I am usually a big R.R. Banks fan, as I am coming off from reading Surprise Delivery which is a must read, but this one, I don’t know, it seemed to be a little wordy.
Jace, who is an uptight, cold-hearted rich guy who has started his own company; then you have Kara, who is still down on her luck after her father passed away six years ago, and is doing menial jobs just to get by.
They had went to college together back in New York years ago, and briefly dated while there, with their break up happening in a bad way. Now, years later, they are both in California living their own lives when their paths cross in an unexpected way. Kara applies for a PA position at APEX, Jace’s company, without knowing he is the man behind the company. It comes down to her and another applicant, and with Jace having the final say, he picks her.
At first they have just a professional working relationship, all the while they both have “feelings” for each other. After some time and a business trip later, they have both a personal and professional relationship going on. After they land a big job, the company takes a trip to Vegas to celebrate and blow off steam before they get busy and start working late nights. After a night of drinking and talking, Jace pops the questions and they decide to get married. Things do not stay peachy as Kara has a stalker that has been following and threatening her, despite the fact there is a restraining order on him. Daniel, her stalker, has even threatened Jace to stay away or else, well that ‘or else’ happened while they were in Vegas, cutting their trip short.
After some bumps on their journey they finally get their HEA. They both grow up over the course of this book, but I just feel like there was extra in some of the chapters that could’ve been left out and still made a wonderful book. I will be reading more from R.R. Banks in the future.
