Synopsis:

Refuse to compromise.

Hudson Winters is in control of every aspect of his world. From his earliest
memories, he's been driven to succeed. Starting from nothing, he built an
empire based on opportunity and intimidation.

Personally, professionally, and sexually - he ensures the reins are always
in his hands.

He never counted on a woman like Gabriella Hernandez.

From the moment she steps into his building, she proceeds to shake up his
entire existence. Her very presence causes him to question everything about
himself, his relationships, and his future.

This story features characters readers fell in love with in "The Barter
System" and gives you a chance to sit down and catch up. Prepare to be
twisted up and knocked around a bit.  Another hot, emotional read from
Always the Good Girl, Shayne McClendon.

NOTE: This story contains explicit sexual scenes and language and is
intended for mature audiences only. Do not read this novel if intense sexual
situations offend you.




Sunny's REVIEW:
 
This book is definitely ADULT. Um WOW is what I have to say about it. You have Gabby who moves across the country and is scammed out of everything she has but she works hard and takes care of herself. She lucks out that Hudson helps her (she does not know at first) and meets several very good people when she first gets to New York. She could have been a lot worse off but luckily everyone is very helpful. I like that even if people had not helped her she would have done whatever it took to help herself. Hudson comes off as a condescending jerk who thinks he is better than everyone else. You do get to see where he came from and he is really not like that. Life has harden him but he doesn't see the goodness in himself so he does not show it to others. Natalia is Hudson's best friend and oldest friend.  She knows that Hudson is a good person but she does not think that they are good for each other.

I like that this book doesn't have everyone in love and HEA in a couple of months. This book spans almost a year (or maybe longer) and it takes the whole time for everything to develop.  I am giving this book 4 stars. It is a good story and I would like to see what happens next but I am not sure if I am happy with the way this one ended up so far. I am pretty sure plenty of people would be ecstatic with what happened but I don't know....I don't know what I wanted but this wasn't it.  Maybe its good that authors don't always write stories the way I want it to be. It makes me think of situations in a different way. I recommend you go get this book and tell me what you think!!!
