You get pulled in from the beginning and hooked until the end. You get to learn about each character and feel the emotions that go through this book. The way the characters come together and work as a team along with helping each other, shows a good connection from the start. The connection and chemistry between the two is hot and the sex scenes are even hotter. Two characters come together and a love forms that either one of them expected. Now both of them must consider what is best for both of them. This is not your average billionaire love story - this is way different and good.Great job to the author, I highly recommend.Reviewed on behalf of Once Upon An Alpha

Sizzle sizzle. The chemistry between Grace and Nic nearly melted my kindle. It’s an office romance of sorts, but Nic is hiding his true identity. Grace is struggling to prove she’s capable to her father, and to herself. But her job and the charity she created is on the brink of disaster. We’ve all been in that spot where everything in our future is riding on what happens next.And when what happens next is a bad boy wealthy CEO disguising himself as a run of the mill computer programmer, it doesn’t look good. The side characters are good foils for the hero and heroine, and they are believable as is the premise.The scenes between the two are heartwarming and emotional. I could barely read the scene in which they fight, too upsetting. But in all good romances, love (and lust) wins out.

This was such a fun read! Ethan was a totally swoon-worthy hero, and I absolutely adored Gracie. Their chemistry was hot, and I loved watching them battle their feelings for each other as their no-strings agreement got out of hand :)I'm not always a fan of the wealthy CEO-type hero, but Ethan won me over right from the start. He was charming and hard-working and just a bit tortured over his troubled past and the fact that he's keeping his real identity under wraps while he completes community service hours at Gracie's non-profit.Unbuttoning the CEO was fast-moving, sexy, and funny, but also heartfelt. I can't wait for the rest of the series!

Adorable!! This is an easy read that totally surprised me. It's NOT your typical CEO romance where the hero is a douchebag that turns into a romantic stud. Lol! It's a beautiful story about two people finding love and learning to grow because of it.The premise was cute, the romance steamy, and several times I was surprised at the turns the story took. It was also refreshing to see a diverse set of characters (the heroine is Hispanic), and I can't wait for the next book in the series.

This book was really fun to read. The plot was interesting and it had more substance and realism than typical romance novels. The writing was exquisite and the characters were very well developed. The dialogue between the characters was funny at times , which I considered to be a positive. Gracie was a very strong female lead character and Ethan was simply adorable! I really enjoyed this book and I am looking forward to the sequel.

A short contemporary that packs a punch. Loved the draw between Ethan and Gracie and their connection was evident from the beginning. Gracie is a strong heroine looking to save her non-profit. The ending could have been cliche, but I loved how the author went a different direction. Ethan is complex and has some stuff to hide about ​his past. Well written, steam scenes, and with a touch of humor. I highly recommend it!

Great debut novel. This story had all of things I love to read - great humor, intense emotion, real characters – especially a strong female with a backbone, and a satisfying ending. Very fast read that kept my interest from the opening scene. So excited to know this is a series.

Great book from this author. Well written, good pacing and characters that don't totally play to stereotypes. If you like an easy read, with a little drama, sexy but not too explicit and characters that you can relate too and root for, this would be a good choice.

Really liked this book, did not want to put it down until I finished it
