Synopsis:
He's all business and she's got a lot to prove. Love was not on the agenda.
Jill Harris is determined to prove she deserves her position at her father’s consulting firm, so the last thing she has time for is dating. Since her only experience with love ended in heartbreak, she isn’t tempted to break her own rule—until she meets Blake McDaniel. When she’s asked to take a job working with Blake, it’s a great step in her career, but the more time she spends around the attractive, determined billionaire, the harder it is to remember why she wants to stay single.
Blake has one rule for himself when it comes to relationships: He won’t date a woman who’s already married to her career. After watching his mother’s many failed marriages, he knows it just won’t work. But then Jill comes into his life, brilliant and capable…and entirely too fascinating. Even though he has no intention of falling for her, he just can’t seem to stay away. But when suspicion clouds their future, will he be able to follow his heart?
My Review: 5 Stars
Jill Harris has had to make a lot of sacrifices in her life to get to where she is within her father's company. Everyone thinks that being the daughter of the owner, her position was handed to her on a silver platter. But that's the farthest from the truth. She has had to work harder than anyone else and has been groomed to take over since she was in middle school. If she's going to prove herself to her father and the board, she has got to stay focused and not allow for any distractions.
Blake McDaniel has had to rebuild his family's business after his mother was convicted of fraud and sent to prison. He's not only worked his tail off to get things back up and running, but he's also taken over guardianship of his 17 year old sister, Hayden. After seeing all of his mother's failed marriages, he's sworn off women who are already married to their career. He's got too much on his plate already so dating is the furthest thing from his mind.
From the moment Jill and Blake meet, their connection is instantaneous. There is no denying the chemistry between them. But she's got a lot to prove and he refuses to set himself up for heartbreak. They try their best to stay away from each other but the heart wants what the heart wants. They'll just have to take it one day at a time and see where it can lead them. The more time they spend together, the harder it is to see a life without the other in it.
But when suspicious activity is brought to Blake's attention regarding Jill, he'll have to decide if he's going to believe the accusations or if he's going to believe in the woman he's been falling in love with. He'll need to trust in her and in his heart if they're going to have a chance at a HEA.
*dreamy sigh*
Oh how I loved Jill and Blake! The banter between them from their first meeting was perfect and instantly had me rooting for them. These two were perfect for each other. I enjoyed seeing their relationship develop. This was such a fun book and I devoured it in one sitting! If I had one complaint it would be that I wish we would've been able to see Jill and Hayden's relationship develop more in the book. I know there was a lot going on already but I think it would've made their relationship in the end more believable.
This has been a fun series to read! I'm definitely looking forward to reading more by Ms. Pennington. She has done an excellent job of sucking me into her books. Can't wait to see what she has in store for us next!
And can we just take a minute to admire these two right here? I pretty much saw them from the beginning and I love it when that happens! It makes the book that much more enjoyable for me! :)
