For years, Amii Sloan has held a burning grudge against Ryan Maine for his cutting cross examination during her sister’s murder trial. Now, a chance encounter brings Ryan back into her life, along with a very interesting proposition—to work as his personal assistant in the idyllic town of Unity.
Down on her luck, and supporting a mother with early onset dementia, Amii doesn’t have much of a choice but to accept the job Ryan offers. But can she overlook the past, to possibly open the door to a brighter future?
As she spends time with the handsome, successful lawyer, she realizes that maybe first impressions can be wrong, and that just maybe she and Ryan could share a whole lot more than she ever imagined.
MY REVIEW:
When tragedy mars your youth and teen
years it tends to shape what comes next in your life. For Amii Sloane it was when her 15 year old
sister was kidnapped and killed and she was a witness to it. In fact she was a survivor but that was really
overlooked due to the end results of her beloved sister’s death. If only her sister could have fought as hard
as she did.
Amii was never given the luxury of dealing
with her own pain or the pain of losing her sister because right after the
trial, that she helped lose no thanks to that rat bastard Ryan Maine Mr. White's
lawyer, her father left her and her mother high and dry. You see he couldn’t cope with the fact that
Ian White’s lawyer got him off of the charges of murdering her sister
Aunna. What she held and festered like a
Trojan Virus is the fact that when his lawyer Ryan Maine cross examined her
about her account of the kidnapping he made there be enough reasonable doubt
that made her look like she did not really recall what happened when in fact
she did. He just twisted her words
around. That day made her feel like she
had lost her sister all over again and that Ryan Maine had stolen her soul to
get this scum Ian White off. The sad
thing is Ian White walked out a free man only to kill again a month later.
Imagine her surprise when she attends
Jordon Preston’s Party at his home for his new screenplay. When Ryan tries to use a pick up line on her.
When she shoots him down by telling him
that she could never be in his company because he had cross examined her where
he stole her soul and made her doubt herself.
Forever hating him.
He was stunned and talks to Preston about
her and of who she is. Finds out that
she is a new author that just wrote a book that Preston wants to get the
screenplay rights to. That night though
he knew it was love at first sight for him and Amii would one day be his
wife. He just needed to figure out how
he had made her lose her soul, how to get her to forgive him, and getting her
to marry him. Nothing to big you see.
You will enjoy how this couple have to
work through some of the more touchy issues of their past lives to walk through
the present ones. They both have trust
issues and fears. With fireworks, some
with tears, and the best with some loving.
This is a short but fun and engaging story line. I give this 5
stars. Provided by NetGalley.
