Exquisite Reviews - Obsession by Design (The Weathermen Book 2)
I was not disappointed with this book at all, it gave me everything I wanted and more. I love, love, love, Emmett did I mention that I love him. He is an in your face, tell it like it is kind of man. Hes an alpha male and he knows it but the more you get to know him, you find yourself falling in love and wishing he was real. I enjoyed the first book and loved Ace but Emmett gave me a vulnerable side that I didn't get in the first book. I loved how he developed throughout the book and made sure he didn't leave Liane behind. Ravenna Tate does a great job mixing the sci-fi and romance within the

Awesome!
I loved this book so much. Emmett and Laine are perfect for each other. I was kind of ticked off with him at first by dragging her past up but he made up for it in the long run. It was also interesting to see them go "above ground" to retrieve a dagger. This is such a good series and I can't wait until the next book!!!!

Obsession by Design
On her first day at work, Liane Peyton finds out Emmett Radcliffe hired her to build a secret database and soon discovers that saving the planet isn't Emmetts only obsession in this sexsational futuristic erotic romance. I was completely charmed by this quick and deliciously sexy story and I have to say that I got quite a kick at the unconventional but truly fitting way the Weathermen dealt with that jerk.
