This is the second Emily McIntire 'Never After' book I've read, and I can't help but notice the similarities between this one and Hooked. A powerful business man, a rich yet kinda pathetic daughter, an emotionally distant father figure. The male lead trying to win over the female lead in order to have influence over the father, a finale of a kidnap and fight at gunpoint. 
 
If this continues to be a trend in these books I can see it getting old, but it was bearable reading it for a second time.
 
I'm just glad this one didn't end with a 'happy' ending of them having children, which meant I gave it a slightly higher rating than Hooked, and I did think the plot was more interesting than Hooked. 
 
However, the last three lines of this one made me cringe so badly - they just felt so out of place and performative... I actually howled and grimaced with second-hand embarrassment when I read them.
