Review: To Sin with the Tycoon (Mills & Boon Modern) (Seven Sexy Sins - Book 1) by Cathy Williams

To Sin with the Tycoon (Mills & Boon Modern) by Cathy Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’ve read dozens of books by this author…some I liked and some not…kind of a hit and miss for me….but I always look forward to reading her latest…just in case it turns out to be a hit for me!!

Surprise…..her newest book, To Sin with the Tycoon was a definite hit for me. The 1st in the Seven Sexy Sins Series which does a take on sloth…and what a good word to describe the hero, Gabriel Cabrera (love his name…)….if anyone is suffering from emotional apathy it’s this guy!!!! Of course he stresses that he’s always honest about his feelings with everyone…in particular with the woman who are in and out of his bed!!!!!

More later about the sinfully gorgeous Gabriel..let me begin with saying that this is an office romance with a bit of a difference. Yes, a hell of a difference. This is not about a boss taking over his PA’s life and calling the shots….no, this is where the PA does the calling!!

You see, Gabriel is a total womanizer, has no time for relationships, emotions and even in his work life he shows a bit of laziness and hey, I’m rich…I can do anything I want, anytime I want, with anyone I want!!!! Well, he’s in for a big big surprise!!!!!

And that is when he hires Alice Morgan as his newest PA..after firing dozens before. Hey, he has no time for woman working for him, who fall in love with him. He does not mix business with pleasure…so Alice will be most suitable…she’s plain, boring and somewhat uptight…certainly not his type of woman..he likes sexy airheads, which is something Alice is not!!

I absolutely adored Alice. She may have daddy and men issues..who wouldn’t with a dog for a father and another dog for her ex…..she’s not exactly a virgin but her experience with men so far has been really nothing to write home about…so I guess she’s more of a virginal innocent…or for a better description…not very experienced!!!

Now, she’s determined not to become another notch in Gabriel’s bedpost even though she thinks he’s HOT……..but sometimes we just have to give in to our “basic” instincts…which she does when Gabriel sneakily gets her to go to Paris on a business trip with him…with some devious intentions…because by now Gabriel is pretty consumed by this woman who just does not fall into his bed!!!! Now, he thinks he has everything wrapped up….and then BAM……….he gets his wish…Alice in his bed..BUT…and a HUGE BUT….on her terms and not his!!!! Despite the hotness in bed...and hey, does Gabriel know his way around a bed.............but Alice wants more than a hot sex....Take that Casanova!!!!

Alice does not let the magic of Paris and Gabriel take over her head, which is in the right place……
Tells him she will spend time in and out of his bed but once back home, things will go back to what they were before….like…little Paris affair will only last for the duration of the Paris trip.

Talk about shock……..Gabriel is so shocked…is he not the one who decides when the affair will end? How can this be happening to him??? This is crazy.

So okay, if that is what she wants….he’s okay with that. He fires her and goes on with his life without Alice, despite her being the first woman he has truly liked being with…in and out of bed naturally!!!!

I adored the interaction and dialogue between the two……funny, sweet and totally lovely……….

I’m not giving anything else away…..how much groveling he has to do before she gives in to him….what, did you ever doubt they would have a HEA????? Of course, they do.
The hero always gets the heroine in the end………I just loved that!!!!!

Gabriel & Alice are one of the most adorable couple ever.

I so enjoyed this read.
