My Review

The start out of this book will leave you with your mouth open. Cassey did not have a good start in life. All that changed when a wonderful lady took her away and placed her in a loving home. As she grew up she knew she wanted to make this family proud of her and help others just like her. She now starts over getting the old family business up and running along with helping to support a program to help child like her and her brothers. One man comes along and wants to take all that way from her or does he? Luke comes in cocky and in control just like his old man. Cassey turns the tables on him and she might find is he isn’t so bad after all.

The author gives you two people trying to live up to their parents. Cassey for what they did for her and Luke for what he thinks he owes them. I really liked both these characters they are both strong but weak, both caring and loving and both want a better world. The question is how far both will go to get what they want. Cassey is a strong lady she doesn’t give up easy and gives Luke a run for his money. I love their sense of humor and found this a very humorous read at times.

Roy Samuelson does a really good job of narration at first I just wasn’t sure about a male voice. His characters voices are wonderful and full of emotion. You have no trouble telling who is talking and what they are feeling. I heard no background noise although I did hear a few changes in tone when I believe he took a break. His female voices were a delight he pulled them off wonderfully. I have listened to other audios by this narrator and have always been impressed by his work. I really look forward to listening to more by Mr. Samuelson.

I thought the author gave a wonderful read that really touches your heart. I feel many will be able to relate to these characters and may have been in the same place as Cassey. It is a powerful read with powerful chemistry both from the main characters and Luke’s family. I really didn’t care for his father and I was on the limb on his mother. Really she turned out to be a sweet lady which really shocked me.

I thought this was well written with a lot of thought put into the story. The author puts a lot into a short listen never leaving the read behind or guessing to what happen in the past. Luke’s might start out pushy rich boy but it doesn’t take long to see just where his heart is and just what he thinks of his world. It might shock you to the reason he goes along with his family. There isn’t anything his family won’t do to keep him in line. He really has some tough decisions to make. There are some pretty hot scenes along with some very touching ones. I think most will find this an entertaining read.

Book Description

When Cassey’s business is in jeopardy, she gets an interesting offer from a local hotel owner. He has been trying to run her business into the ground so his family can snatch up the land for cheap. But, how can she turn him away when just the sight of the man makes her heart jump out of her chest?
Luke was sent by his father, owner of the swankiest and longest-operating resort along the Florida's Gulf coast, to gain one of the best properties at any cost. But when he sees the owner of the bar and grill, he’s torn between his duty to his family and his desire for the silver-eyed beauty.
