I gave up on love twenty years ago. These days I only want hot sex. Jameson Beck is experienced, confident, and sinfully sexy— a perfect distraction from the murder trial taking over my life. But now I’m expected to work with him every day and ignore his never-ending advances? Yeah, right. I can’t keep my distance, not even with Jameson threatening everything I’ve worked for over the past ten … years. And he’s making me want the very thing I’d sworn off: love.
Olivia Roberts, the blonde bombshell. She’s hot, feisty, and isn’t afraid to talk dirty. She fights me at every turn, but that only makes me want her more. Too bad she’s the one person standing between me and the partnership I’d do anything to get. Olivia makes me question it all. I thought my career was enough. I thought I didn’t need love. But now I don’t think I can live without it. Or her.

Paige Fieldsted is masterful and definitely knows how to keep her readers locked and loaded until the very end. This was the first book I had read of Paige’s, and it was phenomenal!!! I truly enjoyed the character development, the emotion-packed, purposeful and passionately driven storyline. It was an intense read, and I couldn’t wait to turn the next page.
Olivia Roberts is a hard nut to crack. She is guarded. She normally wouldn’t let anyone in. She was always in control. That is, until Jameson came along and tore down all of her walls. And the feeling was mutual. The same could be said about Jameson. Neither Olivia or Jameson could believe they were struggling with so many feelings and emotions for one another. Their unavoidable, insatiable, sparks flying, fire-under-your-feet chemistry was absolutely undeniable. But when Olivia and Jameson find out their lust-filled connection led beyond the bedroom, tension flares. They find out they are both vying for the same prestigious position as partners in a law firm. The HEAT jumps off the pages and singes the reader. The “power struggle” between the two of them was charged, electric, and sizzling hot!!! Individually, neither one of them have seemingly had this problem before. Neither is able to figure out why they can’t fight off the other. Steam rolling someone else for what they wanted was never a problem before. Yet in the presence of the other, they have a mounting difficulty concentrating on anything else. The struggle to gain the upper hand, making this a business issue, not a personal one, is much more difficult than either would ever admit to.
I was fully submerged by the dynamic between Olivia and Jameson. My lungs and heart filled, I gasped for air, came up to the surface, took a quick breath and dove right back in. Make sure to block some time out to read this in one sitting. You aren’t going to want to put it down.
Paige, thank you so much for a riveting, thrilling, sexy and passionate POWER STRUGGLE. I want MORE!!! I want more of Olivia and Jameson!!!
This being my first book to read by Paige Fieldsted I wasn’t sure what to expect, would the story be something I would enjoy, would it be as hot as the blurb sounded, would it have substance, and most of all would this story have me wanting to read others by this author? I was thrilled when it not only met all of the questions I had but exceeded them with having me add another of her books to my TBR shelf. I honestly would never have guessed that Ms Fieldsted was a fairly new author with only a couple of books under her belt as of today.
Olivia was a strong female character that I really enjoyed, she didn’t come off as snobbish or stuck up which she could have been in the position she held but instead she was warm and caring, she held a dark secret close to her chest and there was only two people in her life that knew about it and it would stay that way forever if it was up to her.
Jameson/James, tall, dark, and sexy were just a few of his attributes. I could go on and on about him because he was just yummy, but I wont, what I will say is that he knows what he wants and he goes for it…that being Olivia. After a one-night-stand that neither of them can forget, because it was just that HOT, they find themselves working together on a high profile murder case and lets just say that both Olivia and Jameson do not let anything slip by them either in the boardroom or the bedroom.
This was a fast paced read that grabbed my interest at the very beginning and never let go. I look forward to reading other books by this new and upcoming author. If you would like a sneak peak into just how hot Olivia and Jameson are together I would suggest you grab a copy of Women on Top: An Anthology of Erotica featuring Alpha Women Turning up the Kink which is currently free on Amazon, and when you are done with that grab your copy of Power Struggle to see how everything plays out. Happy Reading!

Olivia Roberts has never had a problem keeping men at bay, when it comes to the sanctity of her heart, but then she meets a man that sneaks past all her defenses and leaves her feeling utterly powerless… and it scares the hell out of her. How can he just waltz into her life and turn it upside down the way he has, when no one else has ever been able to get past the barricade she has built around her heart…yes she invited him into her world, but only for a little strings free stress relieving fun. Now not only is he occupying space in her bed, but also space in her heart, and she can’t seem to decide if she should lock her heart down tight as usual or finally let someone in?
Jameson Beck has a deal of a lifetime on the table, he just has to find a way to move Olivia Roberts out of the way to get it, problem is he’s not so sure he wants her gone. The moment he took her home she ingrained herself into every part of him, and he hasn’t been able to shake her since, not knowing of course that when they first met that their lives were about to change in more ways then one. Now he finds himself in a tight battle with the one person who has been able to breath new life into his old bruised heart, and he begins to wonder if the prize he set out to win is worth losing all his newfound happiness for?
Power Struggle is a scintillating and sultry tale that will keep you enthralled from start to finish… once I cracked the cover I just could not put it down!! In this story you will meet two headstrong souls who have completely given up on the possibility of love, neither wanting to put themselves out there for fear of being burned, but unfortunately (or fortunately) for them love knows no bounds! The moment they meet they are completely taken with one another, both planning for their little hook-up to be just that, a night of fun, but the moment they touch something else happens, unexpected sparks that lead to some serious unexpected feelings, and from there things just continue to heat up!! I loved meeting these two, their story had many moments to cherish, and many sexy moments that are still dancing around in my thoughts, and making me blush!! It was such a well rounded, and well crafted read, and by far one of the most impressive first read I have had in a long while! I look forward to settling down with more novels from this author, and letting her characters take me on another steamy adventure! Highly recommend you meet these two, they are guaranteed to keep you entertained!!
