review 2: I found this book for free on Barnes and Noble. Strictly Business by Aubrianna Hunter is a fun read, if you don't take the book too seriously. Aubrianna Hunter does a pretty good job painting a picture and I give her points for the book's setting. Jess Wythe is an architect from a very wealthy, old school Virginia family. Being the black sheep, she breaks away and pursues a career in architecture in the great state of Texas. Jess suffers from severe body image issues. She wears boxy, unflattering clothing to hide her figure and disguises the real color of her eyes with contact lenses. Of course, she is the typical virgin. Untouched and never had a very serious relationship. Sigh. I really wish writers would stop doing this. Why is it so horrible for a woman to have a sexual past? Oh, well. Jake Morgenstern is a divorced rancher. He meets Jess when he calls her firm to request "the best architect" money can buy. Oh, did I fail to mention he is a millionaire? Of course he is. Why wouldn't he be? Jake has serious trust issues when it comes to women. The burned child fears the fire and all. So needless to say when they meet sparks start to fly.Initially, they hate each other. But me thinks they doth protest too much. The barbed remarks quickly turn into attraction and the rest, I assume, you can figure out for yourself. The book isn't big on originality. But I have read worse. My main gripe is with the lemony scenes. There is way too much sheathing going on. He dips his fingers into her sheath. Her sheath contracts around him., etc. Is that even the correct usage of sheath? The book moves quickly and comes to HEA ending. It is a stand alone book. There is no cliffhanger. However, I can see how this has the possibility of turning into a sequel with some of the other characters mentioned. Overall I give it two stars. less
