BLURB:
Thorn From the first time I played army as a kid, the military has been my life. As an Airborne Major, I’d led my men through two tours in Afghanistan. But when my father was elected president, I became an even greater target for the enemy—a prize for someone to take out. To ensure not only the safety of myself, but of my men, I got stripped of my cammies, shoved into an Armani suit, and placed into a management position at my father’s company. After years of trekking through the desert with an assault rifle, I was way out of my area of expertise, which my transition coordinator was more than happy to let me know on a daily, if not hourly basis. The brunette bombshell would be the death of me in more ways than one, especially since I hadn’t been with a woman since my last deployment. She’s turning out to be one of the greatest foes I’ve ever done battle with. Isabel In the backwoods Georgia town I was born in, you either married right out of high school or got the hell out of town. I chose the second and never looked back. After graduating top in my class, I started working for The Callahan Corporation. Fast forward five years and I was about to become the youngest female manager in the history of my department. And then all the blood, sweat, and tears I’d put into my career were for nothing when the boss’s billionaire son was handed my position on a silver platter. Not only that, I was expected to help transition him into the job that was supposed to be mine. Sure, he’s easy on the eyes with his chiseled good-looks and impossibly built physique, but I’m not going to let that distract me. I hope soldier boy is good at military strategy because sabotage is the name of the game I’ll be playing.

Five Stars
Isabel is a force to be reckon with in the business world. Coming from a small town without money has made her determined to show the world she can make it on her own.
Thorn is the President's son and a veteran. He doesn't want to be out of the military, but security reasons force him stateside. He is trying to acclimate himself to civilian life, but he is finding it harder than it seems.
Thorn is given a position at his dad's company. On his first day, he learns more about Isabel than he was bargaining for, but the most important fact is that he took her position. Will Thorn and Isabel learn to work together for the sake of the business, or will the tension rise until they bust?
Isabel's character was a perfectionist. She worked hard to get where she was in life and wasn't going to let anyone stand in her way. She was also a worrier. She was caring and focused a lot of her attention on helping her friends and family.
Thorn was an angry person going through the motions. He suffered from PTSD and was stuck with a secret security agent who watched his every move.
I loved this story. The back and forth, the tension, the secondary characters, the situations these two found themselves in were perfect for this enemies, to friends, to lovers romance. They had a fun friendship and it showed in their relationship.
I also loved the other characters especially Barrett and Ty. They brought a lot of comedic relief to two characters who were very much rule followers. I'm going to need to go back and read Barrett's book and I really hope Ty gets his own book. He was such a mysterious character who seemed to know more than what he let on.
