The story is about Dara Bancroft and Yale Ransom. They meet at a business affair and are instantly drawn to each other. Dara is trying to get Yale to give his account to the stockbroking company she works for. The first night they meet is adventurous and ends in passion and, Dara hopes, a new beginning(Only this was a little tacky in that they ended up at a very cheap truck stop motel). Unfortunately, the next morning Yale makes her feel as if she is as cheap as the motel room they are in and assures her that his account is hers. As you can guess tempers fly and the fight is on. Her goal is to change him and his goal is to get her any way he can.

Yale is very much the alpha male and I found him to be rather crass, crude and annoying. But, the whole premise of the story was for Dara to change him and if he weren't all those things there wouldn't be a story.

This is one of my favorite Stephanie James books - I think all men have 2 sides - they can be a gentleman or they can be the devil - I work with all men and they look really good with the suits and ties and have all the manners - but let the clients leave and they can be very very crude. I think women have 2 sides also but we are better at joining them into one person.

I like all of the Stephanie James/Jayne Ann Krentz/Jayne Castle books and being 56 even though I see the older books are dated they are in a time I lived through and remember.
