First published as a five-part e serial novel, Anything He Wants inflamed imaginations everywhere and became a national bestseller. Now available for the first time ever as a complete book, this edition contains never-before-released scenes and special bonus material. Don’t miss this erotic tale of a powerful billionaire who always gets what he wants and the young woman who’s about to enter his exclusive realm--a world of glittering opulence and all-consuming passion, where she’ll explore the darkest reaches of her own desire.
Lucy Delacourt's temp position isn't quite her dream job but it pays the bills. The highlight of her day is riding the elevator in the mornings with a handsome stranger. Tall, dark, and sexy as hell, Lucy knows he's way out of her league, but a girl can look, right?
Everything changes the day the stranger seduces her. Completely out of character, she yields without a fight, but she has no idea her wanton acts with a man whose name she doesn't know will change her life forever. Because the sexy stranger is none other than Jeremiah Hamilton, billionaire CEO of Hamilton Industries, and one taste isn't nearly enough to satisfy his need. As the billionaire pulls Lucy deeper into his world of high stakes business deals and ruthless takeovers, he demands nothing less than her complete surrender. But even as enemies seek deadly revenge against him, she’ll discover that her greatest threat is falling for her fiercely guarded boss…and yielding to her own darkest needs.
Now I have mixed feelings about this book. The beginning just had me ready to scream, but shortly after, I could not put it down!. I guess I have to sit back and remember this was written originally as a 5 part novel so it jumped ahead and moved fast. I think what bothers me about the story is how quickly some scenes moved, yet I really did like the story overall.
Lucy is a bold woman who everyday goes to work in a dead end boring job that she knows is never going to get her anywhere. Her one light at work is the handsome man she sees every morning in the elevator. She plans her morning to be sure they ride together. Suddenly one day they end up alone, this strange man makes his move and Lucy submits instantly, now that I found so hot! Who is he and why does he command her body like he does with just a look and a kiss. Lucy spends the rest of the day thinking of this man, but what bothers me the most is what she allows to happen after work that I found a little hard to accept, I mean who does that?????
The next day Lucy's boss escorts her up to the CEO's office to find it is the stranger from the elevator and the encounter in the parking garage. Finding out she is about to lose her job, since the temp position she holds is not longer needed, Lucy takes on the role or Jeremiah's personal assistant and swears she will do anything he wants to keep the job.being of financial need and no place to go she can't refuse.
I loved getting to know Jeremiah, his back story just makes him even more hotter and before long I was hooked on the book. I loved how protective he was of Lucy and how willing he was to keep her safe when someone tries to kill her. I also loved Lucy and how funny and snarky she could be. Unlike anything Jeremiah has ever encountered. He is a man who always gets his way and Lucy is so unlike past woman in his life.
I hope there is more to this series, as I found the end to be great, but you are left with the question of what next? I really hope I get to find out.
4 out of 5 stars
