Can’t stay behind the emotional wall forever
Zarah had a wall up around her heart that was impenetrable. She was a boss, very independent, smart, knew her worth and no man was worth her time. She was not opening up, allowing emotions, and letting down her walls for no man. Her family barely got behind the wall. A man can get sex on her terms and at her convenience. If they caught feelings, she was out.
Kane was a father, had a past that he’s paid his debt to society for, and started his own successful business. He may be removed from that life but he’s still bout that life so don’t push him. He was all man, played no games, and stood on business. He knew what he wanted out of like and love and didn’t have time for games.
Zarah and Kane had a connection from the moment their eyes met. That pull was strong. But they were two people who wanted different things from the other, but couldn’t let each other go.
I enjoyed the push and pull and back and forth between Kane and Zarah. I didn’t get frustrated with her not surrendering so easily. He worked for it, built up her trust, developed a relationship, let her know of his intentions, pursued her and remained consistent. She couldn’t help but respond to all of that - all of him.
He was worth the surrender.
Great read!
