    This is the most enjoyable contemporary romance novel I've read this year. It's a pinnacle of intellectual romance, not suitable for younger readers with little social experience. The business warfare parts are incredibly thrilling, and the romance between the two strong characters is particularly captivating. The writing is superb, and the background setting is also quite impressive. The only problem is that I don't have any replacements. If anyone can find a book of this caliber, please recommend one to me. I'm sincerely asking; I really can't find anything else!
