As I said in my last book review of an R. R. Banks book, even though that book didn’t work for me, I would read more from Banks-and this one delivered.

I received this as an ARC and without seeing a blurb. So I had no idea of what I was getting myself into but I gotta say it took my breath away in the first chapter. Naomi is a current college student and is about to have her life changed forever in the time of a short conversation.

Fast forward 8 years and she is a struggling single mother/aunt waitress, barely making ends meet, with a car that breaks down way too many times. You also have a billionaire and partial owner of Clyburne Financial who is a take no shit, play no games, tell you like it is asshole who is now in need of yet another PA, Henry.

Edgar, Henry’s best friend and co-worker, decides that Henry needs to do his own interviewing for his new PA. After the fourth candidate, Henry is no closer to having a new PA. Edgar tells him there was still one more. Half way through the interview, Edgar receives a phone call and has to step out. They continue on with the interview until it changes from an interview to them chatting.

In time between her interview and her starting of her new job, Naomi is threatened and Henry is giving the third degree over his choice in new PA’s. When she starts her new job, she picks it up fast and even starts to take some of the stress off Henry’s shoulder as she finds new ways to declutter his schedule. As they get closer, both personal and business, things start to heat up-and not necessarily in a good way, with a stalker who has decided to stalk both Naomi and Henry.

Edgar has always had it out for Naomi. While Henry is on a business trip, he backs Naomi into a corner, resulting in him firing her for insurboration. After that he contacts Henry and puts words and negative thoughts about Naomi in his head. When Henry gets home from his business trip, he tells them that they better fix what is broken between them because he was not going to be forced to choose between them. He forces them to meet up before anyone else at the office to work out their difference, but they only manage to make things worse until he shows up and lays out the truth of the matter and why they to need get over it.

After things get fixed, everything starts to get better between everyone, but not without some bumps in the road. Another great read from Banks. Can’t wait for the next one.

This is not your typical love story nor is it your typical fairy tale story. Brian, the rich millionaire, and Connie, a lonely employee, can not be farther apart than the oceans. Brian is on the cusp of a new deal, and while walking the client around and introducing him to his staff, Connie comes up and insults the client. He drops the deal and leaves Brian missing out on making the money needed to become the billionaire he has his eyes on becoming. Needless to say after causing him to lose out on the deal she gets fired.

Since she just got fired, Connie heads to a bar around the corner from the office and while sitting there drinking, who else shows up but Brian. She spots him quickly and tries to leave without him knowing she is there, but fails. Brian actually tells the bartender to get her another drink and to put it on his tab. After some drinking and flirting they end up back at his penthouse. Connie sneaks out in the middle of the night.

Time goes on and two months later Connie shows up at the office to see Brian and to inform him she is pregnant. By now he is with someone else and tells her to come to the house later so they can tell his girlfriend; Brian and girlfriend have just struck a business deal to merge their companies together and get married. He informs Connie that he has already told her and they have a plan or two. Connie now has two options: to sign the rights away and give them the baby or for Brian to sign all his rights away and pay her off. Connie takes option two but it is Brian who can’t stick to the deal.

During the pregnancy, Brian sends daily text to her, goes to the doctor appointments with her, and is there for her in general. As the pregnancy grows so do their feelings for each other until one hot and steamy night leaves them both feeling confused, Brian more so than Connie. He has his mind set on making money-logical things, not emotions. After their night together he distances himself from her until the end of the pregnancy nears, then things start changing.

I have read other stories by this author and have been able to connect the characters more than I was with these two. I just feel like it could’ve had more with them together but it was still a decent read. It is a quick and easy read.
