Billionaire's Favorite Fantasy

by Jan Colley

Taken Over...By the Boss

They had shared the most amazing night of passion. And billionaire tycoon Lewis Goode could not erase Madeline Holland from his mind. Lucky for him, a corporate acquisition had just made him her new boss.

But Lewis knew Madeline would quit rather than have people think she slept her way to the top. So he'd have to use every negotiating trick he knew to keep her in his boardroom...and in his bedroom.

About the author

Jan Colley lives in the South Island of New Zealand with Les and two lovely cats. Her passion for travel has resulted in many overseas adventures and led to an eight year stint as a Customs Officer, after which opening a backpackers hostel called Vagabond seemed a natural progression. Running her own business, Jan discovered the meaning of the word 'busy' and began reading romance to relax. When they sold the business, she decided to take two months and write a romance. Two months turned into a year and an obsession to 'finish the damn book!' She attended a Kara Writing Course with Daphne Clair and Robyn Donald, finalled in the Clendon Award, garnering the Readers Choice, and entered a logline contest and won an online pitch to Melissa Jeglinski of Silhouette Books in New York. It took three years and three completed manuscripts to finally hear the words she'd heard in her head a hundred times: "We'd like to buy your book."

Jan dedicates most of her time to writing and neglecting her family and friends, although she does find time to watch rugby whenever there is a game on, be it her team of champs, Canterbury, or the All Blacks.

Did not like it, I found it disturbing that hero basically blackmailed heroine into staying at her new job so he could seduce her again (I don't usually mind this kind of plot but usually hero feels wronged and knew heroine before or her family, but in this case they met just day before and slept together and he held a lot of peoples jobs over her head). I also found the plot extremely boring. Np.

One night of passion leads to a mortifying next day. The hero has just taken over the hotel chain where the heroine has just been hired a COO. The main characters both had baggage but managed to communicate with each other, keeping the big misunderstandings to a minimum.

I was disappointed by the inevitable "corporate life is no good, I wanna be a small town type" conclusion. Why must this trope be so pervasive in romances, especially for heroines?

Not that a fantasy to me though.
