Billionaire's Contract Engagement

Maddox Communications advertising executive Celia Taylor has the chance to sign one of the biggest names of her career. Starting over from a painful move from New York, Celia is very much aware of herself as a woman and strives to do nothing that would draw attention to herself or her behavior. Signing Evan Reese will show the advertising world that she is worthy of an account as big as Evan's. When Evan invites Celia to Catalina Island on business, she has trepidations, but goes anyway. Finding out why he wants her there makes her see red, yet Celia isn't willing to give up on landing his account no matter how much she wants to cut and run. Evan doesn't understand why Celia Taylor is so worried about her reputation and what others think of her. He has wanted to seduce her for months and his brother's wedding is the perfect opportunity. Her reluctance worries him, but he is confident enough in his capabilities as a lover to keep her happy. When the press catches wind of their affair, they are brutal and finally Evan understands. But will he be able to handle the stark truth of what Celia tried to keep hidden? Evan is seductive, good-looking, and dreamy. He is used to having any woman he wants, when he wants her. And he wants Celia Taylor and her hesitation only makes him want her more. Celia is guarded at best, but she is unable to let go of her attraction to Evan and for that alone I found her to be very brave. Her confidence has been shattered by previous circumstances, however, she is willing to take a chance on Evan. Good, good, stuff! Billionaire's Contract Engagement is superb. Maya Banks has woven an intricate tale of how lies can affect a relationship. Evan and Celia's connection to each other is piping hot and instantaneous. Passion is prevalent in Billionaire's Contract Engagement and I couldn't have asked for anything more! Talia Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed
