitating stroke. He was ready for the responsibility. After all, his father groomed him to take over the company from a very young age. His relationship with his father is not an easy one and Logan often finds he has no patience in dealing with him but does so because that’s his father.
Charlotte “Rose” Harrison is beautiful, smart and sassy. She’s also the newly hired Keynote Speaker for Armcorp. She’s been sent to Las Vegas to give a presentation at a business conference. But she’s distracted and not sure she can pull it off. You see, Charlotte is struggling with the overwhelming pain caused by the ultimate betrayal by her dirt bag cheating ex-boyfriend Ian and her former skanky best friend and coworker Sarah.
It’s there, in the hotel bar, that she has her first encounter with Logan. Both Charlotte and Logan find themselves drawn to each other even though they haven’t met. Logan helps Charlotte out of an uncomfortable situation but when his back is turned, she leaves the bar and flees to her room.
She is going to speak at the conference Logan is planning on attending will they get a chance to meet again and will they find love? You need to read Mr. Ceo to find out.

Charlotte Rose Harrison is ticked at having to start over, but her cheating ex and her former best friend made it inevitable. Now Charlotte has a new job and needs to let off a little steam, she meets Logan Parker and they have one night together that was off the charts. However for Charlotte she believes what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, even though her thoughts continue to think of Logan.
Logan sees Charlotte and wants her from that moment, he ends up buying the company she works for but little does Charlotte, who Logan calls his Rose, knows is that her new boss is her one night stand.
This was great, Logan is intense and once he sees Charlotte he knows she is it for him. Going to have to check the other books in series this was a delight.

UGH! THIS ONE PULLED AT MY HEARTSTRINGS. I LOVED this read. Loved it, loved it, loved it. Logan is another book boyfriend to add to my list. He’s a hot, dominant, alpha male who was made to be the strong and confident businessman that he is today. Charlotte is on my top list of favorite heroines ever and I just loved everything about her. Her personality, spunk, intelligence, she’s a solid catch and totally relatable. This book had me busting out the tissues and I didn't put this down until I was finished with it. This was such a great book, I highly recommend reading this!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I received an eARC of this book in the Simply Irresistible Collection.

I love Willow Winters, but this collaboration from her backlist didn't work for me. I could hear the different author voices at times - sometimes the heroine says fuck a lot, sometimes she seems like a prude. Overall, the characters were underdeveloped. We begin to learn that the h has some sort of anxiety disorder but never learn much about it. The H is like a cardboard cutout. And man, does this guy not have game. Zero foreplay. I don't know what she sees in him. They don't have a lot of conversations outside of their trysts, and a lot of the "action" is only told through the thoughts in their heads. Overall unconvincing story.
