Publishing on Tuesday, this is the 2nd book in Bateman‘s Ruthless Rivals series. I liked it even more than the first. It‘s well-written with no weird euphemisms, an adventurous storyline, and a thoroughly entertaining couple. Bateman excels at writing sleazy, smarmy villains who make my skin crawl. Like in all good romance novels, good triumphs over evil and we get our HEA. It also has a baby-free epilogue, which is rare.
