Editorial Reviews

From the Author

I wrote this book as a way of self healing and to put some of my own demons to bed. Childhood trauma, abuse and issues relating to sexual abuse have always been something I had a lot to do with in my lifetime, I am a supporter and avid contributor to organisations who promote healing from all of the above. I based my character of Emma on a survivor, a strong female lead, and the Carrero series really showcases strong women who have overcome a messy childhood by using various coping mechanisms while still on that journey to healing. --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

Leanne Marshall is a Scottish-born and bred romance writer with more than the average person's life experience. She has been a torrent of wild things, including singer in a girl band, animal rights activist, and charity owner - worked in radio and offered jobs in TV.

A passionate, restless soul, who has always found peace in writing, the only way to calm that fiery spirit.

She uses her wit and dark humour to her advantage in her works and has been an avid reader for most of her life. Her influences vary, but from early life and a teen stint in journalism, she applies logic to most of her plot lines, is a self-confessed research fiend, and likes a lot of psychology behind her character's actions.

She currently resides in Central Scotland with her two children and Fiancée of 13 years, making waves in the book world with her signature 'WTF moments' she likes to apply in each story, hints of humour, and devastating emotional rollercoaster rides.

Quote from L.T.Marshall - 'Writing has always been an escape for me, loving that no matter what you are doing, where you are - you can create ideal fantasy and get lost in someone else's life. I love nothing more than drawing a reader with me on a journey that tortures your every emotion before the grand exhale.'

Not what I thught

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 20, 2019

Verified Purchase

I don't read much romance, but as I know the author I thought I should buy it to read. I am not yet half way, so this review is only based on what I have read so far.
I disliked Emma intently when I first met her. Scatty, nervous, straight as a die, I wondered if she would bend at all. Then I met Jake. Sorry, he is not my idea of hot. But then again, I don't go in for raging heat from looks alone. If I were to like him through Emma's eyes, it would not happen.
The book is poorly edited which mars the reading of a potentially good novel. I have to stop and re-read to see if I got it wrong. I will continue to read it however, as I'm getting enthused by the reviews of the ensuing books in the series and find it hard to believe it is already up to book 8. I like to read a whole series of books once I begin, as it is a following of a life after all.
I'll be back to edit my review once I have completed reading it, perhaps even to increase the stars. There are a few "f*ck" scattered throughout, so if you don't like this kind of language, perhaps you may want to think again. While I realise it is a common word, there are some of us who enjoy a good read without that one in particular insulting out mind.
Reading on to see if Jake and Emma do get together for a lifetime of real romance...

Can't wait for Books 2 & 3

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 11, 2017

Verified Purchase

I really can’t wait to see what comes next for Emma and Jake.
I stopped reading romance novels a long time ago because I tend plunge myself into the characters. I feel what they feel but this book goes further than that. I actually cried a couple times while reading. After finishing last night, I woke up feeling depressed because the book was over and the ending was unexpected. Thankfully, there are two more. (Again, I can’t wait to see what is next.)
Excellent character development- If you sympathize with characters in the books you read, you are in for a treat. Both characters felt like they could be friends that you want to hug and smack at the same time.
I finished this book in less than 8 hours. To say it is a page-turner would not be a lie.

Just read this amazing book!!!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 12, 2018

Verified Purchase

This book made me feel all the feels, like I felt like some of these things were actually happening to me, reason being, you just get so invested in Jake and Emma, it's like they're family. I had to hold off on this review, because I wanted to think about this book, it was a roller coaster ride of emotions. With all that said, this book is freaking amazing, and you need to read it! The whole time I was reading this I could see it as a movie! Which I would love to see!! I will not give any spoilers, if you want to know more read the blurb. Believe me, there's much more to this story <3

READ IT!!!!

Sweet love story

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 23, 2019

Verified Purchase

Jake and Emma's love story is beautifully written. Emma is Jake's assistant and she doesn't want to fall for him but she just can't help it. Jake is a playboy but hard working and a nice guy you just can't help liking him. Emma has some baggage from her childhood so she is afraid of commitment. The book is very well written and a page turner. Warning there is a cliff hanger but the good news is the next 2 books are already out. One of my favorite reads ever. Definitely check out this author!

