The Estate by Ivy Wild
4.0

Alexandra Evanston has come to the Estate to start her life again after she was forced to give it all up for discovering the truth on something she wasn't supposed to. She was the fall guy and as much as it hurts she's ready for a new beginning.

Carter Ross is a successful man and has been running the company his grandfather began and rebuilding it after his father almost destroyed it. He has his walls built high around him due to his past relationships with certain people that almost destroyed him.

When Alex begins working for Carter she hopes this is the new start she has been after but soon she realizes she could be in trouble with her heart as well. Will Alex risk another heartbreak or will she get out while she can?

This was a great book that I enjoyed from start to finish and I loved some of the twists that I wasn't expecting!

I loved Alex and I hated what happened to her at the beginning of the book to her. I liked that she was given some help finding a new job but I wondered how it was going to go once they discovered who each other was. There was obvious chemistry between the two of them and I knew that could only go two ways.

Carter was a lot more complicated and we begin to discover how much baggage he really has as the book goes on and things are revealed that I really wasn't expecting. Carter definitely had walls built up around him and it was very understandable and I wondered how close he was going to let Alex get to him.

There was so much chemistry between the two of them evident from the first moment they met each other but they both had their guard down. Then after that there was so much tension between the two of them as you knew what they were both thinking of and remembering.

I was totally shocked when we meet a certain person from Carter's past as I have no idea how he could have gone along with the decisions that were made for him. She was so vindictive and I knew that there wasn't anything that she wouldn't do to get what she wanted.

I liked that it was Alex who began to look deeper into certain things although I felt awful for what she initially discovered. I was glad that Carter opened up to her about why he wasn't aware of what happened.

Holy twist at the office and I was not expecting what happened at all but I wasn't surprised with who was all involved. Yet then there was another huge shocker and I was so mad at Carter again!!!

I loved the person that really helped Alex and then later on Carter as she was such a key person to both of them when they needed advice.

I thought Alex's idea at the end was brilliant and I loved how they pulled it off!!

The very end was awesome and I do hope we get to visit these characters again!!
