I enjoyed this one quite a bit. I really enjoyed Hope finding herself and starting her new journey. I thought this was inspiring and was rooting for Hope finding her happy.

Now she is supposed to run it and prove herself in a way that she is not all that comfortable with. Give her algorithms and she can hold court, give her people and it is not quite as easy. Bella finds herself with an ally she did not expect, Quarterback Christian Knox who agrees to help her. Problem is he also wants to date her.
From the first page you are pulled in and turning the pages as fast as you can read. I fully relished every moment of this story. Christian makes his interest known from the get go, he is intrigued by Bella who is unlike any woman he has met. A bit of a Cinderella type story which I was absolutely entertained with....more

Hannah has not met him yet directly but has talked to him on the phone, when she finally does she can't help but notice how attractive he is.
Gavriil doesn't need the distraction, but seeing Hannah in person has him wanting her. Her feisty personality is driving him nuts and it is only a matter of time before he claims her. What starts off as pure sex quickly becomes something more, he can't stay away and when she is put in danger Gavriil vows to protect her with everything he is.
The blurb was a bit misleading. Good story but at times the chemistry was not there. Gavriil is so cold sometimes you are not if he wants more or not. I am curious about Bastian, he was fascinating....more
