{Review}

"The most important business lesson Michael Hale learned from his father was that success required failure." (page 1, line 1)

A smart, enjoyable story with great dialog, a bit of corporate intrigue and a steamy romance. The relationship between Michael and Elise was interesting and exciting with some tender moments. To Michael Elise is the one that got away and Elise has been angry at Michael for years. They've got a lot against them, their past, emotional baggage, exes, family pressures, but they also have a deep connection.

I really liked Elise. She's smart and confident and excellent at her job. I also liked seeing Michael's evolution, learning what he is capable of, who he can depend on, who he can trust, what he deserves, how he can be happy.

I'll definitely be on the look out for more books by Elisabeth Staab.
