I have to be honest in saying that I am feeling a bit perplexed with the direction this series is going in. We have moved on from the rock stars and arrived at rugby player turned businessman. Now, I am all for branching out into other genres, but this just seems like a detour to me. Moving on. 
 As well as the direction, I am left a bit confused with the story of Gabriel and Charlotte too. It felt, to me, counterproductive and a terribly confusing character development. 
 Charlotte is incredibly shy and almost scared of anyone in authority. She is called a mouse throughout the book. Charlotte's back-story is that she was kidnapped and held against her will by an abusive ex over a period of time being tortured and abused. The result is an overly careful, OCD type of home life and a nonexistent dating life. 
 Gabriel is an ex-rugby player turned businessman who sees the potential in Charlotte. He also sees her shyness as a turn on. So far so good right? Well, my issue is Gabriel as a tendency to be very demanding when it comes to their romance. Yet Charlotte still has panic attacks and freezes up when touched in certain areas. It just didn't make sense to me when one moment they were tearing at each other and the next a total freeze out. I mean, if you know she has issues why would you use blatant sexual dominant talk that could trigger her reactions in the negative? 
 Don't get me wrong, the office romance and banter is fantastic, that alone makes it worth the read. However, it just missed the mark for me. I just wish it could have been more a story of a timid mouse being shy and less of the traumatic issues causing the strife.
