First of all, I have to say I've always been a fan of romance novels if they're well written. I consider well written to mean they have a plot and characters who are more than skin deep and maybe some dialogue to go along with the all the naughty scenes. I am so happy to report that Inara Scott's Rules of Negotiation fits all these criteria. The story is sweet and funny while still being sexy, the characters are well developed and likable and the plot moves steadily, pulling you along for the ri...more
I feel like I'm going to take all my feelings of the popular muchly overused idea of the filthy rich, out of this world handsome, bad boy character who falls in live with a not So rich character who 'is not just his type ' and ends up changing him..Yeah you know you know the rest ..or something like that. and release it into this review.Don't worry I will hold myself back ...for now.... Yeah So some things are shaken up abit.in the story but ' IT ' is still there. This isn't a direct attack on t...more

I feel so accomplish lately, I have been able to get to read some great books lately. So, todays selection is Rules of Negotiation by Inara Scott. Let me tell you this book was fun. Here is what the story is about:
We have a workaholic lawyer by the name of Tori Anderson, who has six rules she follows when she negotiates which are:
1. Beware of sexy CEOs bearing favorable contracts (I have to agree with that one)
2. Assume nothing (good advice)

I’m always a little nervous when I read a new author. And when I say new, I mean to me, because let’s face it, there are simply too many great writers out there for even a book addict like me to have even scratched the surface. I sat down with Rules of Negotiation on a day when the house was clean, the kids were in school, and my wonderful husband was off hunting down lawn and pool supplies. I would have hours of uninterrupted reading time. And it’s a good...more

Brit wants to flirt with Tori a little in order to help get his little sister a job for one of Tori's clients. What he does not expect is a women to challenge and fight him and get him to start looking more into his life. Tori is focused so much on her career that she is letting her life pass her by so when Brit proposes a weekend fling s...more

I enjoyed the dynamics of the characters in this story. Brit and Tori are both portrayed as human with successes and imperfections. Neither was super defensive but they were cautious. They viewed most things realistically. I liked how the attraction was not an instant love at first sight, flash of lightening kind of feeling but was more a slower drawing together as they learned things about each other through conversation and spending time toget...more

I'm mixed between two-three stars {the book was okay-to good}. Most of the book was okay, but the end was good - it was cute. I wish the book was longer because everything happened so fast. I didn't think the "big drama" of the book was all that big so I kept thinking there was more but there wasn't. I thought the characters were really one dimensional. I didn't know them at all.

3.5 Stars. I liked it, I read it in one night so by no means do I want to say it wasn't good. It just wasn't a 4 for me. I had a minor problem with the characters drastic change, starting out strong, especially Brit, but end weak and vulnerable, to the point of seeming like completely different people. Brit starts out very charming and debonaire, oozing confidence, going from enigmatic sensual man to boy-next-door in my opinion. And this wasn't character growth, although I assume that was the in...more
Sexy, funny, witty, what more can I ask for?
Tori is more than just a workaholic, nothing ever passes her notice. She's a very ambitious professional, with her sight on a prize, and nothing will get on the way of that. She can be a control freak too, if you ask me. Once she sets on a plan, she does not deviate unless it is absolutely necessary-- and only, if there's a win for her in it. Although she has a big heart, no men are allowed near it. She's about to close a deal, and it all goes as plan...more

Tori Anderson had big plans to race up the corporate ladder on her way to a partnership with her prestigious law firm. She was determined to not let anyone get too close to her so she wouldn't suffer the same heartbreak that plagued her ailing mother. When she meets Brit Bencher, CEO of Excorp, during a contract negotiation for one of her clients, all that begins to change. Brit is handsome, charming and confident, with the reputation of being able to have any woman with just a wink or a smile....more
Review written for http://www.books-n-kisses.com/
Right from the beginning it is clear that Brit has an ulterior motive, but I found it hard to care. His character was so well written that even when he is being an ass, you like him. It is clear that he is torn from the get go. He sets out to use Tori as a contact to obtain something for his beloved sister, but can't help his own attraction to her. Soon he forgets why he started the whole thing and mostly just goes with it. Of course that comes ba...more

One-click and another stroke of luck. This contemporary romance by new-to-me author, Inara Scott, was a well-written story with two strong-willed and very likable characters. You can expect plenty of heat and sizzle, along with some really good sarcastic banter between these two.
Tori is an attractive, headstrong, tell-it-like-it-is heroine who believes in strong work ethics. She’s responsible for the expenses involved in caring for her ailing mother. It’s important that sh...more

