Very good book. It is the third book in the Boardrooms and Billionaires series but can easily be read as a standalone. Camryn is one of three sisters who banded together to rebuild the family magazine business. She is the company's CFO and eats, breathes, and sleeps everything financial for the company. She is supremely confident in herself when it comes to anything business-related, but it is a different story in her personal life. So she uses business to stay too busy for relationships.

Camryn's brother-in-law's half-brother, Booth, is the head of a successful financial newspaper. Wealthy, intelligent, and known for getting what he wants, Booth has been drawn to Camryn since he met her. Unfortunately for him, she shuts down every attempt to pursue her, claiming it would be "too messy" because of their family connections. Booth refuses to give up.

I enjoyed the development of Booth and Camryn's relationship. Though I haven't read the first two books in the series, it's clear that the attraction between them has been simmering for quite some time. Booth becomes more intrigued by Camryn every time he sees her. When one of his speakers bows out of an event in Hawaii, Booth asks Camryn to fill in, hoping that a change of location will help his cause. One of Booth's event staff, Sinclair (who reminded me of the guys from <I>What Not to Wear</i>), insists on assisting Camryn to prepare for the event in a hilarious scene involving the fashion samples closet at her magazine.

Booth is not the typical billionaire hero who pulls out all the stops to seduce the heroine. He has far too much respect for her and instead works to show her that respect. I loved their stop in San Francisco, where Booth included her in a business dinner he had scheduled. His enjoyment at seeing her wit and intelligence shine was real and made him want her even more. Meanwhile, Camryn sees that Booth isn't like most of the other men she knows, and her resistance to him begins to slip. An encounter with an old boyfriend emphasizes the difference between the two men.

Once they arrive in Hawaii, things begin to heat up. Booth's patience and perseverance start to chip away at the walls Camryn erected. There are some outstanding scenes of them together, where it's obvious that their attraction has grown into something more. But there is a snake in Paradise, in the form of Booth's father, West. He had unsuccessfully attempted to ruin the relationship between his son, Nathan, and Camryn's sister, Keira. Now he seems intent on doing the same to Booth and Camryn. Camryn stumbles onto something that looks like unethical, if not illegal, actions at Booth's paper. Unfortunately, her fears get in the way of her telling Booth of her suspicions, and it all blows up in her face.

Back in New York, heartbroken, Camryn faces the fact that she may have sabotaged herself. Booth is both hurt and furious at her actions, and it takes him a few days to calm down enough to check out her suspicions. I loved his response to his father and that he left right after it to go to Camryn. At the same time, Camryn knew she had to apologize to Booth. I loved how she recruited Sinclair to help her show Booth that she was ready to "get messy" with him. The ending was great, and the epilogue was a fantastic wrap-up to the series.
