Luca & Marcel (Hostile Takeover #0.5)

A little preview/prequel to Lucy Lennox's latest series (Hostile Takeover) with her short story "Luca & Marcel."

["Will his temporary PA turn into something permanent when they land in Vegas?

When billionaire hotelier Luca Bernardi discovers his trusty assistant can't come with him on an important business trip, he panics. Thankfully, she calls in a backup. Only... she was a little under the influence of heavy narcotics when she made the call... and when the temp shows up wearing sequins and a tiara, Luca wonders if his PA has taken leave of her senses and arranged for a... worker of the night instead of a professional assistant.

As the PA to a renowned venture capitalist, Marcel Abbott knows his way around an investment negotiation. As far as he's concerned, he's the best temp this Luca guy could ever want for his business trip to Vegas. But when Marcel boards Luca's private jet, Luca treats him like... a rent boy. Just what does this man think the "P" in "PA" stands for?"]

I really needed a romance lately. Trying to binge read a bunch of murder mysteries/thrillers really gets your down (plus, ya know, work-related stress). And I needed something short, to get my addiction fixed so I can finish what I started (the murder mysteries/thrillers). Let me tell you, Lucy always fucking provides that fix. 

The perfect amount of confusion and angst and comedy and something-else-that-starts-with-an-A... and steamy stuff in Vegas. It was soooo fucking cute and fluffy and perfect. They just fit each other. It was quick as hell (their romance and the book--I wanted more them), but when it's right, it's right (when you know, you know). So damn cheesy, but soooooooo fucking good. Again, just what I really needed (apparently, just what Luca and Marcel needed too ;) ).

Now I can't wait for "Hostile Takeover" to come out (two more weeks).
