Nathan Trainor, self-made billionaire, is fed up with women
wanting him for his money and prestige. While nursing his
sorrows at his very exclusive club, Nathan makes the
acquaintance of two other members similarly contemplating
their futures. Connecting over their woes, they make a wager
to find true love within the year, and whoever loses must give
up something of intrinsic value. But the bet is soon forgotten
when Nathan is taken ill with the flu epidemic that has wiped
out almost all of his staff.
Chloe Russell, who is temping for Trainor Electronics, is
happy to fill in as the CEO's secretary. Disliking large
corporations for what they had done to her father, Chloe is
delighted with the paycheck which she desperately needs to
look after her live-in grandmother. What she
didn't expect was the instant attraction to her new boss, or
to find herself playing nursemaid to him at his home when he
is taken ill. As Chloe and Nathan spend more time together,
their scorching attraction cannot be extinguished. But as
passion and friendship develop between the pair, their
differences also become apparent. With both of them dealing
with issues from their past, will they trust in their feelings
and wager on their future together?
THE CEO BUYS IN by Nancy Herkness is a provocative,
contemporary romance that kept me riveted from start to
finish. With sexy characters that are so much more beneath the
surface, and love scenes that are sizzling in all the right
places, this novel flows effortlessly. Learning about Nathan
and Chloe's past helped me fall even more in
love with their story. Although I'm not sure about the title -
it just doesn't do it for me - I really enjoyed this novel,
and as it is the first in The Wager of Hearts series, I cannot
wait for the next instalment. THE CEO BUYS IN by Nancy
Herkness is an engrossing and engaging romance and I highly
recommend it.
