Wow, A Great Read !!

Alex Trahern is a person bent on revenge from the one person who he feels is responsible for his father's death, John Harrison. He has accumulated as much information he could in order to help cement a deal for a hostile take over of John's company Hypertron. This includes a picture of Isabel who Alex has always thought was beautiful. But being the enemy's daughter has prevented him from acting on his obsession with her. But when Isabel contacts Marcus Danvers to offer him a better position, Alex decides to pay her a visit. When Isabel meets Alex for the first time she is disturbed by his presence, but regardless of her inner feelings for him she holds her ground and stands up to him. Although Alex is a tall, dark, handsome and a powerful person, Isabel is the beautiful, kind and sweet person that throws him for a loop. The sexual chemistry is strong from the first meeting, and Alex has decided that he must have her, as his own, and thinks that by marrying her he can deflect her leaving him when she finds out about his revenge plan. This is a book that shows how Isabel, with her love for him, can turn the determined and at times hard-headed Alex around. Lucy Munroe takes us on an journey with two strong characters and the twists and turns that comes before the final showdown, all the while showing you the human aspects of them both. She also does a great job of laying the foundation for Marcus to have his own story. This was a great read, which left you wanting for more and I look forward to her next book.

Fun light read

Me, I didnt care as much for The Real Deal as I did this book. So far this is my favorite. I liked both the main characters. Alex was an alpha male, but Isabela wasnt exactly a push over. The plot was fast moving but kept you entertained. It was a light, fun read. Id recommend it.

Gorgeous Entrepreneur seeks Sexy Polyanna

If you are looking for a steamy, classic, romance then you must read "Come Up and See Me Sometime." The immediate, combustive attraction between Alex and Isabel is barely restrained as you are pulled into the hearts and minds of these two irresistible personalities. Alex is a determined, hard-headed man, with very strong character and emotional depth. Isabel is a delightfully whimsical, sassy woman with a strong sense of kindness and belief in humanity. Both are anything but typical in their personal outlooks on life and they find the explosive chemistry between them an exciting and total, if not always welcomed, surprise!! With her usual talent for romantic twists and creative turns, the author leads the reader along the fast paced path of a wonderfully romantic story. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves classic romance at its edgiest!

Passion to Hook You From Beginning to End

This was a book that I just couldn't put down! Another winner for Lucy Monroe. Alex and Isabel meet for the first time when Alex confronts Isabel at her office, demanding to know why she is trying to raid his top employee. Isabel says she was just doing her job as a career specialist to assist her client who asked for this particular employee. Later Alex calls her to ask her to dinner, with the ulterior motive to find the name of her client. He suspects it is her father, John Harrison, who he blames for his father's death from a heart attack two years ago. As such, he feels justified in his motive to exact revenge on John Harrison by taking down his company, Hypertron. In the course of his background check of John Harrison, he has had a photo of Isabel for the past two years which he has been infatuated with ever since. The real woman seals the deal in his mind~ he has to make her his. He feels if he marries her, she won't leave him when she finds out about his separate revenge motive, as she is somewhat estranged from her father anyway. When he finds her list of requirements for the father of the babies she intends to have on her desk, he uses it to bait her, in the hopes of convincing her to marry him if only to have the babies she desires. The chemistry between Isabel and Alex is smoldering. Alex has not made time for women in the past in his quest to develop his company, CIS. He is captivated by Isabel, while still trying to stay on course with his revenge motive that he feels is justified. He does not want to lose Isabel in the process as he desperately needs her in his life. Isabel is drawn to Alex in spite of her eventual discovery of his revenge motive. The only thing missing is the knowledge that he loves her. This is a real "can't miss" romance.

Don't miss this book

Lucy Monroe has written another scorcher in Come Up And See Me Sometime. Alex Trahern has had plans to destroy John Harrison and his company for a few years. He blames Harrison for the death of his father. When Headhunter Isabel Harrison tries to lure Alex's top employee away, Alex plans on using Isabel to get to her father. But one look at her and other thoughts are filling his brain. Isabel loves her job of matching employers with top-notch employees. When Alex appears at her office to confront her, her breath is taken away. The magnetic Alex sweeps Isabel off her feet but she doesn't know about his takeover plans for her fathers business. Alex and Isabel each have strong issues from their past to overcome. Their passion and friendship lays a foundation for them to hopefully build upon. Lucy Monroe writes such strong male and female characters. You are drawn to their strengths but can see their human weakness as well. They are able willing to bend and compromise. And when conflict does arise it's dealt with beautifully. Lucy Monroe deserves a huge spot on any keeper shelf.
