Zimyra

by Tina Martin

I’m the single St. Claire sister.

I forge my own path. Make my own rules.

Men?

Don’t need them. But they chase me, and I dismiss them.
And then, Axel Jennings happens to stumble into my office, seeking employment for the property I manage. He insists that he’s the man for the job. He’s as persistent as he is handsome. He almost took my breath away.

Almost…

It’s not that I don’t see his dreamy hazel eyes. The six-feet-five, athletic body. The determined look, emphasized by a, irresistibly chiseled jawline. The thing is, I don’t have time for distractions. I’m busy building my own life. I can’t fall for the charming stranger who’s new to town. Plus, I saw what my father’s betrayal did to my mother. Men can’t be trusted, even when they know they have your heart in their hands.

['The Book Queen' · Rating 5 out of 5]

So freaking fabulous

I asked for this story, and man...the author delivered one thousand percent. I knew Zimyra would have a lot to say in her story, I did not expect her to overflow our hearts. Although I did not agree with Axel's tactic with his undercover boss idea... He was lucky enough and charming enough for Zimyra to love him anyway. This story took me through it and back again. Axel and Zimyra were both strong-willed and yet their relationship was inevitable. Two like-minded people don't always fit together. But, love can smooth out the toughest edges. Book ten was worth the wait...

I love this one. The only girl of the siblings and her book was good too. As with all the books, they fell in love quickly and something broke the bond and had to be fixed. I wish there was more of a end story for Zimyra though. What’s going on with her now after she finds love.

Zimyra

Man… I want to be a St. Clair! Zimyra is an absolute gem. From start to finish, I was pulled into the warmth and strength of Zimyra’s world. She has the best support system ever—family, friends, and love that surrounds her like a fortress. And let’s talk about Axel… the way he loves her? Unreal. Unheard of. The kind of love that makes your heart ache in the best way. Tina Martin did a beautiful job crafting a love story that’s powerful, healing, and deeply romantic. Highly recommend!

Zimyra

Great love story for beauty people. I liked the story , but I have one complaint... There was no positive mention of the other St Claire's. I think story would have been a bit more interesting if her other brothers were in included in her story. It is not their fault that her father did what he did. As a matter of fact , these children had the love of their father. Whereas the others were given away. But that is more opinion.

When love calls... Zimyra..

Zimyra... The baby of the family. She may be a little spoiled but she doesn't act that way. She has a kind heart and she really cares about people. Then here comes Axel. A heartbreaker. He has no intention of getting involved but he can't help himself once he meets Zimyra. They start out a little bumpy but they come together beautifully. Great story.

Beautiful and Boss

Zimyra 's book was worth the wait. Adel was the perfect balance to her stubborn independence. This rocks with drama,romance, unexpected turns and overall fiery chemistry between the characters. Well worth a comfy blanket and cup of tea to curl up with. Five ⭐

Axel didn't know what he was walking into when he went to Columbia, seeing Zimyra took his breath away. Zimyra had trust issues coming from her dad,but the chemistry was hott and he knew that she was the one

Excellent read

Excellent read, I loved the characters and storyline. Zimyra and Axel are a great match. They are both complicated, straightforward people. This is their journey to love and happiness. This is my favorite St. Claire book. Zimyra and Axel are truly special.

Zimyra A St. Claire Novel book 10

This was classic boy meets girl they fall in love but it's not all smooth sailing. Axel is incognito and Myia is stubborn and afraid of being hurt because of the way father treated Ms. Z but Ax was determined to have his Sunflower.

Page turner

I Love the St.Claire series. And love Zimyra love story. I love that it kept me on edge on when the secret would come out. I did enjoy it and hope there is a 2nd book so we know how things are going with these two.

What a Love Story

I’ve read the whole series. Ms Martin this story was your best it was love a first sight 400 pages was not enough. And I loved that Zander finally came around. I totally recommend this book.

[Books Read · Rating 2 out of 5]

Okay

This story wasn't captivating. I was hoping to see some interaction with the other siblings but she didn't even say she had 5 brothers, just two. They didn't even invite them to the cookout. I prefer the other siblings. The Z. St. Claires are annoying, especially Zander.

A cute romance

This story is so cute, the proud single man meets an untrusting single female and they fall in love. It just shows for the right one you will change for the better. Such a great read.

[LaToya Brooks · Rating 4 out of 5]

good read

I liked the undercover boss storyline. I wish she would’ve found out before it was almost at the end of the book
