Anything He Wants
Lucy Delacourt's temp position isn't quite her dream job but it pays the bills. The highlight of her day is riding the elevator in the mornings with a handsome stranger. But everything changes when the stranger seduces her. Completely out of character, she yields without a fight, but she has no idea her wanton acts with a man whose name she doesn't know will change her life forever. Because the sexy stranger is none other than Jeremiah Hamilton, billionaire CEO of Hamilton Industries, and one taste isn't nearly enough to satisfy his need.

Castaway
As the billionaire pulls Lucy deeper into his world of high stakes business deals and ruthless takeovers, he demands nothing less than her complete surrender. But Jeremiah has no place in his life for love, and as Lucy falls deeper for him, she risks having her heart shattered. Making matters worse, Jeremiah's fiercest rival is determined to steal Lucy's affection...and to do it, he'll show her the sinister side of Jeremiah's opulent world. With nowhere to turn and no one to trust, there's only one thing Lucy knows for sure: she'll never be free from Jeremiah's sweet possession.

I received a copy of Anything He Wants courtesy of the publisher and NetGalley.Lucy is an intern, and sees a hot guy in the elevator every day at work. After they have an encounter on morning, she finds out the temp agency she works for is doing layoffs, and Jeremiaha is about to offer her a job she can't refuse.I was happily surprised with Anything He Wants, being that it was all in one book form, when I'd seen them previously as separate books. It reminded me a little of Fifty Shades, but it still had it's own story line and steamy but not raunchy scenes. Well, a little raunchy. The trip to Paris ended with a surprise, and I found myself wondering just how they were going to recover from the incident that happened there, but happily they did, with a little action involved. The very end of the book was way to abrupt, and I'm really hoping Ms Fawkes elaborates in another installment, because I want to know what happened!

This book. How do I explain how I feel about this book? My feelings toward this book are very complicated. Why? I found the book entertaining, but it was also horrible. The things that entertained me were the worst parts. A good example of this is the horrible quality of the writing itself. The writing was repetitive to the max. One of the favorite repeated phrases in the sex scenes was the main character's "weeping entrance". It was inspiring thoughts of either weeping blisters and hives or the Weeping Angels of Doctor Who. Neither of those images are really conductive to setting up a hot scene. And when this happens in almost every chapter--sometimes multiple times in a single chapter--it becomes really hard to take. I didn't know if I should just laugh at that particular issue or throw the book at the television. It was really confusing. There were other things that were regularly repeated, which mainly had to do with Jeremiah's genitalia. It felt like the writer lacked the creativity to come up with any other descriptions of the characters.There were some spelling and grammar issues, as well. The most memorable one for me was where Lucy was noticing how the "sunlight shown" into the room. I've heard that sometimes publishers leave grammar mistakes in to ward off bad luck, so maybe that's why that particular noticeable error got left in this story. Aside from the bad writing, there was the problem of just how disgustingly abusive Jeremiah was. You think that Christian Grey is bad? Jeremiah is, in many ways, much, much worse. Where Christian kissed Ana on the elevator before she knew of his sexual proclivities, but after they had actually had a few conversations, Jeremiah fingers Lucy on the elevator the very first time he is on the elevator alone with her. He didn't even know her name before that day and she didn't know his until the next day. And he didn't have permission by her to finger her. She was attracted to him, which he took to mean that he could do whatever he wanted without ever asking. The next meeting with him is more intense and more grotesque. He sneaks up on her, has sex with her, and then offers her a ride home, but seems shocked when she doesn't want to get in the car with a man whose name she doesn't know and who just had sex with her without getting consent.The next day, she finds out who he is and that he knows a lot about who she is. After terrifying her by having her come to his office, he tells her that he's been planning on firing all the temps, which is what she is, but that he wants to hire her as his personal assistant. Part of her duties include doing, as the title says, anything he wants. Because Lucy is poor and no one else is hiring, she sees the job as being necessary to her survival. This is coercive. It is sexual harassment. It is abusive. Her choice has essentially been taken away and she even admits as much. Lucy has been stripped of her basic rights & dignity and we're just 3 chapters into the story.Of course, there's the nice-ish side to Jeremiah. There's the side that some people might see as being caring and compassionate. Usually, it is just him throwing a tantrum about how he hired her to whatever he wants. And the tantrums work. He gets what he wants over and over again. This is not a Dominant and submissive relationship. This is an overgrown toddler dehumanizing a woman who has been through enough trauma and grief already in her young life.Most of the book is about sex between Jeremiah and Lucy. It seems that it's used to distract the reader from noticing that there's not really any development of the characters or the plot. The suspenseful part of the book isn't that suspenseful. It's just random acts of nakedness and violence thrown together in a very haphazard sort of way.I may read the sequel to this story, but I will only be doing so if I see it at my local library. I would not buy it and I'm reconsidering my desire to read any other works by this author.

So stunningly bad, I have almost no words Our female lead signs a contract to be a rich man's full-time prostitute (no judgment, women get to make their own choices about their bodies) and then refers to him constantly as her lover, and is upset that he looks at her simply as the woman he is sleeping with. She signed a contract agreeing to do anything he wanted after having sex with him (for free) in an elevator and parking garage. The relationship seems well defined. But she is in love! Why we do not know, but the sex seems well above average from her perspective (not even vaguely erotic from mine.) People are escaping an international ring of murderers in England and the "heroine" stops to observe that it felt weird to get into the passenger seat on the wrong side. A woman is nearly raped at gunpoint, and her immediate reaction upon being saved is to beg for sex from her kidnapper. She flees across nations with killers at her heels, and when her plane lands the only thing she wants to do is go shopping so she can feel girly. No one has a sense of humor, though I got to laugh a lot. Just awful.
