Review:
I don't think this was the best romance novel ever, but it had it's good moments. The hero in this story, Blake, was so swoon worthy and I adored his character. I wasn't a huge fan of how controlling he was and how he felt the need to control every aspect of Erica's life. But, his hotness and cuteness kind of made up for that and it wasn't hugely present to annoy me or anger me. The heroine was ok, she wasn't the best. Her mood swings gave me whiplash, one minute she was all over Blake and thinking about telling him she loves him, then she says she hates him and then she goes back to loving him. Girl, make you mind up! Other than that, I did enjoy her character and how confident and ballsy she was. She goes for what she wants, in business and pleasure, and doesn't stop at anything to get it. She has an extremely traumatic past which forces her to push people away, especially Blake, but it wasn't for very long as they would always reunite. The other thing I found was that she seemed a bit self absorbed and had the mentality of the world revolving around her. If someone had good news or an issue, she thought about how that impacted her first before being happy for them e.g. her best friend moving to New York. I enjoyed how there wasn't one major issue, there were multiple which made it seem more realistic. The relationship was nice and the smut scenes in this novel were great. But, like a lot of other books, i found that they used sex instead of talking through their issues and it was really annoying. I felt that the sex was just filling in pages and gaps as it felt like every couple of pages they were having sex. I liked the billionaire trope as it's become one of my favourite romance tropes. The two main characters were good together and I felt overall it was a decent book that just lacked in some areas. Although, it is the first in a series, so maybe some things will be answered, fixed or redeemed in the later books. If you like billionaire romances, you may enjoy this one.
