Ten Steps to Surviving a New Job: 1. Don’t sleep with the client. It’ll get you fired. (Sounds easy enough.) 2. Don’t blink when new client turns out to be former one-night stand. 3. Don’t call same client a jerk for never texting you back. 4. Don’t believe client when he says he really, really wanted to call. 5. Remember, the client is always right-so you can’t junk punch him when he demands new … junk punch him when he demands new design after new design.
6. Ignore accelerated heartbeat every time sexy client walks into room.
7. Definitely ignore client’s large hands. They just mean he wears big gloves.
8. Don’t let client’s charm wear you down. Be strong.
9. Whatever you do, don’t fall for the client. You’ll lose more than your job-maybe even your heart.
10. If all else fails, see rule number one again.

Zoey knows the rules, the main one being don’t roll between the sheets with your clients, and she has never had a problem keeping up her end of the bargain when it comes to this rule… that is until her last one night stand strolls through her office door and tells her they will be working together on his brothers newest business venture. Ryder rocked her world months ago, and then left her without so much as a goodbye, and to say that it stung a little is an understatement, and now here he is sitting in front of her in all his gorgeous glory wanting a truce, and as much as she wants to send him packing she knows she can’t because she knows how important this deal is to the company, and the business it will stimulate. So she is forced to bite her tongue on this one, and has to dig deep to keep from screwing it all up royally. If she can maintain a strictly business relationship with him things should work out perfectly… now she just has to convince her traitorous body from breaking the rules!!
After a steamy one night stand with a gorgeous interior designer Ryder decided once with her just wasn’t going to be enough, she has been on his mind since that night, and when life got in the way and had him sneaking out without a goodbye he knew he had screwed up. But fate, and his brother, have decided he deserves a second shot at making things right, his brother needs him to oversee the design project happening at the resort he just purchased and it just so happens that a certain sexy interior designer is at the helm. So, he figures this is his chance to right the wrong he created and work himself back into her good graces, but as soon as he walks through her office door he knows he has a tough battle ahead of him… one that has him going head to head with a woman who wants nothing to do with him… or does she?
I was completely overjoyed with the opportunity to make a return visit to this series, Ms. Blackwood’s rule makers/breakers completely stole my heart the first go around, and I have to say my second visit was even better than the first. Her quirky characters had me laughing out loud from the get-go and the further I dived into their world the better the banter got, and before long things started to get pretty damn hot!! Anytime these two were near one another you could feel the sparks arching between them, and could also see Zoey putting on the brakes, but before long Ryder found a way to sneak under her radar and convince her to put her foot on the gas, and when she did we all saw sparks!! I loved every minute I spent with these two, their story was completely relatable, filled with emotion, passion, humor, and enough heat to keep me from reaching for a blanket on this very night! Highly recommend this one, it is sure to give you the feels and have you giggling the whole way through!!
This was a good book. I look forward to more from this author.
