He’s giving in to temptation this Christmas and bringing her pure satisfaction! Dive into this steamy final installment of Rebecca Hunter’s Fantasy Island trilogy! Bubbly Ruby Bisset is too young for CFO Adrian Wentworth…way too young for what he fantasizes about every time she parades through the office. That’s why he’s always kept the gorgeous twentysomething at a distance. Until they’re assigned to impersonate a loving couple at a Hawaiian resort over Christmas. In a luxury cabin. With one bed! Teased by the coconut scent of her hair and the glimpses of her smooth skin, Adrian can barely resist touching the little temptress. So when she goads him into kissing her under the mistletoe, he gives in. When their lips meet, he knows he’s in big trouble. Ruby may be younger than him, but she’s no innocent. She knows what she wants…and that’s him! Soon they’re indulging in tropical delights hot enough to make any HR manager pass out. And pretending to be a man in love feels more real by the moment. Getting close to Ruby leaves Adrian craving something he can’t have…but will what happens in Hawaii stay in Hawaii? Take control. Feel the rush. Explore your fantasies—Harlequin DARE publishes sexy romances featuring powerful alpha males and bold, fearless heroines exploring their deepest fantasies.

It covers every psychological aspect of satisfaction formation, and the contents are applicable to all consumables - product or service.Author Richard L. Oliver traces the history of consumer satisfaction from its earliest roots, and brings together the very latest thinking on the consequences of satisfying (or not satisfying) a firm's customers. He describes today's best practices in business, and broadens the determinants of satisfaction to include needs, quality, fairness, and regret ('what might have been').The book culminates in Oliver's detailed model of consumption processing and his satisfaction measurement scale.

Every company wants to turn its customers into true and lifelong fans. In this book, Roman Becker and Gregor Daschmann, the discoverers of the Fan Principle and FANOMICS, demonstrate how this can be actually accomplished. They transfer the mechanisms of fan relationships from sports, music, and art to those between companies and customers. What turns a customer into a “fan” customer? How are these identified? And how can the Fan Rate be managed and even increased? This book provides answers to all these questions. Based on surveys and interviews with more than 100,000 respondents, it becomes clear that fans have the highest customer value and therefore contribute significantly to the economic success of a company. However, in order to win fan customers and increase these numbers, a complete rethinking of customer relationship management and a departure from the customary key performance indicators is necessary. Taking this path is extremely worthwhile. Fan customers have an emotional connection to their provider and form a new, reliable “currency” - both as direct buyers and as active ambassadors. This a must-read for all business decision-makers who want to improve the quality of their customer relationships, while saving money and achieving more than just short-term success. From the contents: - Definition of fan customers and what “emotional customer loyalty” means - Distinct value of the fan customer as a value-added partner and ambassador - FANOMICS as a management program in customer relationship management - Concrete suggestions for implementing FANOMICS - Best practices and illustrative examples of tops and flops from the business world
