Review of The Executive by K.I. Lynn
When Ivy runs into a hot guy in front of the elevator right before her interview, she's gleeful that he leaves her with an invitation to dinner. But not so gleeful when he turns out to be the CEO interviewing her for the position as his right hand woman. Sigh...
Lincoln is a powerful, brooding man, damaged by the loss of someone he loved. He has little time for relationships, emotional attachments, anything but pleasure and attaining the vengeance he so craves. He's less than thrilled that the beauty who ran into him turns out to be interviewing for the position of his assistant. He knows he should stay away from her, but he can't get her out of his head, even as he bites her head off all day long in the office. Soon the two are entwined in each other's lives. But his quest for vengeance will make for a huge obstacle in his conquest of Ivy's everything. Can he keep her AND get his vengeance? Or are the two mutually exclusive?
The Executive may follow a certain tried and true formula (powerful, sexy but damaged man on a quest for vengeance) but it's not cookie cutter or shallow by any means. Lincoln in particular is a fascinating, layered character. I loved watching him struggle to quantify his feelings for Ivy and just how those feelings fit into his quest for vengeance. Ivy was a bit less interesting than Lincoln, but she was the perfect foil for his deep, damaged character. And their chemistry was electric! Whew.
I loved Welcome to the Cameo Hotel, which is the only other writing by the author that I've read, but I think The Executive just might have it beat. It's powerful storytelling with two interesting, substantive characters, intense passion and a storyline that never once lagged in intensity and readability. I am looking forward to much, much more from this author.
