3.5 stars, it was an ok read, but I really couldn't get into the characters. nothing shocked me, I like to feel every emotion when I'm ready and I felt nothing. insert sad face :0(. maybe book two will be better.
*sigh* where do I start. I finished this book in about 3 days which is actually pretty long for me. I tried to get into this book and in truth it was not as bad as some of the books I've read but it just didn't do it for me. I'm all for a hot dominant billionaire romance but this one just fell flat. I love all the billionaire boys (Christian, Gideon, Jesse, Damien, Alexandre, etc etc etc..) but Blake just didn't do it. The sex scenes were lackluster and the plot didn't grab me. All in all I felt like I was reading a bad or less entertaining version of the Stark Trilogy. I'm still gonna give it the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully book 2 will redeem the series.

A horrible book that is all over the place. Repetitive and predictable. None of the characters are likable. The romantic relationships depicted gave me the ick.
Tengo que calificar la serie en su totalidad , así que como me leí los 5 libros de corrido , mi opinión será la misma en cada uno de ellos.
Una serie preciosa , si le pongo un pero es que sean tantos libros pero ninguno se me hizo pesado. Me los leí conforme fueron saliendo en español y con este se cierra la historia . Un epílogo muy lindo y comparto el pensamiento y sentir de la protagonista con la decisión que toma respecto a su padre. Recomendada un mucho.

Nice book overall 3.5 stars for me.
The story is good, the pace is good, although personally I found the last 25% to hold too much drama from different sort making it ... well, too much !
You start the book believing the blurb that Erica is a strong headed student and new business manager, and you end up with someone making stupid/rash decisions.
So rash and so stupid that it almost justifies Blake's stalking, who ends looking like the knight in shining armor instead of the control freak he is.
Talking of control freaks, they are also too many similarities between this book and FFSoG. One recipe fits them all !!!

So I've had this on my TBR for a while now, taking it on and off because it was so expensive on book depository, I can't seem to go up to $20+ for a paperback personally. So it's been making the rounds now that the new one was out and it's like, $12-15 or something (I think, because I never really looked haha) at my local target and big w.
Of course, they only have random books like one three and four or one two and five or some crap, but they're these nice little copies, and they have the damn series number on the spine!!! Yesssss. My one thing I think all series books need is a series order number on the spine. So my life was made less difficult and I'm super happy.
This book was missing some of the drama you usually see. I mean, there was drama, sure. There's a dark past for her from her early college years, and he's practically a criminal. His brothers a drug addict, her mothers dead and she doesn't know her father. So yeah, drama. But it kind of felt washed over all the time. As if the author wanted drama, but not to be too dramatic?
Or maybe I feel that way because I don't like the female protagonist. She's naive, jealous at times when she shouldn't be and makes assumptions and stuff, and of course there's the fact she says she's in love because everyone keeps asking her if she is and tells her she is. Okay, so I can see they kinda are getting there in the love, but I felt like she said it because he's been saying it. She's running around saying she can't trust him with her business and that she knows nothing about him or his past. But she also never really tells him much about her. Big details of two things she kind of blurts out, and that's all we really get.
I feel like you kind of might have to read on to enjoy the series so I did get the next book and I'm going to continue. I didn't hate it, I don't love it, but I did really like it. I just got left frustrated with her I guess. But I wouldn't say in any way it's something you shouldn't read. Four stars, maybe a low four I can't decide!!

Love this story. You fall in love with the characters from the first chapter
Have you ever read a book and realized you would have loved it only if you read it early on in your reading career? Yea that’s exactly how I feel about this book. It was ok but I would have loved it if I read it around the time I was in my fifty shades of grey era and all those other books that had that same time of “traditional formula”.
This story starts off with Erica recently graduating from Harvard and ready to expand her business. She has an opportunity to pitch her business to investors for more funding but when she goes to her meeting she comes face to face with a man, Blake Landon former hacker and billionaire, who is determined to get under her skin and make her his forever.
The book was ok. The male main character was very jealous and possessive which I loved but also very secretive towards Erica but got mad when she withheld information or didn’t want to talk about her past. I could tell that was the only way the author could extend this story line into other books but that tactic has been played out so much that I didn’t feel like reading the other books would give me satisfaction when learning more about why Blake was so secretive.
