   I found the first book's premise quite novel; I loved it the first time I read it. The second book is about meeting, getting to know, and falling in love with a domineering CEO, living a carefree, easy life without having to work. The last book was quite interesting; the male lead isn't a true domineering CEO, because I think the real domineering CEO is his older brother, and he's the second son, so he and the female lead have more freedom, which is something I liked. Anyway, it's a great book.
