Kristie J’s review of P.S. I Dare You (P.S., Book 3) by Winter Renshaw
Contemporary Romance published by Amazon Digital Services 26 Oct 18
I’ve been reading quite a few of this author’s books lately and loving them. This one is the third in the P.S. serie,s but, to be honest, is more of a stand-alone because the characters in the previous book are barely even mentioned. This is also shorter than the other books at only 189 pages, but the author tells quite a good story in those pages.
The heroine, Aerin, is kind of what would be a professional organizer. She is hired by different people and companies to help organize whatever needs to be done, whether it would be to find the perfect gift for someone or a weekend team building event. She does it all and is very good at doing it. She is contacted by the owner and CEO of a successful company to work for his son, who will be joining the business soon, due to the fact Calder Sr. is dying. Aerin’s not exactly thrilled and doesn’t really want to take the job, but the money is too hard to refuse and, thus, signs an iron-clad contract.
There is one problem – the man’s son, Calder Welles II, has no intention of working for his father. He hates his father and blames him for the death of his beloved mother. But Calder Sr. makes it impossible for Calder Jr. to refuse, because his detestable father threatens to sell the company – which was funded a good deal by his mother’s wealth – to the business that produced the experimental medical device that killed his mother.
When Calder finds out his father has hired him a “concierge,” it’s just another reason for him to loathe his father, especially when he meets Aerin. She’s wound up tight and he’s the opposite. He’s determined to get rid of her and she wants to quit, but because of the contract, they are stuck working together. But they say opposites attract and this is what happens to Calder and Aerin.
As I said, this is a short book, but it reads much longer. The author manages to write two well-developed characters and I liked both of them quite a bit. This is one I’m quite happy to recommend, along with the first two in this series.
Grade: B
Summary:
Dear Ms. Keane,
Before this ridiculous little arrangement commences, I’d like to make myself indubitably clear: I know who you are, I know that my father hired you, I know why my father hired you, and last but not least: your services aren’t needed.
In fact, I want no part of my father’s billion-dollar empire, and him “gifting” me with one of the “best concierges in the county” won’t change that. He’s wasting his money. You’re wasting your time.
However, seeing as how you foolishly signed an ironclad contract with an Act of God clause and my father has strong-armed me into taking this position, it appears as though we’re stuck together—at least until your contract is up next month.
That said, our time together at WellesTech should be relatively painless but please don’t fool yourself into thinking I don’t notice when that pretty little stare lingers a little too long or the way your breath catches when our hands graze. You’re fascinated by me and it kills you because you can hardly stand to be in the same room as me.
Think I’m a problem worth solving? An impossible riddle worth figuring out? By all means, go ahead and try. Solve for X. Crack the code. It might even be fun (but only for me, not you).
V/r,
Calder Welles, II
P.S. I dare you.
