“Opal Carew gives readers a taste of the forbidden.” –Romance Reviews Today
He’s about to take control of her body…and her dream.
When River set up a fundraiser to kick start her nail polish business, she never expected someone to pay five thousand dollars just to have dinner with her. But when she meets her mysterious benefactor, he turns out to be billionaire Kane Winters—the one man from her past who she never wanted to see again.
Kane is determined to right the wrong that happened to River in college—because of him. She’s been an obsession he can’t escape…and Kane wants River more than he’s ever wanted anything. So he offers her a deal she can’t refuse: marry him and her business will be success. But River’s knight in shining armor isn’t looking for a platonic business deal. He wants their marriage to be real…in every way.
“Carew brings erotic romance to a whole new level…she sets your senses on fire!” – Reader to Reader
From bestselling author Opal Carew comes her next erotic romance, Nailed.
Cocktails and Books received this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect our opinion of the book or the content of our review.
This is my first book by Ms. Carew and I picked it up because it sounded cute.
The Billionaire who wants a woman who is resistant, he uses the carrot of helping her business to get the marriage he wants – what could go wrong, right?
I will admit that I didn’t go into Nailed expecting a griping, emotional read. I was looking for a fun, cute, entertaining read. The book that I got was a bit jumbled, the story couldn’t seem to make up its mind between sexy/romantic and emotional/angst.
I bounced between liking River and Kane and being annoyed with them. Conflicts new and old were just swept away and never really dealt with as their relationship progressed. When the two finally do seem to make real emotional progress, a wrench gets thrown into the mix that leaves the ending of the book a little flat.
Overall, this was an okay read. It was quick and fun, but I felt like a lot of potential got left on the table in terms of conflicts and emotional avenues that could have been explored.
