Nicole and Greyson are both very focused on their individual businesses and have little time or fun. They have talked over the phone about doing business together and expect nothing more than a having a great working relationship with each other, but when they finally meet in person, sparks fly and clothes come off. These two fall fast and hard for each other. Things are great between the two of them until the past rears it's ugly head. Now they have to figure out if what they've found with each other is strong enough to withstand any challenges that come their way. Greyson is a fun, feel good romance that was quick to the point and a joy to read. The hero and heroine are both strong minded and independent which made me root for them as a couple and made for a very enjoyable short read.

Very enjoyable!
I actually read the second book first in this series. I'm very impressed. Greyson is such a sweetheart with a heart that can get him in trouble. Nicole is a successful woman who doesn't want to mix business with pleasure. Greyson has other ideas and pursue his decorator with a vengeance..

Greyson was a quick, hot and steamy read. The chemistry between Nichol and Greyson was off the charts. I loved the plot twist with Nichol, it was so refreshing to read that and experience it with her. I am looking forward to reading more about the brothers and Anton.

The story and the writing was meh to okay, and could have received two stars until I got to the 51% mark on my Kindle with the first sex scene. NOPE. The H/h went totally off the rails in relation to how their characters were set up.
Deleted this book and book 2. I'll be getting my pennies back. lol

Greyson Black is not your average billionaire. He comes from a long line of money with his family building and owning hotels all over the world, but he has stepped out on his own and started doing his own thing. His project the Greyson Manor is up and almost ready for opening, but first he has to add the interior design, so he’s hired another local in Savanna,Ga to help. He’s not a big fan of relationships since his divorce from his super model ex-wife, but his conversations with the new interior designer has him rethinking it. It’s not until he sees her in person that he knows he has to have her. It’s something about Nicole Cabot that he wants.
Nicole Cabot is part owner of Cabot and Cove. They are a local design team in Savanna, Ga ad they just landed a large account working for Greyson Black on his new project. She’s been talking and doing Skype meetings with him to prepare for the opening. But when she meets him in person it’s more than she imagined. His silver blue eyes seemed to penetrate right through her.
When these two get together it’s fire, and the more of Nicole that Greyson gets, the more he wants.
This book is very captivating and will keep you wanting more. I hope there’s a book 2, because the ending left me wanting more.

This is the first book I have had the pleasure of reading from this author. It is written in dual povs, which compliments the story and offers more prospective to the reader. The story is easy to read. The flow and tone work well with the pacing of the book. I connected with Nicole and her relationship with her family. The advice her mother gave her was very similar to advice my mother gave me. I also liked Greyson. I liked that despite all, he chose to be who he was rather than who he was told or expected to be. This book was a little predictable, but I still enjoyed the story. I did not want to stop reading this book. It was a lighter read than the last few books and a welcomed breath of fresh air.
This is an adult read due to several adult scenes and there is sparse language. I would read this book again.

Hometown
I would have given this book five stars just because of the fact that it takes place in my hometown and Ms. Verano very kindly mentions streets and businesses, how cool is that? Annnnnnd, the storyline is hot and sweet with two stellar characters and a nice supporting cast. Greyson is a billionaire hotel tycoon with a slightly dysfunctional family. Nicole is a Savannah native and interior designer. She is hired to work on Greyson’s new hotel. They have video chatted for months but have never met in person. When they do meet the sparks fly. They have several barriers to HEA....their social status and some misunderstandings about his former wife. With some good advice to our H and h from his friend and her mother they are able to move forward. Anton’s story is next....I can hardly wait!

Fantastic chemistry between Greyson & Nicole
Greyson and Nicole had chemistry from their bonding over Skype before they met in person. Once Greyson met Nicole in person, he knew the flirting was leading up to something. Nicole refused to put her business at risk, at first.
This story was all the feels, lust, anger, happy, sad, and finally love. Once Greyson convinced Nicole that his ex wife was not a threat to their relationship,the story moved back to the happy ever after. Loved this story and the glimpse into Anton, which is next on my list.

