What His Money Can't Buy
review 1: Emma Geary was diligently working on the large windows in London’s famous Granchester Hotel when she was suddenly summoned to her boss’ office. Dark, handsome Zak Constantinides was determined to wrest his brother from Emma’s clutches. Zak assumed that Emma’s friendship with his brother, Nat, was far more involved than it seemed. Quickly, Zak spirited Emma away to New York City to design an opulent wedding room at one of his choice hotels. In this, Emma excelled. Her taste in color, style and delicate fabrics created an oasis any bride and groom would love! Unfortunately, by trying to keep Emma away from Nat, Zak Constantinides found himself falling in love with the woman himself. That was a situation he’d managed to avoid most of his adult life. Little b... morey little, Emma got under Zak’s skin. Was it possible that powerful Zak Constantinides could, instead, find himself at Emma’s mercy?
review 2: More like 4.5*Emma, the h, is a 29 year old widow. She lives and works in London as an interior designer at a very upscale hotel. Her marriage was a brief and ill advised one to a much older rock star when she was 19. He died a year later due to drug overdose and she has spent all the time since avoiding any close relationsships with the opposite sex. If any male makes a play she knocks them back and if they accept that then they become friends. The H is Zak the owner of the hotel she works at. He's also the brother of her friend Nat one of her admirers who became her good friend. She really has never met Zak until she is suddenly called to his office. Apparently he believes that she and Nat have a serious relationship and he thinks she's a gold digger. He offers to buy her off, then tries to intimidate her, and then tells her she may have a contract but he's going to transfer to one of his hotels in another country. She storms off telling him to go to hell.Later she talks to Nat and he convinces her that taking the transfer would be good for her career and that it would get his big, controlling brother off his back. She agrees reluctantly because she finds she is unwillingly attracted to Zak and he is the most inappropriate man to stir her frozen sexuality.Zak transfers her to New York which is also where he is headquartered. He continues to be nasty to her while fighting his own attraction to her. He's determined not to give in because she is involved with his brother and also because he thinks she's a cheap gold digger. Finally she admits that the relationship with Nat was only platonic and they succumb to their attraction. However, it can only be sexual as Zak does not do forever, and never will.This is a really good read. Both H and h have issues from their childhood and for the h from her marriage. There is strong chemistry pulling them together and issues pulling them apart. It has a nice if abrupt ending but a very nice epilogue. less
