Favourite Quote: (between hero & random chick)
'Are you asthmatic?' Nikos asked.
'No, just fat and unfit.'    

Back Cover:

From their first meeting, Jemma had known that forever wasn't in Leon Stephanades's vocabulary. She was inexperienced, but the passion between them was so powerful that she cast her doubts aside and agreed to Leon's demand of a no-strings affair. Soon Jemma was head over heels in love, and couldn't imagine that she'd ever be the one to end the idyll...Until she found out that her love for Leon was to have a lasting price - and it meant having to let him go... 

My Review:

Oh yum, the passion in this one was heart-racing.  Leon was intent on having an affair with Jemma, he kissed and propositioned her moments after meeting her, every time their eyes met electricity just thrummed between them.  He is a wealthy powerful man, so he thoroughly investigated Jemma in the next few days.  When he caught her after a date with another man, he was jealous and delightfully possessive.

Zane is a news reporter with too many scandals under his belt, so his bosses insist on a makeover to change his image and send him to Naomi Tyler, image consultant who knows exactly what he needs. Naomi has just dumped her boyfriend and when Zane says he'll agree to a makeover in exchange for a night with her, her sexual ego needs the boost so she accepts.
