Kennedy spies a particularly alluring man at her hotel bar. \u00a0Kennedy&#8217;s at the conference as the VP of Operations at her family&#8217;s company, and the handsome man, Matt, is the new CEO of a trucking company &#8211; though neither of them know who each other is, as Matt refuses to talk about work. \u00a0Their encounter is ridiculously hot and steamy, and since Matt insisted on no work talk, she leaves with no idea of who he is. \u00a0Back in the SF Bay Area at their respective companies, though, they both find they&#8217;re having problems forgetting the other, which leads them both to attend a scene in The Boardroom. \u00a0Sparks fly, but between their respective careers and families, is there any room for their relationship?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Resentment got her nowhere, but owning and using her assets gave her power she had no trouble wielding. \u00a0Her mother thrived among the social elite, and Kennedy had been raised to excel within that set as well. But she needed more than that. She wasn\u2019t born to simply exist. \u00a0She had things to prove and security to achieve \u2014 for herself.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A lot of the direction in the book comes from Kennedy&#8217;s need to be in control of her life, to be the dominant person in her business negotiations. \u00a0Matt, though, fulfills her long-buried need to let someone else take over control, but only in the bedroom. \u00a0I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s a secret to anyone that women need to work twice as hard as men to get the same recognition, and Kennedy&#8217;s further hampered by the fact that she works for her family&#8217;s company, with her father as CEO. \u00a0Her job is pretty much her life, and pretty much her only personal activity is putting on scenes at The Boardroom. \u00a0Matt, by contrast, is an ex-military man with two teens from his divorce, and he takes being there for his family seriously, even though he is also committed to his job. \u00a0Matt has his own issues with dominance and submission, and has pretty much sworn off that lifestyle for the sake of his family (the story behind that is convoluted, and, I think, one of the parts of the book that worked least for me).<\/p>\n<p>One of the issues I had with the book is that I didn&#8217;t care much for Kennedy. \u00a0I loved how she owned her sexuality and how take-charge she was, but I didn&#8217;t like how she just put up with all the crap from her father. \u00a0After all the angst with Kennedy&#8217;s father, I thought that particular story thread wasn&#8217;t very well wrapped up &#8211; we leave without much resolution. \u00a0While I thought she loved her job &#8211; and excelled at it &#8211; I wasn&#8217;t sure if her dedication to Keller Pallets was because it was expected (she&#8217;d been working there since she took a job at the front desk as a teen) or because she really loved it. \u00a0I had almost expected her to leave and become CEO of another company just to get some space from her family. \u00a0I also had an issue with the main conflict of the book &#8211; that Kennedy couldn&#8217;t both be a powerful, in-charge woman and also someone who submitted to Matt. \u00a0It just didn&#8217;t seem that far-fetched to me to understand that she could let down her guard with one person without affecting her professional life.<\/p>\n<p>So, in summary, while I still enjoyed the book, I didn&#8217;t like it as much as the previous ones in the series. \u00a0It does seem like things are finally being set up for Trevor&#8217;s story, though, so I&#8217;ll definitely continue reading to see what&#8217;s next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unlike the previous novels, this one doesn&#8217;t start in The Boardroom, but rather at a conference in