Billionaire falls in love with his designer
Grayson Black hired Nicole Cooke to be his designer in his newly renovated hotel. He was starting from scratch for the whole renovation. They had been Skype for some time with her sketches and ideas. He couldn't wait to meet her in person.
He liked her ideas and was attracted to her physically. He loved her curves.
But he felt he had to be professional and not let on how much he desired her.
Greyson wasn't sure if his family would accept her. Being her being an attractive Black woman. He didn't really care. He was falling for her. He loved her work ethic. Very down to earth.
When they finally gave into their attraction, he didn't know that at thirty-four, that she was still a virgin. She was scared to tell him. She was afraid he would reject her. But he was patient and gentle with her.
The only problem was, Heather, Greyson's ex-wife came back to town all strung out. She tried throwing herself at Greyson. She was emaciated looking. Too much drugs. She was so skinny, and her hair was listless. He didn't want anything to do with her. He eventually got her to go to a rehab facility.
The only problem was that Nicole came to the penthouse and misunderstood what was really happening.
She wouldn't talk or return his phone calls.
There is a lot to work out, but they know they can't live without each other.

Great book!
I read this book a couple of years ago but never left a review. Let me rectify that. This is one of the first books I loved by Cassie Verano. Greyson was a go getter in every way. In his personal and professional life he demanded respect, loyalty, commitment and honesty. To me his character was in my opinion a strong alpha with a heart of gold. In the process of building a new manor Greyson hired and formed a bond with Nicole. Now I'm going to spoil the book for others. The chemistry between Greyson and Nicole is way off the Richter scale and definitely 🔥🔥🔥. But as always there's always some drama that comes along and throws a boulder into a fabulous and amazingly hot relationship that derails everything. I admit I was a little ticked off at the shenanigans that took place causing rift between Greyson and Nicole. I'm just glad they finally got their HEA after soooo much drama. Such a good book.

Greyson took one look at Nicole and knew she was someone he wanted to get to know. As their connection grew so did the feelings. It started as a business connection but now Greyson wants something more. How ever his ex wife is back in the picture and could put an entirely different spin on their relationship thanks to a misunderstanding. Looks can be deceiving and from the outside looking in, Greyson will have a hard time convincing Nicole that he and his ex are not back together after she came out of his room. Do they have what it takes for a happily ever after?

Interior designer Nicole lands a huge account for the billionaire family of Savannah, the Blacks, specifically the main who hired her small firm Greyson. Her chemistry with Greyson Black is off the charts. She needs to figure out if he is worth giving her heart. Greyson, who comes off a bitter divorce, needs to try to stay professional but see if his feelings towards Nicole are real or not.

The author has given us characters that we can understand and care about. Greyson Black hires Nicole Cabot to do the interior design for his new boutique hotel. They have an instant connection, however, Nicole does not want to mix business with pleasure. Greyson thinks it is his duty to change her mind.

Greyson is super hot!!
Really enjoyed this read. Greyson and Nicole are super hot!! Loved that they got to know each and that there was an attraction before they became a couple as opposed to an insta love story. Also appreciated that even though this was a billionaire story it was understated.

Greyson and Nicole
While not explosive this book was well written. I would have preferred more story between Greyson and Nicole once they reconciled their differences. (Read the book to find out what they were😉😉😉)
All in all, this was a solid story. I'd recommend it.

Greyson and Nic fell in love, before they met in person. A very good read “watching “ them go through the ups and downs. Realized that I read Book 2 first. Oh well, on to Book 3.

Greyson
I enjoyed the relaxed tone this story takes on, even though there was dysfunction it wasn't overwhelming. Grayson was such sweetheart trying to make sure everyone was ok.

Great Romance
I enjoyed the story of Greyson and Nicole. Their romance was inevitable. The chemistry was there from day one and the sex was off the chart.

I'm a fan of the swirly kind of love
But this story felt a little trite to me. The premise was good, but the execution was...I don't know. It just didn't do it for me. Sorry!
