Breaching the Billionaire

Breaching the Billionaire by Ruth Cardello 

Alethea is at a crossroad. For as long as she could remember, it was her and her best friend, Lil, against the world. Now that Lil has met Prince "I have my own helicopter" Charming and reconnected with her family, Alethea is on the outside looking in, justifying who she's always been to people who have never understood her. When she uncovers a looming threat to Lil's family, she's determined to save them, even after they tell her not to get involved and assign their best man to stop her.

Marc Stone has been watching Alethea ever since she waltzed through his security system and right into his late night fantasies. As a decorated Marine, he's seen war, but nothing could prepare him for this wild redhead. Strong. Beautiful. Flawed, and fiercely protective. Hard to love, and impossible to deny.

If she'll stop fighting him long enough, he'll show her just how perfect they are for each other. That is, if she doesn't get them both killed first.**

We meet Alethea in the very first book, not much to see of her really but we see more of her in Lil's book as we should because she is Alethea's best friend. Alethea is a trouble maker and does whatever she feels like she needs to prove her point. She gets feelings and will stop at nothing to make sure people heed her warnings/feelings.

Marc is head of Corsi security and Alethea is a pain in the ass. She also is the star of his dreams right now. He has to keep her immobilized so that she doesn't get in the way. She won't let go though, she keeps him at arm's length even though he can tell she wants to have her way with him just as much as he wants her.

Alethea has been hurt before so I can see why she keeps people at arm's length, but her attitude got on my nerves. I didn't love her character at all. Marc was ok but I wasn't wowed by him. I enjoyed this series very much even if I didn't enjoy some of the characters!
