A widow determined to remain alone, an actor with a playboy reputation, and a charity on the brink of going bankrupt.Widow Maggie Lawrence has no room in her life for relationships. What with her charity consultant work and her undercover writing career, there’s just no time—or so she tells herself. When she meets Levi Martin, her resolve is tested, but she’s determined to help his charity and keep him at arm’s length.
Actor Levi Martin is desperate to save Geeks for Fibrosis—a charity he started in his sister’s memory and he's willing to do anything. Even if it means working with a notoriously hardnosed charity consultant, Maggie Lawrence.
When they team up, they soon realize maybe they can save more than just his charity.
This book is is excellent. What did I like about it? Let me answer this with a question which I know shouldn't do. What didn't I like. My rating is 5+ stars. If I could I would give this author and book more than 5 stars I would. Not only is it clean but anybody can read it. Yes that means your kids and grandkids can read it and you have nothing to be ashamed of but if you feel better reading it first do what you think is best. The fact the book is about a cocky billionaire who is gorgeous and used to getting what he wants then he meets this girl who is good at what she does which is helping charities get back on their feet and finding what went wrong and what can be done to fix the problem. When she finds out he's doing this to honor his sister she thinks long and hard before saying NO. Does she say No or does she agree to help him? Please buy the book to find out. Trust me it'll be worth it. My recommend this book. Bree Livingston is a great author and I look forward to more of her books.
This was a very good story in many respects & I enjoyed it. Unfortunately, it couldn't sustain my interest for long. I kept reading it & then hopping over to read something else. Finally after the 3rd time, I made myself stick with it and finish it.
It's hard for me to pin down exactly why, but I think a lot of it's because it seems dragged out. It is fair to say that it was more repetitive than it needed to be. It made it seem more realistic, but it didn't exactly move the plot along briskly, unfortunately.
So overall, I did like it, but the ability to skim read is a definite prerequisite.
This book provides all the feels that a romance should produce while still being a clean read.
I love how Levi treated Maggie, the way he falls in love, and how his personality jumps out of the pages. It's wonderful to see how their relationship works despite their haunting past lives.
Maggie and Levi have experienced deep loss . Their lives are in a lonely stasis until they meet each other. Working together on his charity brings healing and hope. And love of the R-O-U-S variety.... :)
