1: This was better than expected in a series
Gee that previous reviewer was harsh, and wrong. I disagree with just about everything she said. I read the book before reading her reply and quite frankly I was incensed. Thank goodness the author had the cojones to reply. Good for you Elizabeth. I totally agree, this book was wonderful, above the normal in a series. It had spunk and more to it than most. I read a lot, I mean a book a day and for one to impress me it has to be more than just ok. The hero was not a jerk, well ok he was but who could have blamed him for that. And he reformed himself at the end. His upbringing made him into what he was. He was made to go up against his brother and a twin to boot. Normally twins are made to feel close by the way they are written. Not being a twin I have to believe what I read. But it's plausible to me so I'll accept it. Being driven is not all that bad, look what all he's accomplished in his pretty young life and btw the cover model to me was not Matt. He's too old looking. The heroine was strong and driven and held her own. The man she quit her job for to work for him was the jerk. He, I could get to hate. I have not read the other books in this storyline. I'm reading the Millionaire of the Month books but this to me said, I'm part of more from this author. Yes I'll be looking for others that visit the lodge Hunter set up as a place they all had to go to discover themselves for a month. Sounds like a nice little series. I follow Ms .Bevarly's I've Got Male series and like her writing very much. Thanks for writing good stuff.

2: A joy to read
This book started me reading Elizabeth Bevarly books.
From the first this book captured my attention and made me laugh.
I enjoyed the interplay of the characters and yes the hero was a little caricatured but that added to my delight. I thought it was brilliant and sparkling.

3: I liked this book too, Elizabeth Bevarly
After reading, His Forbidden Fiancee (Silhouette Desire) (Luke's story), I had to read Matt's story. I found this book to be easy to read, entertaining and enjoyable. I look forward to reading more books by this talented author.

4: From the Author
Ya know, I realize everyone is entitled to her opinion, and I totally respect that. But as the author of the book, *I* think it was pretty dang good. So I'm giving myself five stars. :o)

5: A jerk and an unqualified ninny fall in love
OK, first of all, the guy in this book is a jerk. When his long-suffering assistant of several years tells him she's quitting to take a job at another company, he fires her and gives her 10 minutes to pack up her desk and then has her escorted out by security. Nice guy, huh? He's too impatient to learn how to work his PDAs, etc., so rather than ask someone, he throws them away in fits of rage. The guy is seriously immature and I wouldn't spend one second in his company. As for the heroine, she has a business degree and has spent several years as the executive assistant of Mr. Jerk. Somehow, she thinks this makes her qualified to be a VP of public relations -- despite the fact that she has no training or experience! Even more appalling, Mr. Jerk, toward the end of the book, agrees with her! She spends the entire book telling everyone who will listen that she is perfectly qualified for the job, even though she literally has no idea what it entails. Why does this author think that anyone can do PR? Does she feel that way about accounting? Medicine? Any other professional position? Probably not. So why does she feel that anyone can be a PR expert? This bugged me throughout the book, and when it was combined with how much of a jerk the "hero" is, the book was a colossal waste of time. The "heroine" is a masochist, and stupid to boot, as she leaves her orientation for said new job because the whiny jerk who had her escorted out of the building a week before calls her up with some flimsy complaint about something she did. Then, to top it off, once she realizes he lied, she still puts up with his behavior! I hated both of the main characters, and frankly, I wasn't so happy with the author after reading this pile o' crap. I'll give this author a miss in the future.
