While this is not my favorite from this author and I didn't particularly like the hero in this one, I got great satisfaction out of Sandras character. Explaining that may be considered spoilers, so I'll list those at the end. 
 As for Gabe...I was disappointed in him. I got the wrong impression of him in Everly and Sawyers book. For some reason, I thought he was the good looking nerd. They are generally good guys. His inner monologue immediately wiped that impression away. He sounded like just another jerk who's had woman falling at his feet by just a look. In fact he brings this up himself. He admits he's lazy because he only has to give a look and the woman makes her move. 
 This isn't the type of man I like to read about, but I still very much enjoyed this book. Gabes assistant, Preston, was hilarious. We got to see more of Everly and Sawyer...love Sawyer and this was a safe read and had the humor we love from Jana Aston. It was a short novella so I definitely wish there was more. I listened to the audio version and loved the narrators! Now on to spoilers.... 
 (view spoiler)[I loved how Sandra brought him to his knees. What's even more funny about this is she's what you would call a good girl. Slightly meek, very professional and avoids drama. She did exactly what I want to see from a heroine who faces off with an arrogant hero. I wanted to evil laugh when everything she did made Gabe second guess himself. She's cool, calm and collected when he leaves her right after sex. He didn't like that. The next time he sees her she is being hit on by another guy. Yeah, he didn't like that either. Then when he reminds her of their time together and tells her to cancel a date, she says no. Brilliant! (It's not really a date) 
 She may be completely in love with Gabe but she knows better than give herself to a man who has only displayed a desire for sex. She's willing to enjoy the memory of the one time together and move on. She drew a line in the sand and that forced Gabe to either let her go or acknowledge his own feelings and man up. He choose to be a man. I liked him much better after this. Bravo Sandra! (hide spoiler)]
