Faye can't believe she agreed to spy for her brothers and her family company to get dirt on Gavin, a rival billionaire watchmaker. She's not a seductress! But when Gavin is the nemesis threatening to destroy her family legacy, she had to help her brothers bring down the playboy, by wearing a wire and play the femme fatale, with a bit of remote coaching. But why is Gavin so naturally handsome, genuine, and absolutely UNLIKE the playboy she's expecting? A girl can fall for a guy like that... But she's caught between a rock and a hard place... If she goes forward, Gavin will have nothing to do with her. If she goes back empty-handed, her brothers will be furious...
While the revelations at the end made sense, I just felt it wasn't hinted at sufficiently. There could have been hints dropped earlier for Faye that her brothers were hiding things to her detriment. Like Gavin wasn't really even a competitor. Simple mention of his watch's MSRP and some self-reflection (she should know what her watches sells for) would be sufficient. The final revelations almost feel like deus ex machinas. And I don't think she objected strongly enough to be roped into the role. Couldn't they have hired someone else? Why her? And what sort of brothers would "pimp out" their sister like that? Sheesh. Even the brother's motivations were unclear and feel very... PETTY. Book just feels as if it's missing a few things. 3/5
