Dr. CEO by Louise BayMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Vincent Cove is a billionaire property developer/investor, a self-made man who never stays in one place for long.
Kate spent her early years in chaos, since the age of seven she has lived on the Crompton Estate with her beloved granny, latterly working in the estate's tea shop by day and the pub/inn at night. After her childhood, Kate never wants to leave the love and warmth of the small group of people who live and work in the estate.
Vincent is visiting the estate incognito with a view to potentially buying it from the Earl and turning it into a 5 star hotel. Whilst there he meets Kate at the tea shop and she serves him that evening in the pub. One thing leads to another and they spend an unforgettable night together, but all that turns to dust when Kate discovers Vincent will be turfing them out of their cottages (and moving them into purpose-built housing nearby) and putting them out of jobs (although offering to retrain everyone).
This was just okay for me. I found it difficult to reconcile the sexually confident, deeply insightful, woman with the woman who was too scared to leave the estate to look at a house literally five minutes away. Otherwise, catnip!
