Review- 5 Stars!
I am a big fan of Louise Bay,
otherwise I would never read the first book in a trilogy without the rest of
them having been released. So, here I am, desperate for the next book in the
series!!!
Haven was an
interesting choice for the author. I actually really disliked her in the beginning
and that didn’t bode well for the rest of the book. She dresses like a nun,
everyone in the office hates her, and she makes unfounded assumptions about
Jake, using her vicious tongue to lash out.
However, the ice around her begins to thaw fast enough that I
began to change my mind before I gave up on the book. She’s got quite the chip
on her shoulder and it really pissed me off. But then, I think that was the author’s
intention anyway. Eventually, we see beyond the chip to a sweet and really,
quite funny, personality. Her sarcasm is right up my alley and she had me
chuckling out loud from time to time.
Jake is all
that is fabulous in a male lead. Gorgeous, rich, hardworking, and humble. It
may seem a little cliché, but who the hell cares. Jake is just yummy. He comes
from a humble background and has made his money all on his own. He remains
humble and that is one of the points of contention between Jake and Haven. She
assumes that he is a spoiled trust fund kid, and her digs at him funnel deep to
where he hides an insecurity, feeling unworthy of his wealth.
Jake sees
beyond the dowdy clothes and icy exterior almost immediately. Haven becomes a
challenge, not the “I want you because I can’t have you” kind of challenge. But
rather a need to show her that they could be something special. His determination,
sweetness, and hot as hell looks, rolled in with all his other assets (and I
don’t mean money), convince Haven to give them a shot.
Their chemistry
sparks off the pages, their dry with makes them so fun to read, and the surrounding
story (I admit, that part it just the tiniest bit weak) has me curious to see
where it will go. But, as it goes with a trilogy, I’m left hanging and wanting
to stalk Louise Bay and steal the other two books!
This is a
really quick read, but totally worth it. I loved reading it and very much look
forward to finishing the series! 5 Stars!

Today Bestselling Author Louise Bay writes sexy, contemporary romance novels – the kind she
likes to read. Her books Faithful and
Hopeful are stand-alone novels
although there are some overlapping characters. Bestselling The Empire State Series of novellas starts with A Week in New York.
My next series is What the Lightning Sees.
Ruined by romantic
mini-series of the eighties, Louise loves all things romantic. There's not
enough of it in real life so she disappears into the fictional worlds in books
and films.
Louise loves the rain, The West Wing, London, days when she
doesn’t have to wear make-up, being on her own, being with friends, elephants
and champagne.
She loves to hear from
readers so get in touch!
