About the book:

The New York Times bestselling author of Watch Over Me delivers a steamy new novel of irresistible attraction in her popular Danvers series.

Mark DeSanto has never denied himself anything—especially in the bedroom. Rich, attractive, and successful, men envy him and women desire him. But when a sweet, guileless beauty faints at his feet, he suddenly finds himself wondering if it’s time to look for something more lasting...

Until her divorce, Crystal Webber never knew what it was like to follow her heart. Now she wants to experience all life has to offer. So when she catches a glimpse of Mark DeSanto in the halls of Danvers International, she’s instantly infatuated—and eager to join him for a walk on the wild side. Fainting at his feet wasn’t her plan, but at least it got his attention...

But for the first time, Mark wants to take things slow, which—considering the electricity between them—may take far more willpower than he’s ever had.

My Thoughts:

Crystal has been lusting over Mark DeSanto ever since his company set up offices in the building she works in.  Crystal gets up close and personal when she comes down with the flu and passes out in Mark’s arms, which was hilarious! There were several awkward revelations after Crystal comes to, but the episode endears her to Mark and they start seeing each other. 

Mark has no desire to have a steady relationship with a woman after witnessing the toxic marriage his parents have. One-night stands are his usual and frequent experience with women, but Crystal gets under his skin and so Mark decides to take a chance on love. 

The One for Me was pretty funny, and I liked that Sydney Landon diffused any drama with a dose of humor.  I love a couple that can laugh over difficulties, like Mark and Crystal did.  Crystal was a sweetheart and even though I wanted to shake her at times for being such a pushover with her mother and her ex-husband, I still liked her.  I seriously would’ve cut that woman (her mother) out of my life if it were me.  The obstacles that Mark and Crystal encounter were not because of their feelings, the drama came from their families.  As for Mark, I sort of got a 50 Shades/Christian Grey vibe from him without the BDSM, though. Yum!  While Always Loving You is still my favorite of the series, The One for Me was a fast and fun installment.
