Double Standards

Double Standards by Judith McNaught
My rating (out of 5 stars):

3 stars—I liked it.

Amazon Description:

“In the exclusive, glittering world of business superstars, Nick Sinclair was a legend... The ruggedly handsome president of Global Industries handled his business the way he handled his women -- with charm, daring and ruthless self-control. A man used to the very best, Nick hired Lauren Danner, and assumed the proud beauty would soon be another easy conquest. But Lauren's flashing wit and rare spirit dazzled him -- and slowly, against his will, he was intrigued, challenged -- and in love.
Yet Lauren was living a lie, a charade that became more dangerous with every passing moment. Trapped in a web of deceit, she fought her growing love for Nick. Her secret could destroy his fragile trust -- and the promise of life with the most compelling man she had ever met!”

My Thoughts:

While I liked this book, and always like McNaught’s work, this one was a bit of bore for me. McNaught usually pulls me in with strong emotion and characters, but this one was lacking. The characters were one-dimensional and the emotion felt forced. Way too much unnecessary drama added in!

Who Should Read?:

Romance friends…if you are a McNaught fan you should give it a try! If you haven’t read McNaught before, start with a different one…maybe try “A Kingdom of Dreams.”
