My Review:

Not having read any of Alicia Rae’s works before, I didn’t know what to expect of the book and just the story as a whole. Needless to say, I was impressed with the characters and how swooned worthy Damien Heathman was going to be. 

Right at the beginning of the book we meet Raelyn Jennings, she is a co-owner of a prestigious accounting firm who deals with a lot of people among them wealthy CEO, Damien Heathman. Her friend and co-owner has dealt with Damien for a very long time, but due to a traumatic health prognosis she had to take care of herself away from work. Now she is back and ready to tackle anything that comes her way along with a whole new outlook in life has also prevented her from letting anyone come closer to hurting her heart. 

Yet when she gets back to the office she is a greeted with a new task of being responsible for Damien’s accounting holdings. Now she is about to meet the mysterious Damien that everyone has been talking about. But the minute she sees him there is an immediate attraction between the two that she can’t deny. After a series of events that later transpired throughout the book, they have to spend a lot more time together which leads to them discovering secrets about each other that may or may not affect their future.

Sparks really do fly all over the book, the characters have an undeniable connection from the very beginning and as they get to know each other the more steamy scenes we get. Although there is some type of progression in the characters throughout the book, towards the end everything felt a bit rushed for me. I was in a very good pace with the book when it ended very abruptly, which I did not like at all. I was hoping to get more answers or find out where their relationship was going, but I will have to wait for the next book to read what happened next. All in all, I would recommend the book it was romantic and easy to get into the story. It is no surprise now that it will end with a cliffhanger so be ready for that if you’re going to read the book. :)
