My Unexpected Serenity by Harlow James
5.0
Holy Moly! This book was so good. I absolutely love the billionaire-type tropes and Harlow James literally blew it out of the water with this one!! I was hooked from the beginning.
Wes is not your typical rich man, with an ego that matches his bank account. He is a definitely the tortured Hero type, which I was completely here for. He made mistakes in his past that he is still trying to make up during this book. Harlow wastes no time throwing in these hints that keep you glued to the pages wanting to know what happened. Poor Wes will have you believe the absolute worst because that is how guilt works.
Shayla (I really freaking love the name!!) is one of THE BEST heroines I believe Harlow has written to date. She is not afraid to speak her mind. If she feels uncomfortable or like she is being taken advantage of, she will let you know real quick how that will end for you! She also has the best sarcastic comebacks.
She grew up with an unstable mother and a non-existent father and struggles trying to overcome her mother’s choices and how they affected her outlook on love and life. She has a hard time trusting people in general. (especially Wes but I love how he handled the situation every time).
Their chemistry was perfectly written to make you feel everything they felt. They were literally perfect for each other. He was the type of man she thought she should run from, but he proved otherwise. And she was the head-strong, loving person that he needed to truly confront his past mistakes.
& of course, without a doubt, in true HJ fashion, the steamy scenes in this book were freaking HOT.