Breaking The Rules Is Such Fun
Forget the Greeks, beware CEO's bearing gifts. Of all the rules of negotiation that lawyer Tori Anderson lives by, that's the one she should have kept in mind. A tricky contract deal on the cusp of being signed is suddenly altered and improved, and not at the request of her client, but by Brit Bencher, CEO of the corporation procuring the acquisition. To say that's an unusual occurrence would be an understatement.
If that didn't make her wary enough, Brit tosses his...more

This was a quick read. I really liked the story, about a big CEO trying to get something from the bright little lawyer. Obviously Brit underestimates Tori, which I loved. I loved that he thought he could trick her and had to keep changing his tactics because she was so suspicious of him. It was a good book. I liked it a lot.

I had quite some mixed feelings over this book. I felt a bit disappointed. I expected more. Way more. And though it wasn’t a bad read, it left me wanting for something else, some sort of deeper connection with the characters.

I loved this book. Nothing beats a strong willed woman with her head on straight and an equally strong (panty-dropper) dude who is equally successful and knows not to hesitate when he wants something.
And he wanted Tori.
And bet your ass he wasted no time in getting her... In every which way *slow grins*

A good read with a full gamut of emotions. sweet & spicy, sad & humorous. Very likeable characters with realistic issues and human failings. Workaholic, over-achiever attorney, Tori is tough as a nut from the outside, with lots of emotional insecurities from the inside. Her father desertion has affected her & her mother badly, her mom drumming in her all her life to stay away from charming men & focus mainly on her career.

If I had to use a few words to sum up Inara Scott's debut category romance, they would be 'category romance with substance.'
Inara pens a gorgeous, sexy hero in Brit, a hero with flaws who isn't afraid to admit them when it counts.
And the heroine Tori is a feisty, upfront heroine who I loved for her forthrightness, her confidence in her work and her vulnerability in her personal life.
Together, these two strong willed characters equal fireworks!

3.5 stars ... why doesn't Goodreads offer a half star option!?!?
This reminds me of a Harlequin Special Edition. It was a sweet textbook romance - I just was not fully vested. I thought Brit needed to take a chill pill. I admit that I got a little misty in places and I thought the story was well paced but it did not grab me like I wanted and I truly think it was due to Brit. He was redeemed but I wanted to pop him upside the head quite a few times. There is a fine line between alpha and stupid.
My Review:
The thing that made this book for me was Tori’s character. She has such a bristly, harsh personality, but that is only because she’s scarred from her childhood. Her father was a good-looking, smooth-talking guy who left her and her mother high and dry when Tori was eight. All her life, her mother has warned her against falling for that type of guy and Tori has taken that to heart. She constantly dates losers and buries herself in her work to make sure that she always has that stability...more

I read this book because of the reviews saying that I should read this before reading The Boss's Fake Fiancee but it kept me thinking that I wanted more information on their lifes after her mother's death and why he quit his company before their obvious reunion, it seemed incomplete. Her mother's death was kind of predictable and make me feel like she was an obstacle for their happiness,not a good feeling. Besides how is it that a workaholic lawyer of a successful firm was always complaining ab...more

Wow I loved it. I think it could have been better but that's besides the point. I really loved how Brit pursued Tori even though his motives were off but he did it for his sister.

It all started with Brit's motive - to get his sister a job. A successful CEO himself, he likes to be in control of everything around him and that includes the lives of the people in his family. Little does he know that in order to help his sister land a job so she can recover from a massive heartbreak, he'll have to get through Tori - a sexy, sensitive, high powered attorney. Its not like he has a problem making her nervous, but he does have a problem when he starts to fall in love with her. Ev...more
At first I thought this would just be another bdsm story. Good thing it's not!
I love how the characters come into play and I also love that Tori is a strong-willed woman, while Brit is a controlling man. Complete opposites that share a mutual attraction to each other but prioritize their work and their family over themselves.
This is an amazing story of two work-driven individuals struggling for their feelings, realizing they need each other in the end, breaking all their set of own rules.

I grew up in winter wonderland of Buffalo, NY. Consequently, I spent much of my childhood complaining about being cold. To spare the world my whining, I fled the cold climate and eventually wound up in the Pacific NW. I love it here — we get occasional snow, tons of rain in the winter, and lots of sun in the summer. The forests are huge, and the old Douglas Fir trees and thick ferns make you think...more
