The story pulled
me in right from the beginning. There’s just something so powerfully erotic
about a mysterious man, and Shane Green was just that man. Shane is confident
and strong. Not just in body, but in attitude and spirit too! He’s rather the
controlling type, making rules as he goes along, but there’s a disturbing
reason that has to do with his family that pretty much dictates as to how and
why he lives his life so privately. Oh, and here comes little nerdy and plain
Amy Woodall. To herself she’s just your normal hard-working young woman. But,
to Shane, she’s much more than that. When they finally come face-to-face under
unusual circumstances, they’re both shocked by the familiarity with each other.
They’ve been secretly in contact through an on-line dating service while
neither realizes who the other is. What will happen as Shane’s need for privacy
and rules regarding their relationship comes into play? Will Amy go along with
Shane’s need for secrecy?
This novel
sucked me in from the very first page. It was a short quick read that packed a
punch with family, friends, and lovers. I wasn’t always the happiest with Shane
and Amy. I thought that Shane was just a little too controlling with Amy. His
feelings seemed to come first and foremost. But, when I found out Shane’s
reasoning for all the privacy and his need to safeguard the ones he loved, I
felt that he was more than justified when it came to his actions. I couldn’t
help but feel what a protective and loyal man he actually was. And, Amy at
times came off a little desperate when it involved Shane’s will to dominate
her. It just seemed like whatever Shane wanted her to do, she did. She was
somewhat of a doormat. Sometimes I didn’t think that Shane realized just how
much he was hurting her. But, in
reality, Amy seemed like she would do just about anything for the people she
loved.
This was an
enjoyable first novel from new author B.B. Hamel. She writes her characters with
devotion and integrity. Their love story was erotically passionate with a
strong emotional connection. I did like the take on how the handsome billionaire
was attracted to the nerdy tech employee. The idea totally swept me away. As the
story is written in Amy’s POV, I couldn’t help but feel her pain when a death
claims one of her family members. It was
very sad and touching when she realizes that they are no longer suffering. The
author brought me into the story with interest and emotion from the very first
page until the warmhearted ending brought closure to their story. So looking
forward to reading the next book in the series!
**Thanks to the author for providing me a
