Adrenalin Book 2: Privileged by Michele Lenard

 

Adrenalin Book 2

I'm one bad decision away from losing everything.

Carter - I’m used to pressure. Used to privilege. What I’m not used to? Having the fate of an entire town resting on my shoulders, and my long dormant libido smacking me in the face mid-back rub.

That’s what happened on Monday morning, when my assistant sent in a masseuse—and in walked Sloan. With strong hands, soft eyes, and a very firm directive for me to undress... Let’s just say it relieved the tension, though not in the way I was expecting.

It should have been a one-time thing. A tension-reliever. A professional service.

Instead, it’s my undoing.

Because Sloan isn’t just anyone. He’s an employee. The one person I should never touch—especially with my father on the board that decides whether I sink or save the ski resort that keeps this small town alive.

And yet, every time I look at Sloan, every rule I’ve lived by starts to unravel.

I can fix the resort. I can fix my relationship with my father. But can I do it without destroying the one man who makes me feel like I’ve finally found home?

My Review: 4/5 Stars

No one can get a read on the mysterious new owner of the ski resort. Carter keeps to himself and in doing so, everyone in town has formed some sort of negative opinion about him. But when Sloan’s job as a masseuse at the resort leads to his boss, Carter, being his client, he realizes there is a lot more to Carter than anyone realizes. That and the fact that there is a very strong attraction between them. But Sloan won’t break the rules and risk his job and reputation if he crosses the line. And even Carter knows that dating employee is asking for trouble. But the more they get to the know one another, the stronger their feelings are until eventually they find them crossing the line they would never risk. But for each other? For the chance that this pull between them is more than just attraction? Well, it may just be a risk they are willing to take. I loved how these two were very aware of their professional boundaries but gave themselves a chance to explore their connection. They took a risk for love and it was worth it in the end. There are still plenty of obstacles as they navigate this new relationship between them, but they definitely deserve their happy ending!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
