MERGER TO MARRIAGE by Addison Fox is a story about two
driven businesss professionals, a pregnancy and a big real
estate deal that depends on the hero getting a wife.
Mayson McBride is enjoying her sister Keira's wedding to
Nathan Cooper, when she spills Boudreaux down the front of
her light colored bridesmaid dress. She knows she cannot
stay at the reception with a big red stain on the front of
her dress so she heads up to her hotel room to change. As
she is rushing back to the reception she slips in her heals
and is caught by a wide chest with wider shoulders that are
attached to a gorgeous man. By the way he is dressed he
must be one of the wedding guests, but she cannot remember
seeing him. After he catches her they decide to sit in the
lobby for a while, especially after he produces a bottle of
the Boudreaux. She explains that is why she was rushing
back to the wedding to make sure she got a glass before it
was all gone. As they sit in a
quiet corner of the lobby sharing the wine and doing the
introductions, he is
Holt and she is Elizabeth. She feels a little guilty about
using her middle name, but tonight she does not want to be
a McBride sister or sister of the bride, she just wants to
be anonymous. They can both sense the sexual sparks that
are flying between them, and deciding that neither one of
them will be missed at the wedding they head to
Elizabeth's hotel room. After a night of passion and
sex, they have gone their separate ways and back to their
lives.
Now two months later neither one of them can forget that
night. Holt has discretely asked Nathan about a guest
named Elizabeth, but Nathan assures him there was no one
there by that name. Mayson has not been feeling well lately
and figures she has been working too hard, so when Keira
invites her and their other sister Camryon up the Newport
house for the weekend for good food and some fun she decides
to go.
She meets up with Holt again and reintroduces herself as
Mayson. They go have a nice breakfast the next day and that
is when she drops the bomb that she is pregnant and that he
is the father. They get back to the house and are getting
out of the car when Teddy Craddick is getting out of his. He
is Uncle Teddy to Mayson and her sisters, but to Holt he is
the biggest deal he has been trying to land for over a
decade.
I recommend MERGER TO MARRIAGE, it is a fast paced story
and has a lot of twist and turns that you won't see coming.
I enjoyed the way Ms. Fox wrote this story of two
professionals and how they finally handle the situation of
becoming parents, and keeping their professional careers.
This is the second book in Ms.Fox's Boardrooms &
Billionaires series and it is a wonderful follow up to
Tempting Acquisitions.
Real estate magnate, Holt Turner, has earned every penny of
his multi–billion dollar empire. Born into a family of
thieves, he's spent his adult life focusing on the art of
the deal and putting distance between his birthplace and the
rarified world he now lives in.
Mayson McBride never thought she'd see her partner in one
night of passion again. Little does she know Holt's not
going anywhere and is looking to keep Mayson to himself. But
when Mayson's family connections put them both in contact
with an old–school businessman Holt's been wooing for
years, she impulsively implies a fake engagement between
them to help him seal the deal.
It's only when she discovers she's pregnant that the ruse
begins to seem all too real. They need to decide if this is
one deal worth making a lifetime commitment for.
