I know I’d lose everything if I fell in love with you.
Meet Constance, a scrupulous and by-the-book accountant. When she's assigned to investigate a casino's finances, she visits the casino with the bad reputation. If there are any illegal activities afoot, she’s confident she’ll uncover them. Then, she meets John Fairweather, the CEO of the casino. Flashing an irresistible smile, he compliments her and plants his lips on hers! Is this the game he’ll play to undermine her work? Bewildered by John’s uninhibited behavior, Constance can’t entirely suppress her desire for him…though she’s acutely aware that she’d lose everything if she ever got involved with him.

My Review:
I am going to mention again that this is a book I received through NetGalley by the publisher.
I was scrolling through the page when I saw that they had manga available. And then I saw that some of the titles were Harlequin books adapted into the manga format. I nearly lost my mind because I didn't know they did that and found it so cool.
Then I requested two and was happy to get approved. One of them was this book. A High Stakes Seduction. A book about a businesswoman who is not looking for love or any kind of relationship, she just wants to do her job and do it right. It just so happens that her new assignment at a casino leads her to meet the very handsome playboy owner of said casino. And although this is a romance so obviously their relationship will go through changes.
I felt dumb when the main character's serious personality and passion for her work went out the window when the owner f the casino made a move. It bothered me because she could have kept her seriousness and get affected by the guy. It's possible. But not for Constance.
Although Im not gonna lie their interations were cute and I was rooting for them to end up tgether. Also, I dont know if its just me but was I the only one who suspected the uncle right away. Or have I been reading too many mysteries.
In the end, I felt that it was a quick and easy read, that had good characters and an intriguing ending. I'm just gonna say that they tied things up at the end like they do in telenovelas.
