Hearts collide Working a job that leaves her wanting more, Korinna works at a grand city event and meets the enigmatic John MacBeth. The two connect instantly and their attraction heats faster than either can control. There is only effect when hearts collide—and Korinna must choose between protecting her heart or risking everything she is to experience soul-searing, heart-pounding, love, in this five-part, girl-meets-boy billionaire romance.

Reads like an unedited work-in-progress.
Where to start... There is a story in here somewhere, but the book is so riddled with errors that slogging through fifty-one pages was a chore. The errors start on the first page with incomplete sentences and just go on from there. The lack of spelling problems leads me to think the author used spellchecker. The abundance of other errors has me convinced the author failed to not only use beta readers, but also failed to proofread her own work.
There is far too much narrative about the company billionaire John MacBeth works for, so much so that it began to feel as though I were reading a different story altogether. There are sentences with extra words that confuse the reader as to what is being said (i.e. the author changed what she was going to write mid-sentence and failed to reread what she wrote).
So what can I say about the storyline, such as it is? Korinna is a bar waitress who picks up extra income working high-end events because she's very good at what she does. Her ex is a sleaze who likes to think she'll marry him and there's a billionaire attracted to her. There is potential here for a decent story. It just isn't there yet. Not even close.
The bottom line is this is not yet a story. This is a work-in-progress that should be pulled from all booksellers until it has been properly edited. I am grateful this story was free. Had I paid for a book in this condition, I would be much less happy about it than I am now.
Because this book was released before it was ready, I can only give one star. That being said, I cannot in good conscience recommend this book in its current condition.

September 9, 2015Well, I read about 20% of this book according to my kindle. I did not finish the short book which I hated to do. I try to finish books even if I don't care for them but this one distracted me too much by the missing words or misspelled words (typos) and the going back and forth about characters that I wasn't sure who was suppose to be cheating on who. Since I was completely lost, I just gave up. I hope the story gets polished up so I can give it a go again in the future.

Worst written book I have ever attempted to read. Bad grammar and spelling for starts. Names you can't pronounce and weird, weird, weird. Giving it one star is still too much.

Waste of time
Edit your book. So many errors and a story that goes nowhere unless you buy the other books. What a waste of time.

Truly did not like the way this story was written. It was not an easy read. Reading it was flipping and flopping. No smooth reading.
