GRR Reviews Yours for the Taking by Danielle Stewart

I'm not too sure what to make of "Yours for the Taking". It feels as if it was written in spurts, or rewritten more than once, as the book took a very weird twist in the middle and the triangle was introduced very very late.

Jenny is a Pharma-tech auditor who feels the male-dominated industry's pressure from the creepy boss and glass ceiling for female employees. She was tasked to audit a new drug for diabetes, but she fell for the enigmatic but attractive drug rep, who wooed her like no one ever did. It was not ethical for her to sleep with the maker of the drug she was auditing... but what was the worst case? What secrets is he keeping from her? Why?

Somehow the book managed to recover enough of the momentum for the end, but the weird twist in the middle made me wonder what sort of book did I stumble into... is this supposed to be a romance or a romantic suspense? It's not quite either. The ending was a major scene and a rousing success, but somehow it felt... "apart" from the rest of the book, a total tonal change. As if a "closer" was brought in to write the ending, or it was written long before the rest of the book. Some parts are good, but overall, I have to rate this merely average.
