Sophie's new motto was 'Try anything once'-but she was beginning to realize that maybe it wasn't such a wise one after all! When she'd been offered a job in the world of classical music, it had seemed an exciting opportunity. A step into the unknown, but a risk worth taking.
But that was before Sophie had come up against record producer Alex Tarrant. Working for him was disrupting her peace of mind in more ways than one. He was a demanding boss, determined to make Sophie obey his every command. And he had an unfair advantage, as he was also the most devastatingly attractive man she'd ever met!
This is not one of Lucy Keane's best, that's certain. This is an uneasy combination of elements; some are traditional/conventional category romance elements (such as a punishing kiss and a hero who looks down on the heroine, or a moment of deadly peril for the heroine that gives the hero an opportunity to show some desperate concern).
Some aspects of the book are more like I what I appreciate about Lucy Keane's books, such as the fact that the main characters are good at what they do, and what they do is interesting, or quirky little character details that round out the characters and make them seem real, or at least, really charming, not to mention a general realism (the difficulties that a child from a previous marriage can present, for example).
Some elements are just odd and troubling, . This situation is hinted at several times, so I wasn't surprised when it was fully revealed, but it was still really weird, and definitely kind of wrecked the romance for me.
