Which describes Adrienne fairly well (although that doesn't mean she can't be sweet or vulnerable when it comes to Amber). I really loved Adrienne, largely because I love alpha females who can be overly dominating and self centered. It's about fixing a dysfunctional relationship, not the wonders of a perfect one.which tbh is a lot more interesting for me.) It's about an established relationship and how it changes. This is more like a marriage novel in some ways. People say that you get a lot of 'getting together' novels but not a lot of marriage novels. They're both changing, and they're learning how to negotiate what they want for each other. How Adrienne, who is in her first relationship with a woman, is coming to understand what it is to be queer, how she relates to the queer community, and how Amber is learning that she wants a relationship that isn't just about sex and money. I would say the focus of this book is less the sexual/romantic side of Amber and Adrienne's relationship and more how Amber and Adrienne are developing as people together. While this book does have a ton of sex scenes, it also has a very literary side. Or do have a solid backbone of character development and plot. Did not expect it to clock in at around 500 pages like it did, that's for certain. Judging only on the cover, I thought it would be largely erotica without plot, and probably a rather quick read. In many ways, this book isn't what I expected. Well, I guess I have a new favorite f/f romance.

They're going to survive ex-lovers, a media play that refuses to release them, and enough sex to burn down their city in sinful flames. But for two women who should never be together to make it through this rocky patch, they're going to have to admit more than their love.

The longer she stays with Adrienne, the more she falls in love with more than just her money. Amber is no longer satisfied with the sugar baby lifestyle. Now, months later, one of the most over the top same-sex couples has reached an impasse. Amber Mayview made her intentions clear from the moment she first seduced Adrienne: this was all about sex and money, a relationship of mutual needs and satisfactions. That's why it was so easy to start dating her business partner's smart and gorgeous executive assistant. especially when her recent bisexual awakening leaves her more confused than her confidence likes to admit.

As the co-owner of one of America's biggest corporations, the young billionaire doesn't have time to date. Business and pleasure tend to mix in the high-stakes world Adrienne Thomas breathes. She's the richest woman in a city built on billions of dollars, and she's got the trophy girlfriend to prove it.
