Ratings and reviews

5 star Review Acquisition (Takeover Duet #1) by Chelle Bliss Be prepared this ends in a monumental cliff hanger......but, Chelle Bliss has already announced that the conclusion will release in late November. This is one of my favourite reads of 2017 and one I highly recommend. What happens when a one night stand, you never expect to meet again, turns out to be the CEO of a company determined to takeover the company you have given your all for? This is the predicament Intersteller Corp CEO Lauren Bradley finds herself in when uber Alpha Antonio Forte turns out to be the CEO of the rival company, Cozza Industries trying to force through a hostile takeover. Both are shocked to learn the others true identity but Lauren is determined to keep her company, particularly as a major breakthrough has just been achieved. On the other hand, Antonio sees no reason why they cannot separate business and pleasure. He is used to getting what he wants and he wants not only the company but Lauren too. What transpires is a story so well written that I was on the edge of my seat, totally riveted from start to finish. Antonio and Lauren are both strong, decisive leaders and a perfect partner for each other. All is not as it seems though as there is a mole at Intersteller Corp who is determined to bring both Lauren and the company down. The secondary characters, such as Lauren's best friend Tara were entertaining. Acquisition has it all; great chemistry, sizzling attraction, suspense, drama and intrigue. I have read several books by Chelle Bliss and I have to say that this may well be her best book to date. If I could have given 10 stars I would. I cannot wait to see where Ms. Bliss takes us when Merger releases in November.

Wow what a great start to a duet, Chelle Bliss has once again blown me away with her new 2 part series. I loved the characters especially Lauren Bradley who happens to hold a position that in most books is held by a man. Lauren Bradley CEO of Intersteller Corp , a company who are on the brink of releasing a jet engine that doesn’t use fuel as we know it. A bad day at the office sends Lauren to a local hotel bar where she has a few drinks, one drink leads to another and then a night of passion with a stranger. Antonio Forte is CEO of Cozza who are mounting a hostile takeover of Intersteller Corp...... A change meeting between two powerful CEO’s both determined to win, intrigue, a story that flows and some seriously hot scenes make this book a perfect read. I was hooked was the first chapter and I read it in one sitting, yes it ends on a cliffhanger but I understand we won’t be waiting too long for book two. Chelle Bliss has shown us just how diverse and talented she really is, great job great read.

The battle of the CEO's! Lauren Bradley's company is facing a hostile takeover. On the verge of making history with their newest engine design, Interstellar Corp is ready to battle for their independence. Antonio Forte and his company, Cozza International, are looking to use insider information to swoop in and take over Interstellar in an attempt to stay #1 in the industry. Looking to unwind after catching wind of a potential takeover, Lauren heads to the bar for a martini (or three). While getting her martini on, she meets a tall, dark, and handsome stranger. They bond over drinks, and then Lauren's martinis aren't the only things gettin' dirty. *wink wink* Fast forward to the morning after, when the heads of Cozza show up at the Interstellar offices, and low and behold, Mr. Tall, Dark, and Handsome is actually Mr. I Want to Steal Your Company. Ruh roh. Battle lines are drawn. Lauren isn't interested in anything Antonio has to say. She is bound and determined to save her company, but Antonio has other interests. Namely, spending a whole lot more time with Lauren, preferably outside a boardroom. And Antonio, the stubborn Italian that he is, isn't about to take no for an answer. The first half of Lauren and Antonio's story is sexy, with some sweet and swoony moments, and an unexpected suspense element at the end. The hostile takeover has shifted into a potential merger of Interstellar Corp and Cozza International, and Lauren and Antonio are facing the possibility of a future together as both lovers and business partners. Get ready for Merger -- the follow-up to this sexy enemies-to-lovers romance.
