My Unexpected Serenity by Harlow James

5.0

Book 1 of the California Billionaires and I am not disappointed at all!

We have a Billionaire, Wesley Morgan, a recovering alcoholic who is focused on his company and Grandfather's legacy along with trying to right his personal wrongs and with that will be working on a project up in Santa Barbara.

Shayla Mitchell. The independent, sassy, sarcastic women who is living in Santa Barbara by the ocean, working two jobs and will soon be graduating with her Masters from college. She doesn't date and she cannot be bought.

Wesley and Shayla have a handful run-ins with each other and until she gets a cheese basket sent to her, from him, she makes the move, goes to his office and ask what he trying to get at with her because if it is just sex....she ain't having it!

Throughout the book their relationship grows. Both Wesley and Shayla have things they have to work on and they do this together within their relationship by communication and by being honest with each other.. for the most part!

I adored both Wesley and Shayla. Wesley right away and Shayla eventually grew on me. There were just times when I wanted to shake her when she would react to situations but knowing her past and what she has been through I came to an understanding with myself she wasn't just doing it to do it! Wesley was no angel either as his past as well but he was so charming and sweet that I if I had to pick one to want to shake it would be Shayla. LOL

This book was soooo good! It kept my attention and I did not want to put it down. The additional plus along with Wesley and Shayla were there friends. I love a book where the comic relief comes from the characters friends AND then those characters then get their own book ;) ... with that said... I am not reading Book 2 of the California Billionaires, My Unexpected Vow.
