Synopsis:
What if the brooding billionaire wore pencil skirts and Louboutins? What if the impressionable intern was a small-town furniture maker with boyish charm?
Cole Jacobson always thought he would take after his father and pursue his dreams. But when the family business falters and he’s forced to accept his uncle’s help, Cole is summoned to the big city for a job he never wanted.
Priorities become obscured when Cole finds himself working for Shaun Wright, the strong, intimidating, and ruthlessly attractive business partner at his uncle’s contracting firm. Forced to either sacrifice his hard-won integrity or leave behind the one thing that brings him true happiness, Cole must make a decision that could cost him both. A decision only complicated by the sexy, inscrutable woman he can’t stop thinking about. A woman who just might be as intrigued as he is to cross professional boundaries.
A provocative, trope-twisting romance, Sarina Rhoads’s Drawn Through You finally puts the heroine on the other side of the desk.
My Review:
Romance novels get a bad rap for being formulaic and to a degree it’s true. I mean, you always get your happily ever after or happy for now, but that’s what makes it a romance. And at some point the hero and heroine have to go through a conflict to get to their particular brand of happy, but how they get there is different for every book. Ever couple is different. Sarina Rhoads’s Drawn Through You goes a step further by turning a popular trope on its head.
My eyes were starting to glaze over whenever I saw or heard about another billionaire book. But to have the heroine be in the position of power? Yes, please! The author does a good job of making both Shaun and Cole believable, as well as the incendiary chemistry. The sex scenes are hot, hot, HOT! Remember phone sex? It’s alive and well in Drawn Through You! No video, no Skyping, just good old-fashioned phone sex.
The role reversal worked well, thanks to a smart story. The characters were well developed and believable as they navigated through some corporate intrigue and the usual romantic pitfalls all new couples face (plus one or two unexpected things). If you want something a little different than your average billionaire romance, check out Drawn Through You.
