I really enjoyed reading this book.
Katie gave Rafe and Marissa a beautiful love story. I have read all of Seasons 1 # 2. I believe there is a season 3 members from Money. This should allow Katie time to extend season 1 and 2. Katie you are by far my best kindle book author. Your books are serious, witty, boisterous, bossy, funny and just real good reading. I looked for more of your kindle books but cannot find any. I really enjoy how you draw previous members from money through all the series. Bee

Loved it!
Raphael "Rafe" is a seemingly hard man. Having had to sacrifice and determined to make a success of his life he becomes a billionaire. Marissa is a super confident vivaciuos and beautiful plus size talk show host. After practically been forced to do an interview on her show Rafe finds he can barely keep his anger at bay with her line of questioning. This sparks a different type of exchange between the two. If steamy moments low angst and swoon worthy moments with HEA are your thing you will enjoy this read. As always Katie Dowe delivers.

This couple is just that together, a perfect match. Love that she is strong, confident, independent, mature and knows how to handle her business. This made me laugh, as hardened as his heart is, she sparks life and love into it as he fumbles through how to handle this unexpected overload of emotion. Absolutely loved it from beginning to end and can't wait to read it again.

Great story
This was a great story about two people who found love and peace in each other
Especially Raphael who had a traumatic childhood and didn’t grow up in a loving environment
The love Raphael found with Marissa was beautiful and so deserving for both of them
A wonderful love story

Another great story!
I really enjoyed this book. These days, I mostly read BWWM romance. Katie Does is tied in the number one position of my favorite authors of BWWM romance along with Nia Arthurs. I loved the characters and the story line. It was great seeing Cain and his wife in the story.

Easy Read
Read this book if you are looking for a soft, simple and not too taxing read. So far Caleb is my favourite as there was more depth to that story. This one was very simplistic and the format where every paragraph and certain one line sentences were spaced (8 spaces between) was bothersome for me. Not overly impressed.

Fun Book!!!
This love story clearly made you experience every emotion. They both were tough as nails and had crazy boundaries. But they needed each so much. It seemed too soon to fall in love with each other. The heart wants what it wants so why deny it. In my opinion love has no time limit. I definitely recommend reading this extraordinary book!!!

Sexual Healing
The Marvin Gaye song comes to mind as I pen this review. Marissa mended Rafe’s broken heart with her welcoming him into her body and her life. It seems so fairy tale fantastical that that would happen. Maybe it’s pure fiction…and what a satisfying story.

Raphael
This was a WOW storyline. From the moment I started to read this book the characters were intense, independent, rude, strong, sad and even funny. This book will be part of my must read again and on my favourite list.

Lovely Romance
I am not the biggest fan of the BBW stories just finding it unnecessary to mention size as much as they do. This one was not that bad in the regard but the story was pretty good over all and the love scenes very much intense.

Warm Beauty for an Alpha with an icy heart.
Tough beautiful Heroine gets the love she deserves is always my favorite read. Melting the ice cold heart of a Alpha can really make a good story great. Thoroughly enjoyed this story as I have all of the Katie Dowe collection.

Surprised is the first thing that comes to mind...I loved everything about this book and couple. I have to say the dialogue is even better than Katie's previous books. I'm impressed, I just might read this again. #givesallthegoodfeels 💞
