Night and Day
by Anna Hackett
I think we're all in agreement that the only billionaires we want are fictional ones - especially when they are hotel magnates! Millionaire/Billionaire is not a trope that sells me on a book - there has to be something more enticing for me and this had it in spades!
Tessa is the small town girl, running the local but well known Windward Hotel. Now she has to put up with Corporate America and she dreads what Langston Hotels may do to her beloved 2nd home. AS the epitome of good girl she never really lets her hair down - she is always "on". But the masquerade ball gives her the chance to unwind with a stranger and leaver her glowing!
Ambrose, aka Ro, recently took over from his feckless father as the CEO of Langston Hotels (daddy dearest really is like a certain "leader" and I struggled to read scenes when he appeared as he gave me the proverbial ick)! He wants to be the man his father never was and doesn't want to abuse the power that he has but wants to do what he can to improve his company and he's not afraid to make waves doing it.
Tessa is smart, diligent, loyal to her friends and staff and independent. She has made a little family for herself and has wrapped her life around this hotel. Ro is suave, intelligent, dedicated and a bit of a workaholic but he isn't money centred. He has a core of friends that he trusts and he doesn't give that trust easily.
Ro and Tessa have intense chemistry and try to keep a handle on their attraction to each other, especially with the power imbalance between them. But the heart wants what the hearts wants and they soon give in. There is a "hawt" zoom-type call scene that will leave you fanning yourself, lol.
The sabotage/suspense storyline is well plotted and paced and I'm proud to say I called the big bad before the big reveal. The secondary characters are quirky and empathetic and I'm already eyeing a few of them up for future books. I especially have my eye on a certain head of security and all his grumpy goodness!
