When you know you know

Both Desiree and Gabriel know from their first laying eyes on each other that they were THE ONE. Desi had her reservations about being ten years younger than Gabriel. To make matters worst, his mother and sister, and exes did not make matters any better. That mother of his was a suspicious controlling witch who wanted to say who was in her son's life. Thank goodness Gabriel was man enough and would not let anyone interfere with his love for Desi. Besides, Desi had a wonderful ride-or-die friend who had her back in all things. Sydney was a girlfriend all women should have. She had me laughing. But I wanted to slap Gabriel's mother, sister, and ex.

Thank goodness for Gabriel's tenacity. He and Desi got their HARD-EARNED HEA.

Desiree Spence just lost her job and the man she loved. With everything going on Desiree has decided she needs a fresh start, new town, new job and perhaps even a new man.

Gabriel McCullough, superstar NBA player injured after two seasons retires and becomes a coach to help with influencing the next generation.

The chemistry between Desiree and Gabriel is undeniable but Desiree is fresh out of a relationship where she was betrayed and she also has a problem with him being 10 years younger than her.

I enjoyed Desiree and Gabriel story, it was love at first sight. I liked how Gabriel knew what he wanted and would not stop until he got it. My favorite character was Sydney she was that I got your back and no one better not mess with you friend. Gabriel mom and sister really got on my nerves and I felt he should have dealt with them better than he did. I felt this story was a lil rushed and left me with unanswered questions. I wanted more and needed more. Overall it was a good storyline and I will read more by this author.

Pace was too fast, cliches and references to steamy parts were cringe worthy, and the emotional relationship building was no where to be seen.
