"His plan was almost complete"

Alex Trahern has been planning his revenge against John Harrison for 2 years, ever since the death of his father. Now that he has the motions in place to overtake John Harrisons' company nothing can get in his way, or so he thinks.

Isabel Harrison has always played second fiddle in her fathers' affections. She has come to accept that he will never care for her, and there is no way that she is going to be second fiddle to a husband. Even though she is 27, Isabel is hearing her biological ticking and she wants babies. But she wants them with a husband and so she has come up with a list of what she wants in one.

When she contacts Alex's assitant Max about another position, Alex goes to meet his adversarys' daughter. He is surprised to see she is nowhere near like her father and the only babies she is going to be having our HIS babies.

COME UP AND SEE ME SOMETIME, by Lucy Monroe is everything that you love about a Lucy Monroe book but bigger. Alex and Isy both have to come to terms with their pasts so that they can have a future together and to do that means that they have to learn to trust each other.

I also loved the secondary characters like Alexs' assistant Max and his secretary. I cannot wait to see what happens to them in the sequel in December.

Summary

In a high-stakes game of love, attraction, and desire, two people playing for all the wrong reasons are about to discover how delicious it can be when plans go deliciously awry and love is all that matters.

That's what businessman Alex Trahern thinks about Isabel Harrison. If the prestigious headhunter thinks she can steal his top employee, just like her father stole his dad's ideas, she's dead wrong. Alex is always a man with a plan, and his plan is to get revenge on John Harrison through his daughter. But there's no contingency plan for the impact Isabel's sparkling green eyes and honey brown hair have on the decidedly non-business side of his brain...

After some relationship flameouts, Isabel's decided to leave love out of it and approach her search for a husband like finding a suitable job candidate. And according to her list of requirements, Alex Trahern certainly has potential. He's sexy. (Check.) Forceful and fascinating. (Check, check.) Also arrogant, obnoxious, and way too hot for her own good. (Erase. Start over.) Now, if only she could find out what he's really after...
