Hostile Takeover by Lucy Lennox
BOOK BLURB
It was supposed to be a prank. A silly frat boy dare.
One hot moment in a hidden storage closet. One kiss. No consequences.
But if you get that close to a man with fire in his eyes, you’re gonna get burned, and I was no exception. One taste of Grey Blackwood ruined me for life.
The way Grey sees it, I was the one who did the ruining. I humiliated him. Wrecked his life. Destroyed his future.
Doesn’t matter that he’s clawed his way back and then some. Doesn’t matter that he’s already top of the Wall Street food chain. The man’s ruthless. Heartless. And he likes his revenge served cold.
Now he’s taking down the companies owned by every frat boy who did him wrong. And when he comes for my family’s company, the quiet life I’ve built for myself far away from Manhattan comes crumbling down, too.
But when Grey’s standing in our boardroom, threatening a hostile takeover and demanding I negotiate on behalf of my family, I don’t see an enemy. I see the chance I’ve been waiting for.
The chance for another night in his arms, and hopefully a whole lot more.
Let the negotiations begin.
Hostile Takeover is a full-length, standalone novel.

REVIEW
I have to admit I went into this book with this idea in my head that I knew how this book would go. I was so wrong! In college, Grey was the victim of what should have been an innocent dare. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case. Ellison's intentions were purely selfish and had nothing to do with actually fulfilling the terms of the dare. As a reader we know this. Grey does not. Grey's house of cards he's building for his future come tumbling down in a devastating manner.
Jump to the present. Grey has executed a hostile takeover of Ellison's family business. Without giving away too much of the plot, Grey finds a way to convince Ellison to smooth the transition over from York to Blackwood holdings. The dynamic between these men was delicious. The enemies to lovers vibe continued to build the tension between the characters.
I absolutely loved Ellison's character. You would expect him to be this spoiled rich jerk, but he isn't. And Grey presents himself as the self-made billionaire alphahole. But underneath his mask he isn't. Ellison is vulnerable through the whole book, and quite a bit of scenes tugged on my heartstrings. It took a while for Ellison to break through Grey's walls, but when he did it was beautiful.
I wanted to rate the book a full 5, but I wasn't as obsessed with them as I wished I was. This is through no fault of the author, but more because I'm a mood reader. My mood is a bit darker than Hostile Takeover at the moment. But as always I enjoyed Lucy's writing.
