2.0

So in book 4, we pick up where things finally started getting interesting in book 3 --- Temp got poisioned.

It really wasn't a surprise -- I mean, it was bound to happen, right? WHY would you drink something brought to you by a complete and utter stranger who isn't a waiter or a bar tender?

But, I guess if you let strangers sexually ravish you in public, you probably let them poison you too, right?

Anyways, Temp has been in a coma for like three or four days and we learn that she almost died. When she wakes up, she asks for CEO to ravish her again but he declines, stating that she needs to gain her strength first.

I'm thinking this is where we are supposed to start seeing CEO as noble partner rather than a predator?

We learn, only after Temp has been poisoned, that CEO has many enemies who want to kill him. I really can't imagine why -- besides the fact that, oh yeah, he manhandles strange women in elevators, limos, and generally anywhere else he can find them...

In a strange turn of events that really didn't fit into the rest of groaning and moaning, CEO whisks Temp away to "Utah Beach" which is "only one of the numerous coastlines used for the World War II Normandy invasion." Apparently Temp is a closet WW2 buff with a soft spot for history.. and wars...

Temp meet's CEO's mom, who is tired of CEO bringing his assistants/prostitutes back home, and Temp decides to finally grow a backbone and throw out a few snarky insults to Mom. Except, she doesn't even say them in English, so nobody knows what she's saying. FAIL.

CEO hides Temp away in the Hamptons while he goes out to find the attempted murderer. Here, we learn that CEO used to be a sniper and his brother is an arms dealer. Temp is horrified to learn that she talked and danced at the gala with an arms dealer -- because usually she doesn't associate with men who have no morals --- oh wait....

At the end, Temp gets snatched up by someone with "strong arms" and she struggles with him and tries to escape. If only she'd done this at the BEGINNING of the book, right?

So the arm's dealer is holding Temp captive. Cliff-hanger ending. The end.

I gave this one two stars because CEO and Temp DID finally do something besides groan and wag.
