Absolutely So Enjoyable

WOW what a awesome story to read! A powerful combination of excitement and heartfelt love. This is such a beautiful couple, it stole my heart with their romance. What I enjoyed most was the humor. The couple's chemistry sizzles it so amazing, along with the drama, it stole my heart with their romance it's great how they started It One that you will definitely enjoy. There is so much excitement with these awesome characters, they have such great chemistry. It's sad and definitely thrilling plus the passion will make you need a fan alongside your favorite drink. I thought both of the characters were captivating. The love and friendship is so worthy. Once the drama is added in with tons of emotions and some intriguing twists and you have a tale that so entertaining that its truly delightful and heartwarming, that makes they are huggable characters. Another thing I enjoyed is that there's great secondary characters. Because of how all the characters worked so well together. I really enjoyed how the couple's friendships are built-in. The story gives me the feelings of love. Last but not least this is a great series that I absolutely love which I feel we need more stories like this one so everyone may enjoy them! My only wish is that there would be more to this couple story it just feels as there is more to their story!! Because I just wanted more and to keep reading this story. I enjoyed the time spent on building up to their relationship because it's great. Overall this is a awesome romance which l greatly enjoyed and I'm excited about the next story in this series.

Both gave each other the love they never knew!

Earl and Cathy were gun shy as far as love was concerned! She never had the love of her mother who gave her up out of convenience and he never experienced the love of his parents who were too cold and distant! Both had some imbeded traumas to overcome and overcome them they did! He the multi-billionaire and she the well heeled designer became family that encompassed all of the close people in them inner circle! Cathy, has officially joined the magnificent wives of those extremely handsome and uber wealthy Members from Money all loving each other with a fierceness totally u imagined by most!!! I enjoyed their story very much and hope their now mutual friend finds someone to love him and absorb all of that love he has stored up just waiting to be shared!!!!

Real Story

I really liked the story. Loved the different way they met. Their banter was cute too. I felt she was strong and independent. I too, am not impressed by wealth and I felt she was the same way. I also liked how the author made her stand up for herself. So many writers make the women so weak for the main guy and they're supposed to be strong as the leading female character.

A love worth waiting for

The backstory of Earl and Kathy were wonderful. The nuances of their story playing beautifully. Showing that growing up poor or rich doesn’t matter . what matters is the love shown and given while growing up that makes a difference. It was up to them to break the pattern of abuse and true to themselves that their lives could be different by finding love.
This was an amazing story, I loved it from beginning to end

Great!

I really enjoyed this book. At first I thought the first couple of chapters were familiar. Like I've read this book before but as I read on, I realized it was different. Honestly, Earl and Cathy were looking for love in all the wrong places. Until they found each other. I'm happy they found their HEA.

Heady

Such passion amongst all in this story. Cathy and Earl were fantastic, overcoming countless hurdles to be together. Justin's role was well written into the story, at times playing the part of the spoiled younger brother. Best part to me was when Cathy and Earl came together, explosive is the description!!!

Earl

I loved reading this novel about past emotional experiences and abuse. This book touches on real life situations and I also love the ending. Earl and Cathy both deserves to be love and Cherished for the people they are inside and out. Not from their bank accounts or the relationships with famous people!!! I will be recommending this novel to everyone I know!!!!!

Healed Hearts Run Free

Katie Dowe books are so exquisite. We always get the angst, the swoon, the backstory, the aching chemistry, the jilted ex lovers, the vivid sidekicks. This one is extra special-the poignant heart healing does it for me.❤️‍🩹

Loved it

This kind of reminds me of Season 1. The characters are strong, funny, and full of love. I'm not saying Season 2 doesn't have that. Those of us who go way back with you will understand. This is a 5 🌟 book!
