Love and Charity
Can a charity's last hope rekindle a widow's heart?
Maggie Lawrence, a widow clinging to solitude, drowns her grief in work – charity consulting by day, famous novelist by night. Love? Not on her schedule. But fate throws her a curveball in the form of Levi Martin, a Hollywood heartthrob with a playboy reputation and a desperate plea.
Levi’s charity, Geeks for Fibrosis, founded in memory of his sister, is on the brink of bankruptcy, and he’s willing to do anything, even work with the notoriously tough Maggie.
As they fight to save the charity, sparks fly. Can Maggie keep her heart locked down, or will Levi show her that love can bloom in the most unexpected places?

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.

3.5 stars
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.

Loved this book!
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.

I did not like the characters
I did not like the characters and the story was repetitive and contrived - unlike other books I've read by the author.
