He is intrigued by the beautiful, angry young woman.
When they meet, there is a sizzling heat between them, something he has never experienced before.
When he enlists her help as an Accountant and Financial Planner to get his business back on track, the heat level climbs.
Their coming together is sealed by the stars and their loving is explosive, like two meteors colliding.
What is the secret she guards? Can Gareth's love set her free from her demons?
What is his biggest fear? Can she help him overcome it?

[Leanne ~ Tales From The Heart · Rating 5 out of 5]

I gave this book 5 stars as it kept me glued to my kindle and the story entertained me.
Gareth and Celeste met at her grandmother's funeral and he was intrigued by her actions, as he had no idea her grandmother had been a cruel woman. There was instant chemistry between them, though due to her abusive childhood she was clueless and innocent. She's a business financial planner and his business is losing money, can she save it? Will her advice interfere in their personal life.
This is a well written romance between 2 very different people, one who is emotionally damaged and one feeling unworthy and physically scarred.
I highly recommend this short read to all lovers of romance.

This maybe only a short read, but alot is packed in yet you don't feel the book isn't rushed.

We meet Celeste Hogan who's built walls around herself after she suffered a hard and abusive childhood. She has always felt unloved and unwanted till the day of her Grandmothers funeral changes everything.

Its here at her Grandmothers funeral Celeste meets Gareth Lewis. As soon as Gareth sets eyes on Celeste he can not keep his eyes off her, She ends up going to work for him and it soon turns to passion and love. They manage to break down the walls each other have put up to keep people out but the walls soon come down when they realise love is involved.

I am giving this book 4.5 stars because the POV kept switching back and forth without any warning and it threw me for a loop. With that being said, I loved this book! Gareth was such a pure hearted, loving man. Celeste had a very hard, abusive childhood. She felt unwanted, unloveable, until Gareth came along and changed her life forever. I enjoyed this book and i cannot wait to read more from this author.

Celeste had a tragic childhood and her love life suffered due to what she experienced. Gareth owned a construction company with his brothers and did not do relationships. He was instantly attracted to Celeste. They broke through each other's barriers to find love. I can't wait to read more from this author, this was a good romantic story.

Gareth and Celeste met under unusual circumstances but their mutual attraction to each other will be put to the test when the personal demon's of their pasts rear their ugly heads.

Throw in Gareth's two younger brothers who are financially bleeding their building company dry and you have even more drama to add to Gareth and Celeste's fledgling whirlwind romance.

This is a lovely story that makes the reader feel good. However, don't be fooled into thinking that HEAT just refers to the passion in the story. There are all types of heat from anger to fear as well. The reader feels like they are there in the story- an excellent achievement for any writer!

Really good read overall. Loved the characters and their back stories. Some head hopping and editing issues. Best beginning I've ever read. Definitely recommend.
