Maggie is working as a waitress when she catches the attention of billionaire Chase. He sees something intriguing in her and arranges to meet her. Very quickly they fall in love/lust and in bed, but then are separated by circumstances.
I've read other books by this author and I really liked the way she wrote Maggie. Maggie is smart and hard-working though I was a bit confused by the instant attraction to Chase. I would have like the relationship to develop a little more before they have sex. It wasn't addressed, but I found it confusing that apparently neither Maggie or Chase felt they needed to use protection though I understand that the results of that led to a plot point, Maggie's pregnancy.
I didn't care for Chase much at all. He's kind of a spoiled brat, but is supposed to be running a mega company at the same time. He's CEO, but his father has all the say, even who he's supposed to marry. There were some plot holes too; it's not reasonable to expect that Chase couldn't hire some good PIs who would find Maggie before six months went by. After all, she was working, paying rent, etc so all those records are available online or in other data bases. By waiting so long, it was hard to believe that Chase was so in love with her that he'd defy his father. Even after he found her, he basically blew her off most of the time.
Still, it's an interesting interracial romance that made me curious as to Chase's father will do next.

This book was like a warm blanket and glass of wine when you don't feel like going out on a Friday night. The storyline is a familiar one to the romance genre but it has its differences, and those are mostly in the Samuda's ability to make a quiet statement regarding racism while writing a sensitive, loving story. There are deeply racist issues that are handled delicately and with forethought while upholding a woman's ability to do as she wishes with her life regardless of those who would control her. I enjoyed the story; both its subtle stance and its lighter love.

Good Story
This story starts off in such a wonderful way that you become invested from its beginning.This was a story of two people from different worlds who meet and fall in love.The writer does a really good job of getting you to like these two people,and you want to cheer that they make it.Along the way ,you meet a supporting cast that is as equally as good.This was all around a solid story,that ends as if more needs to be said.There is a next installment and you would want to read it as well because there are characters you know are not done.

I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This was the first time I have read a book from C. D. SAMUDA. I love anything romance and the story of Chase and Maggie delivered over and beyond my expectations. Love truly conquers all. There were a lot of twists and turns, enough to keep me entertained the whole time. A must read!

Clean romance
A nice clean romance with a reluctant woman and a determined man. They were from two different worlds with one thing in common.

Great read. The idea of a story on a cruise is intriguing. Ms Samuda did a nice job with Chase and Maggie!

Maggie and Chase are about as opposite as any two people can be, but you know what they say about how opposites attract. C.D. Samuda does herself proud with this work. Her characters are well developed over the course of the book, although I do wish Maggie had a bit more spunk. The author addresses the issue of racism head on, but with a gentle and forgiving spirit, and she populated their world with fun, likeable supporting characters..
This book was made available to me for free for review purposes. His Sacrifice for Love is a bittersweet romance that I enjoyed very much, despite the predictability of the storyline and some editing issues. Though it ended in a “to be continued” fashion, it is satisfying as a standalone story. (Thankfully, the author didn’t leave us on a cliffhanger!)

Like watching paint dry. The storyline and the characters were boring . Hated Maggie, she was weak and illogical . Can't even remember the male characters name. It was just dry I didn't even finished reading.
