Reader Review: This is the first book I’ve read by Tracy Wolff and I’m so impressed. Rhiannon is on the cusp of forty and is in the process of rebuilding her life. Formerly a very successful journalist, she was abducted, raped and cut up by a source. In the aftermath her husband left her, claiming he couldn’t deal with the changes. Now Rhiannon is rebuilding her life as a party planner, and twenty-nine year old Shawn engages her to plan an upscale party for him. The rights to his extremely successful graphic novels have been bought in Hollywood, but he has an ulterior motive: he’s romantically interested in Rhiannon. This is a theme that has to be handled expertly, and Tracy Wolff certainly manages that. The relationship progresses at a believable yet satisfying pace. In many ways it is an unconventional pairing, and yet it absolutely worked for me. Shawn was a wonderful hero – so easy to fall in love with. He has his own issues, and yet he is able to overcome them to see that it is possible to find love again no matter how disastrous it was for him the first time. Many Superromances have a big focus on secondary characters, but this one is almost exclusively about the main relationship. Though third in a loosely-linked series, you wouldn’t even notice as this book stands up so well on its own. With just enough humour and some realistic situations to ground the unconventional characters, this was a fantastic book.
Rhiannon Jenkins is an events planner on the rise. And her latest client, Shawn Emerson, could make her career. Too bad the gorgeous man insists on mixing a lot of pleasure with his business. In Rhiannon's books getting involved with a client is the fastest way to exit a job. So, no. She'll resist all his come-get-me looks and tempting offers.
While his charm is easy to overlook, Shawn in the role of confidant and friend breaks down all her best defenses. Suddenly the tables turn and she wants to be close to him. That means opening up about the ugly events of her past—a risk she hasn't taken before now. Oh, but he could be so worth it!

She could do this. She could do this. Really, she could do this.
Rhiannon Jenkins repeated the mantra that had gotten her through so much in the past two years as she squared her shoulders and climbed slowly out of her car. Despite the pep talk she'd given herself all the way over here, she couldn't help feeling like she was headed for the guillotine. Which was ridiculous, she reminded herself impatiently. It was just a business lunch, and she'd had hundreds of them over the course of her career. One more certainly wasn't going to do her in.
Of course, she'd told herself the same thing three years before when she'd made the mistake of trusting a source for her newspaper article. That meeting hadn't killed her, but it had come damn close—and taken a huge amount of her life with it. Including, she admitted with a grim sigh, her ability to confidently meet a man in a packed restaurant—even for a lunch date that was strictly business.
But she didn't have a choice. She had to do this. The only other option—running back to her boss and best friend, Logan, and telling him that she'd been too chicken to even walk in the restaurant's door—was somehow a million times worse. He'd taken a chance on her when she'd been all but paralyzed with grief and fear. She wouldn't repay him by screwing up one of the biggest responsibilities he'd given her.
So what if it was the first time she'd pitched a party completely on her own since joining Logan's firm two years before?
So what if the man she was supposed to have lunch with was young and sexy and a little bit intimidating?
So what, even if she was so scared she was literally quaking in the two-hundred-dollar boots she'd bought the night before to give he
