I received this book for free from the publisher (Harlequin Books) in exchange for an honest review.

After reading the first book in the series, I was very excited to read this one since I loved Adelaide in the first book.

This installment was definitely a step up from the first book. The first book had a lot of awkward time jumps, while this book luckily avoided that.

As a whole, I really liked Michael and Adelaide as a couple. They had sizzling chemistry and I liked the fire Adelaide had. She was so driven in what she wanted in terms of both career and personal life.

I also loved that Adelaide’s fashion show centered on creating fashionable and sensory friendly clothes for people on the autism spectrum. I was happy to see attention brought to autism awareness. I was not expecting that from a short Harlequin romance novel.

Since this is part of series, the two main characters from the previous book have cameos in this book. It was nice to see what they were up to and how their relationship had strengthened.

My one critique of the book is that the ending could have been fleshed out a bit more. It ended rather abruptly and I wanted a little more closure.

Overall, this was an enjoyable installment to the series! ( )

This is the third book I have read by this author. This trilogy of books are some hot ones for sure. Take example this scene from the book:

Adelaide: "I get to have you whenever I want, wherever I want, and I want to have you right here tonight. Got it?"

Michael: "So you want to get me wet and naked?"

Adelaide nods.

Michael: "Do you want to watch me undress"

Adelaide: "Yes"

Michael: "How badly?"

Adelaide: "Badly, please"

Now, if that did not get you hot and bothered; I am not sure what would. Thus the reason this book is from the Harlequin Desire line.

Adelaide may come from money but she is out to prove her own worth. She is intelligent as well as not afraid to show she is a strong woman. Although, it does not hurt to have a strong, sexy man by your side either. Michael is just that man. The chemistry they shared is hot. You could feel the sparks flying between them.

This book was a quick read with enjoyable characters. I have become a fan of Jayci Lee. Plus, I must admit that it does not hurt that at least one of her main characters in her books are Asian. As an Asian; this makes me happy to see more books featuring this ethnicity. ( )
