Synopsis:
After months of caring for her terminally ill
mother, Rebecca Rivera is left all alone in a world she doesn’t trust—but she’s
determined not to let her mother’s death define her. Losing her job, having to
pummel some jerk for being too handsy, and living in her car are just
temporary setbacks to an otherwise solid plan in finding her footing. Full
of pride and used to being in control of her life, she’s certain she can make
it on her own. The last thing Rebecca needs is a man to fix her
troubles—even if that man is strikingly handsome, wealthy, and charismatic
Pierce Braden.
Pierce is a powerful real estate investor on
the verge of a major acquisition. As the eldest of six siblings raised by a
single mother, he’s spent his life protecting those he loves. He’s used to
being in charge and making things right, and although he’d give his life for
his family, he treats the women he dates as expendable—until he meets sexy
and stubborn Rebecca Rivera, a woman who is as strong as she is vulnerable.
Passion ignites between them, and the two
share their most intimate thoughts and desires. It doesn’t take long for Pierce
to realize that Rebecca is as determined not to be saved as he is to
find a way into her heart. As their love grows, Rebecca must face fears she
didn’t even realize she had—and Pierce must learn the hard truth that sometimes
less really is more. Is the power of true love enough for Rebecca and
Pierce to learn to give up control and allow their hearts to take over?

Review by Marlene Engel
Pierce couldn’t take his eyes off of
the feisty woman at the bar. Not only
was she beautiful, he could sense something in her eyes. Something that made him want to know more
about her. Unlike most women who threw
themselves at Pierce, Rebecca wanted nothing to do with him. Yes, he was tall and movie star handsome, but
grieving the recent loss of her mother and trying to get her life back on track
were here priorities right now. Her
mother’s landlord had been kind enough to allow them to stay rent-free while
her mom was sick, but being the independent woman that Rebecca was, she could
not allow herself to continue taking handouts … even if that meant she had to
live in her car. She knew that, before
she could romance the thought of a man in her life, she had to find a job and a
place to live.
But fate had other plans for
Rebecca. While at the Astral resort and
casino interviewing for a job, she hears a familiar voice call her name. She’d know that voice anywhere. It’s the same one that’s been playing over in
her head since the night she first heard it at the bar. That sexy, manly voice belonged to none other
than Pierce Braden. Determined not to let
this opportunity pass, he asked Rebecca to join him for a drink. Only this time, she said yes!
Will their friendship fail before it
even gets off the ground when Pierce finds out that Rebecca’s been living out
of her car? And what will Rebecca think
when she finds out that Pierce doesn’t just work at Astral resort and casino,
he owns it?
It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of
Melissa Foster’s writing. She has the
hottest characters and best stories! But
what made this book a bit different, and made me love it that much more, is
that she touched on some serious subjects such as illness, death and
homelessness. Don’t get me wrong, you
are still going to swoon over the alpha in this story just like all of her
other books, but I enjoyed how she incorporated such sensitive topics as
well. Kudos to her for making me cry one
moment and blush another! Another book
that you must put at the top of your “to be read” pile!
