Elena has decided she needs to challenge herself. She’s keeping something from the reader which makes it a real page-turner. Even those around her aren’t spilling the beans but there are hints that appear every once in a while. And it’s that secret that may have you thinking about yourself and how you take care of you.

I liked that the author made Elena the centerpiece of this story. It comes out at an interesting time of year – Women’s History Month. It’s not that she’s creating history as far as the scope of the world but by running a family business makes it worth the celebration of being a woman today.

It’s a sweet romance with just a hint of spice. The author leaves it up to the reader to fill in the blanks with whatever level you like your heat at. Although I preferred it just the way it was. One thing that surprised me was to find out that there was an age gap. I certainly never saw or felt one. There was no indication until we got a lot further into the book that I felt an age was mentioned. So, I suppose it depends on what you picture in your mind.

Cardan seems to be a very nice man who knows what he wants right away. The author gives the reader enough information to know his history without letting it get in the way of the flow to her story. Having just enough made it very easy to follow without getting lost in what was going on. It will take a while, but you will see how he earns the title of “hero”.

The only two things that I had small issues with was wanting to hear more on Cardan’s thoughts as to what was going on between him and Elena. And the other was that he has family members that I didn’t get to see enough of and it left me wanting to know if there’s a series out there. I’ll have to get my investigative hat out and see if I can find anything.

I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
