Gratification

by Clara Grace Walker

Sex, drugs and money. Preston Tyler's fight to save his company from a hostile takeover is not your average business deal. Worse than the lying, scheming and back-stabbing he must deal with, however, is having to go to his company's largest shareholder for help; the woman who jilted him at the altar, Maggie McKenzie. If Preston plays his cards right, maybe he can not only save his company, but win back Maggie's heart as well.

Preston still loves Maggie and Maggie thinks she doesn't love Preston, but is still attracted to him. She thinks he'll be like her father, and put business first, which is why she left him. She is the largest stockholder in his company, which scumbag Andy Clarke is trying to take over. Worse yet, Preston's primary lawyer, Rod, well-named as a womanizer and jerk, is spoiling multiple aspects of Preston;s and Maggie's lives as well as a number of other character's. The book was full of creeps and icky people, but there were some good people, too. It was fairly suspenseful near the end. I somewhat enjoyed the book--it was fairly well written, but not my favorite genre. I was annoyed by a few flagrant mistakes.

Love's redemption

This book had me from the outset and I liked the fact that you got a perspective from all the major characters. I felt sorry for Tarrylyn but she caused her own suffering and her father got what he deserved at the end. I also thought it fitting that Rod and Aunt Patrice ended up screwing each other over. It was a fitting end to their manipulative machinations. I'm just glad that Preston and Maggie finally realized they belonged to each other. To bad it wasn't until her life was in danger that things were made right.

This was a quick read - it was a good read, it just needed a bit more substance and a little less fluff/filler. The characters were fun and relatable and the plot was good, however, the author used a bit of filler to make the chapters longer. There was also a lot going on at times that left the reader wondering how it was all going to fit together in the end.

Preston and Maggie make the perfect couple, but they need to figure that out on their own....again...Enter Rod and the trouble begins. Then the author gives us a barrage of characters that you aren't quite sure what their role is and the reader starts to lose interest a bit.

I loved the setting of the book (FL) and the author seemed to know what she was talking about regarding the highways, the Keys, Miami and other areas. It felt like the reader was right there with the characters.

Overall this was a good read and I will be reading the others in the series to see how the author continues things. The biggest thing (that is my own pet peeve) is that the author ended the book with "The End".....I don't know why, but this has always bothered me and it did here too...

I´ll be possitive and focus in the fact that I did enjoy this book. Mostly.

Nonetheless, I must express that I was utterly frustrated with Maggie. So if you venture and read it, you´ll know why.

Exciting romance, affairs, deception, murder. Great parts.

I found the book a little confusing at first with all the introduction of characters. The story did not get started until 30 percent into the book. It was a slow start
