Beauty From Pain by Georgia Cates

5.0

Five Secret Stars.
I really enjoyed this book. I put off reading it for a while because I thought I was going to get a similar plot as FSOG and I just wasn't ready to relinquish my hold on Christian Grey. While this book has a lot of similarities, it differs in the most important ways; the connection. I really loved the female lead of this book, Laurelyn Prescott. She is smart, funny, humble, and knows how to play the game. She really works hard at keeping her heart at bay, but we all know the heart has it's own mind. When she agrees to the "terms" of the relationship with Jack Henry she truly feels that she can play along in pseudo relationship. But as times passes they both get more than they bargained for.
Jack Henry is a sexy, swoon worthy male that has more money than he knows what to do with. And because of his worth he tends to get more notoriety than he'd like. So having a "termed" secretive relationship is what has worked for him. Because most women just see dollar signs when they look at him. Until Laurelyn.
Moving on to Book Two!
