This is my favorite type of romance...where an arrogant, macho, but good hearted man meets the one woman who makes him sit up straight and take notice. The one woman who doesn't fall on her knees and grovel before him and certainly doesn't chase him. Chloe Griffins is drawn to Max Richfield...he can tell, yet she fights it ---- making him pull out all the stops and working for her attentions.
I loved Chloe. She's SO NOT looking for a relationship and she has no illusions of happy ever afters. She makes an effort at avoiding situations where she could get hurt. She's NEVER considered a casual fling or hook-up. Chloe is a serious, driven 28 y/o real estate broker. I loved her confident, independent personality. She doesn't take risks and I liked that she's friendly but not flirty. She always plans ahead...she goes through life with a plan in place and never does anything spontaneously. I loved her strength of survival, obligation and commitment.
Max Richfield fights NOT to be a product of his wealthy upbringing. He's a confident testosterone menace who always gets what he wants. He's the full package....tall, dark and deadly handsome. I liked Max's character. Everything about him....he's intense and commanding...but he's also genuine, respectful and kind. He's a good person with a good heart, tired of disingenuous women throwing themselves at his money.
This was a great story told in first alternating persons. The characters were detailed and described with great precision. I loved how this story made me feel...like everything is hunky-dory but you can detect the undercurrents of disaster sneaking in the back door. There's an explosion getting ready to blow. You can feel the moment getting closer and I was holding my breath waiting for the moment. It was frikkin' great! Ms. Grace made it easy to connect to our two protagonists. She has the wonderful ability/talent (or at least this humble reader thinks so..), of conveying and portraying and unfolding each dramatic scene to its zenith with technicolor and brilliant clarity building to a fabulous ear splitting crescendo. Before the reader is even aware what has happened, Ms. Author has you captured and enthralled with the storyline as it deepens and the romantic plot thickens. There are serious moments...and moments of awakening...like when Max realizes he's allowed his tragic past to dictate his future or how he lives his life every day trying to gain approval from his father. Or dealing with serious illness. And there were humorous moments...like when Max walks into Chloe's office while she's under her desk with her heinie in the air searching for a electrical socket and he get's a perfect view of her red panties when her skirt rips. There were few misspelled words or words in the wrong context like...."than" when it should've been "then" or "led" instead of "lead". Stuff like that. The romantic scenes don't overpower the plot. They're erotic and tastefully laid out. There's not too much adult language. The worst catastrophe and disappointment was not getting the fabulous Ms. Etta James name correct (..it's Etta...not Ella). The song "At Last" is correct...but the credit is given to someone named Ella... (I can only assume Ms. Grace meant the great Ella Fitzgerald). Still, a brilliantly told, feel good story with a wonderful epilogue.

Purchased Signed Copy From Author...I really enjoyed this series & happy it's all 4 volumes in 1 because each one ends leaving you wanting more. I will admit, the big bold lettered saying on the description of the back of this book threw me off & Im not really a fan of that. After I finished reading this I went to check the description of the individual volumes & I loved the last 3. They fit the story better. I love that Max is so down to earth & doesn't try to impress w/ his money. Chloe isn't the kind of character that runs away all the time if she's upset she hears Max out & I liked that. Volume 4 really shocked me & I didn't see that coming at all. It brought me to tears. The story is very well written & the dual POVs are always my fav., which the Author writes perfectly, I do wish I knew more about what happened w/ Chloe's sister & the whole situation behind that. Really good story shockingly emotional & I definitely recommend.