A wonderful love story

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 21, 2017

Verified Purchase

I have enjoyed this book so much but I will tell you that you will be on a rollercoaster ride all the way though. There are times I want to slap Emma across the face and say wake up and there ard time I am mad at Jake for being to sweet to her. The play between this two is great you can see yourself in their lifes.
L T Marshall did a wonderful job on developing the characters as you read this book. I would recommend this book to everyone who love a great romance.

Do not recommend.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 2, 2018

Verified Purchase

If you’re looking for a book with good potential, and don’t mind that it is basically unedited, this is the book for you. I read it through, when normally the number of errors would make it a DNF.

The premise is good, and I see the potential, which is why I’m not scoring it lower. This book also does not have a denouement. So if that’s something you need, I suppose you have to buy the other two books in the series.

I was pretty disappointed that I spent my time reading this, expecting an actual ending, whether happy or not. I would not recommend this book to anyone I know.

Jake and Emma, be ready to get invested in ...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 12, 2018

Jake and Emma, be ready to get invested in their lives, live through their laughter and cry through their pain. Page after page you get so much more than you expect, touching emotions you don’t realize are happening because you’re so wrapped up in their story. I can’t wait to start the second book so I can see where L.T. Marshall takes us. Bravo L.T.!

Book was well written and was a page turner. Started it the afternoon with the intention of relaxing for a few quick chapters ... and instead finished and closed it at 2 in the morning emotionally exhausted.

Emotional rollercoaster

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 14, 2018

Verified Purchase

I have to say I didn't like Emma in the beginning but having read her story it made sense she needed to be that way. She is so very conflicted but needs to feel in control. Jake try's his hardest to break her down see the real her he really wants her wants her to be fully open to him. It was nice to see that two very different people from two totally different worlds could fit so well. I wasn't expecting the end and it actually made me cry I so wanted it to be. The delicate handling of abuse is written tactfully and is well structured. It had my heart pounding at times and I truly felt for Emma on every level especially at the end. A very skilfully written book I am hooked and can't wait to read them all.

Make way for the new Jackie Collins

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 30, 2018

Verified Purchase

This isn't my usual type of read, as I'm not a fan the romance genre, but I've heard so much about this book, that I had to discover more.

Underwear model and all round Mr Perfect playboy millionaire, Jake Carrero, isn't my usual type of hero either. I tend to like my objects of desire a bit rougher round the edges, and I was praying he'd have a few scars somewhere - just so he seemed, well, less of a fantasy figure and more approachable in my imagination - if that makes sense. However, as I read on, L.T. Marshall won me over with this story of the frosty Emma with a troubled past, that only Jake can uncover - which she unravelled with depth, warmth and empathy.

And I honestly think Ms Marshall could be the hot new name in romance - perhaps even the new Jackie Collins!

Nothing happens! DNF.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 15, 2020

Verified Purchase

I have had this a while and finally got around to reading it, my goodness it is a slow burn, I mean nothing much happens especially between the two main characters, I have gotten to 60% and I am throwing in the towel, I am so sick of them nearly doing something only for it to fall flat, Also they have such a strange relationship for boss and employee and it starts to become unbelieveable, also the book doesnt flow very well. I really did want to like this but to have a book as long as this and have nothing much happen just isnt worth my time, there are others after this and I just cannot bring myself to read them when I cant even bring myself to finish this one.

Ouch
This amazing sexy funny tense romance is everything.
It made me laugh cry swoon giggle and break my heart.
Cold, in control Emma is about to start a new job as PA to the sexy smooth easy happy go lucky Jake Carrero
But when his easy charm affects her can she keep the cool mask In place ....does she even want to

I think I relate a little to hard to Emma and I feel her pain and know I’ve been told similar things as her but o still want to throttle her and bang their heads together and cry and be held
I need to next book but I’m scared lol

Very likeable characters and story that isn't only about love or lust

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 19, 2017

Verified Purchase

It's been a while since I've had a sleepless night because of the book. What have you done to me? So well written and all emotions out there in front of you, definitely hit the spot and I just couldn't put it down. Very likeable characters and story that isn't only about love or lust, but about so much more. About how much past affects us, how much we can fight it but if we don't deal with it in the right way, it will find its way back. And the ending. It just left me staring into my kindle at the last words trying to decide what to do with my life now. Well with one click I bought the second book as I couldn't face just leaving them just yet.
