REVIEW
Rating: ☆☆☆☆
So this book interested me from just reading the blurb. It sounded different in a market filled with similar storylines. I did start reading it and nearly put it down again but very glad I stuck with it. Let me explain. After the heartbreak of his childhood, we are introduced to Reed leaving a meeting. For me the inner monologue here had me not liking him very much. It felt as though he was full of his own importance. This arrogance carried on through his first meeting with Reagan when he is a complete idiot. Thankfully after this rocky start, he is able to redeem himself enough for me to start liking him.
There is an instant connection between Reed and Reagan but Reed doesn't do relationships. Reagan is just what he needs though. She is hard-working, passionate and submissive. There are many barriers to their relationship with Reed being her employer, Reed's aversion to a relationship, and the communication difficulties between them as a result of Reagan being deaf.
This was certainly hot and spicy but there were plenty of sweet moments throughout.
