British hotelier Ian Gregson had it all – wealth, good looks, power, and a share in his family’s worldwide, multi-billion dollar luxury hotel chain. His very name was synonymous with sophistication and elegance, and any woman he wanted could be his with just a look. But the only woman he truly desired was strictly forbidden to him for too many reasons to count.
Tessa Lockwood was young, beautiful, and lonely, despite the fact that she was a married woman. Her life had not been an easy one, and the extravagant world she caught glimpses of as an employee of the Gregson Hotel Group was far beyond anything she could ever dream of. She could no more imagine herself ensconced in that sort of luxurious lifestyle than she could attracting the attention of her handsome, debonair boss.
Ian and Tessa secretly long for each other from afar, never daring to reveal their forbidden attraction to the other, until circumstances bring them together in a very unexpected way. And from that point on, nothing will stand in Ian’s way to finally make her his.
AUTHOR’S NOTE – despite what you might be thinking at this point, there is NO cheating in this story – just an incredibly romantic hero who will make you swoon with the way in which he sweeps the heroine off her feet!

Splendor Inevitable #2 edition by Janet Nissenson Contemporary Romance eBooks Reviews
I have been through a dry spell lately. Nothing I read was inspiring me to keep reading. I was finding myself heartily distracted and unmotivated to read. This is SO unlike me that I was getting pretty worried that maybe I needed to take a break from reading. And then I found this book. It has redeemed my faith and I stayed up until 4 AM reading.
This is a long book. Even though I read like crazy, I couldn’t finish it in one night. While this story would be easy to include in the ‘billionaire-ingénue’ trope that is taking contemporary romance by storm. But that would be underselling this book. While it does have a billionaire, he is forty, not twenty something. While there is a young, impressionable woman, she has paid her dues in life. While there are some complications to the plot, there is not the rapid escalation of life changing events like there are in Fifty Shades or Crossfire.
When I was reading this book, I kept looking at the percentage tracker on my kindle. I kept wondering when the big conflict and misunderstanding would happen. But it never really came. The characters in this relationship spend the majority of the book getting to know one another and the story follows them while they explore their motivations, desires and future. It’s different than others in this genre.
I really liked Ian. I love the name as it reminds me of Almost Heaven by Judith McNaught. He was British (yay), he was older (yessss), he was hot (whew) and he was intelligent (super). There was not much to dislike about Ian. He repeatedly told Tessa that he wanted a partnership with her, not to control or dominate her. I liked that about him. When I think of Christian Grey, he defines control. It was refreshing to read about a mature man. Ian has friends, family and a strong sense of responsibility for his employees. I found myself respecting this character.
My feelings about Tessa are more complex. While I definitely felt for the character as she truly has had a terrible hand in life, her evolution had me questioning things. In other books like this, the lead characters like Anastasia, give up their lives for the men they fall in love with. While there is nothing wrong with this per se, it’s just something I have trouble relating to. Another conundrum I had while reading this book (and others like it) is that the female characters are so virtuous and good. Ian spoils Tessa with designer fashions on a regular basis. She is constantly telling him to stop and doesn’t want to accept the clothes. This makes me feel like a schmuck. I would be thrilled to have the beautiful wardrobe. I think I came to a realization when I read this book. I find it harder (not impossible) to relate to women like Tessa because I am a greedy b*tch. I would not be that self-sacrificing. I sound so mercenary, but what girl would be happy to keep a Forever 21 wardrobe over being spoiled rotten with luxurious garments.
Tessa has a terrible past. She is married when she meets Ian, but don’t worry. There is no cheating in this book. It takes a long time for things to work so they can be together. Once they are, I loved that Ian took care of Tessa. He was so kind and careful with her. It was kind of fun to see the guy be the one so worried about screwing it up. Tessa has no family and very little friends. While Ian becomes her whole world, this wouldn’t be different if she had dated someone else. Tessa isn’t a perfect character – she is beautiful, fit and considerate, but she also is outrageously shy and insecure.
Tessa and Ian have great sex. It’s like the honeymoon phase of a relationship. It was so funny how Ian worried about the fifteen year difference and upped his protein intake in order to keep up with her. Not to give a lot away, but Tessa is very inexperienced, despite being married. I really liked seeing her blossom under Ian’s care. While the sex is frequent, it helped to bind the characters together for me. I liked seeing Tessa become confident in her body and sexuality as the story progressed.
Great secondary characters complete the story. The employees at the hotel and Tessa and Ian’s friends provide a good context for the characters. I liked Ian’s parents and of course Mrs. C was just awesome!
This was a great book. I was surprised that there wasn’t the big misunderstanding that I was expecting, but now I am so glad. It was a very romantic and heady story about two people falling in love.
Splendor by Janet Nissenson is the second book in the Inevitable Series.
Every book can be read as a stand-alone, but I recommend to read in order. There are crossovers from previous books- and the series is so great.
This is Ian and Tessa's book.
Ian Gregson, 37 year old, filthy rich has a high profile position in his family's company, the Gregson Group.
And there's Tessa Lockwood, a 22 year old married member of his company's Management Support Team. Tessa is lonely, shy and a bit needy- she relies on her husband and best friend Peter.
One look at Tessa and Ian is smitten.
Fast forward- two years later, Peter has left Tessa and they are divorced. And now Ian has his chance. And oh boy does he takes it ! They start a beautiful relationship, first in secret and later on a open one. Ian and Tessa love each other so much. You can feel their love and emotions in the beautiful words.
This story is beautifully thought out, beautifully written and beautifully told.
I give 5 Stars and Thank you Janet Nissenson !
Having read the first book in this series and the follow up novella, it seems I’m a glutton for punishment because I subjected myself to this rubbish.
Briefly, Ian is a hotelier, British and single. Tessa is a quiet and shy girl who works in his office. He wants her the minute he sees her but she’s married so he’s not going there with a married woman, although Tessa’s marriage isn’t a normal one. At a fairly early point in the story Tessa becomes divorced so Ian is after her all guns blazing.
Once I reached that point in this story I thought well what next? The simple answer is, nothing, that’s right nothing. Just page after page of him buying her loads of clothes, so once again as in the previous book the reader is subjected to a never ending list of designer clothes, boring beyond belief, even the the brand of the mattress on Ian’s bed was mentioned. Then of course they have copious amounts of sex, he’s hot, she’s hot, that’s mentioned loads, yes I got it they’re hot both of them. Very repetitive, the writing at times felt like I was reading a period romance, for example the first time Ian grabs Tessa and kisses her she tells him he’s splendid, lol seriously. Tessa also thought Ian’s house was full of splendour. I suppose that’s why the books called that. This is one of those books that I wanted to skip pages because nothing happens. This story could have been done in a hundred pages or less.
I can't wait to read what comes next
This was a good love story and I really enjoyed it, but it was a little too long for me.
I really love this author. This series of stand alone novels are some of the best I have read in a long time. The only reason I haven't 5 starred these fabulous connected stories is that there is too much sex as filler scenes. The books are very hot reads but the sex and the sex talk is very repetitive
DONE bad luck on
Wednesday ? my bad luck day is Thursday for sure. Another wonderfully written, sad, fun, sexy, and drama filled romance Thanks Janet for such a great book
Loved Ian and his patience and love for Tessa. What a great saga I cant wait for next book
