The ultimate pleasure lies in sweet surrender . . .
Brash. Brilliant. Devastatingly handsome. Billionaire playboy Rafe Contini can have any woman he wants-no strings, no commitments, no promises. But when American graduate student Nicole Parrish crashes his private party in Monte Carlo, he wants more than a casual one-night stand. He wants to possess this beautiful stranger-body, mind, and soul.
Brash. Brilliant. Devastatingly handsome. Billionaire playboy Rafe Contini can have any woman he wants-no strings, no commitments, no promises. But when American graduate student Nicole Parrish crashes his private party in Monte Carlo, he wants more than a casual one-night stand. He wants to possess this beautiful stranger-body, mind, and soul.
Nicole isn't interested in being possessed by any man-especially one as powerful as Rafe. But with a seductive smile and enigmatic charm, he lures her into his private world of erotic discovery and pushes her to the brink of ecstasy. In the summer days-and nights-that follow, they explore every forbidden fantasy, every willful desire, every wild, dizzying sensation. And come dangerously close to crossing the line-between love and lust, pleasure and pain, power and possession…

BAM
It is always fun when a character like Dominic Knight has a soft spot and gives into it. This uber Alpha male became a puddle or the secret cohort in crime when it came to his niece Nicole. Since her birth, she has had him wrapped around her finger... so it was no surprise for her graduation from Stanford, he provided his yacht, crew and all the other necessities for the summer. This allowed Nicole to bring her bestie to Europe and have a no holds barred vacation. These two decided to experience it all; taste it all and yes, if wishing to... hook up with whomever strikes their fancy. At one of the many lavish parties, they both are on Rafe Contini yacht, drinking and mingling.
Rafe is known for many things; his playboy image, the tabloids and stories and the tattooed artwork so carefully done in such unique places. He is not so well known as being the giver of charity contributions and the medical supplies from the company he runs and for the demons and secrets he holds close away from others.
What happens next is the beginning dance of two headstrong individuals.... two who are extremely intelligent. Two who are spoiled in a way which may cause one to cringe.... because when characters such as these have always gotten their way...what happens when both will not compromise...fireworks. For Rafe it is confusion about why the heart wants what the heart wants. For Nicole, it is making sure not to just role over her needs because a man says so.
These two have one thing they agree on...their language...it is sexual....the conversations are with lips, looks, touches and thrusts...Only nourishment or sleep will cause a halt....
This is a C. C. Gibbs book... We enjoy the way she crafts, presents and teases us. She has set this first book in the series up with visits with past characters we love and has introduced others which have us guessing. These two are set in the end in a place where they may rest for a moment... but do not be surprised if in the second book, the fireworks ignite again...after all, we are talking about Nicole and Rafe.
