Tracked Interest
I'd left the temptation of Manhattan behind a long time ago…
But thanks to my best friend Dawson Parker, I had no choice but to return back to my roots.
I was a strong, powerful, businessman with a wealth of connections… hosting a hollow heart inside.
She was never meant to return…
She was never meant to break my defences again…
The problem was Anise Collier never left me… not really. Not in my soul.
I nearly destroyed my life and hers once before… nearly taking everyone that mattered to me down in the process.
This time would I repeat my mistakes or do everything in my power to protect her?

Just didn't flow
I couldn't feel the connection between the characters. They flow of the story was off. At one point he is referring to the UK and about he isn't with his "Honey" which was lame to begin with. "My honey" insert eye roll. Especially since they weren't together. As far as the UK I took it as he left her there and went to NY. So if that was the case and she was broke how did she get to America?

2/5 - worst nickname ever (Cherub, like wtf is that got to do with the story she's technically the opposite) also the plot?? Was there even one or just rob the billionaire ex and hope everything works out the opposite that it would in reality??
Good lines:
- The thing is I didn’t blame him for it; I admired him.
- “I’d never promised I was a good girl. If anything, you preferred it when I was bad. It was much more to your taste,” I uttered pushing against the door as I undid the knot of the apron with one hand and pushed it into his chest.
- I’ll always protect all of my family and only one other person . . . you.
Smut:
- “Honey,” I growled into her ear, “you can’t admit something like that then run away from me, my cherub.”“Why not?” she stuttered huskily. “What else should I have done?” I smashed my lips, against hers with a bruising force, my tongue demanded entrance and dueled dominance with hers as she met my every move and tried to out win me. I was desperate for more as her mewl escaped timidly from her throat as I pulled myself back and stared at her swollen pink budded lips. Breathless. She made me totally breathless.

Anise and Del were in love and had the world at their feet until she left. Now a few years later she is back and needs his help. He loves her but she broke him, will he help her anyway?
This is a super short story and major storyline gaps that I wish were filled in .

Anise and Del's story is a second chance story. It was a fast read headed chemistry, drama and emotions that pulls you in page after page.

I can't lie - this wasn't my best read of 2023.
It felt a bit rushed and disconnected, and I didn't feel like there was a connection or much of a story between the MC and FMC.
