I received an ARC from the author and I’m happy to give my honest review.
This is the first full length novel I’ve read from this author. I’ve read her novellas in another series and really liked them. I was intrigued by the premise of this book, curious since the billionaire romance has been so over done. But it’s actually really well done and different than I expected.
Adele is an independent real estate agent in New York City. She loves her city and meeting her client’s needs. A friend recommends her to Michael who is searching for a place to finally call home. He’s a demanding client and she nearly cancels their contract until he loosens his control and lets her shine.
I liked the two together. They both had some pretty traumatic lives and were filled with guilt and turmoil. They brought out the best in each other and the relationship angst wasn’t super intense, which I appreciated. This is a nice slow burn and when the sparks finally fly it was hot. This author can write some hot bedroom scenes (although it was a long time before they even made it to a bedroom).
This was a fairly fast read but I did feel the pacing was a bit off and it was longer than necessary. I will definitely read this author again, especially because I want to know more about the other cast of characters like Theo and Kai.
