5.0 out of 5 stars Mr. Money Man indeed!
Reviewed in Australia on 26 October 2020

Money man indeed, so demanding, ruthless, powerful yet dominating, a man you’d love to hate, and hate to love. The control he exudes in and out of the bedroom burns with a scorching passion so hot you’ll wonder if you’d make it out alive. Those eye will burn deep into your soul, and those bedroom scenes were oh so steamy, hot, deliciously wicked, wet and wild!

OMG could not put this one down. It has a cliff hanger, so is one of a series. But what a roller coaster read, will keep you guessing. And who doesn’t love a handsome Scotsman as lead, especially if he calls you ‘Lass’

(Sorry Terri). Wow, Kalen Brinner (King) is hot! Like H.O.T. Hot! Not only that but he is Scottish and sometimes he even breaks into his Scottish brogue. Now, I have to say at this point that I am Scottish, but having the hero of the story coming from here, is so rare. I've really only seen this in other genres. Never once have I read a book in my preferred genre where the lead is Scottish. So this earned Terri E. Laine more points. Not that they were needed, because the story earned them all, in my opinion.
Bailey comes from a simple background and is shown a different way of life, by her best friend Lizzie. Then she meets Kalen... I felt Bailey was devoloped really well. She came into her own and made no apologies for it.
Kalen is an enigma to begin with. Then slowly he reveals more about himself, showing vulnerability and strength in the process.
Terri, you know I love you, but I may just love Kalen a wee bit more, but I can't hug him... So extra squeezy hugs for you the next time I see you!

Is it written in dual POV? Yes... however, it is MOSTLY in Bailey's perspective. I would have like to have seen more from Kalen's perspective throughout this book.

So, here we are introduced to Bailey who has just gotten out of a relationship with her cheating fiance. The opening scene is HOT and mysterious as she's pressed against the wall of a restroom stall. Happy New Year!

Bailey is slowing falling for her New Year's stranger, Kalen. However, he has too many secrets and she can't keep up. That is, of course, until they all come colliding together at the end causing her to run back home.

Good book. Great story. Hoping the other 2 books in the series show more from Kalen's perspective though.

5.0 out of 5 stars 4.5 Stars - Hot damn this Scottish man! Talk about a HOT start into a story! *fanning myself*
Reviewed in the United States on 10 November 2019

I was so intrigued by Kalen despite his demanding ways. There was such a mystery surrounding his character due to all the secrets he kept, which was a huge part of why this book was so interesting and unputdownable.

I was excited for this story ever since the book was announced. And now that it’s finally here and I devoured it, I have to wait for the second book! ARGH! Why is this world so cruel to me?!

The Story:
Bailey has sex with a stranger on New Year’s Eve, the day she was supposed to marry her cheating fiancé whom she left only a few weeks ago. This Scottish man, who calls her lass, knows how to press all her buttons. What a shame that she won’t be seeing him again after tonight. Well, until fate has other plans.

Thoughts:
Even though I didn’t a hundred percent connect with the characters yet (which I think will change when I get to know more about them in the next book), they both piqued my interest. Bailey still second guessed a lot due to the believes and behavior ingrained in her from the community she grew up in.
And Kalen was more than the wealthy gorgeous man women were ogling from all sides. He had a surprisingly soft side which helped me to warm up to him on another level than only being turned on by his alpha attitude. Though I definitely loved his filthy mouth and when he spoke Scots.

Although Bailey was sometimes very indecisive, I loved that she didn’t always fall to Kalen’s feet but gave it to him straight despite her obvious attraction to him. But fear not, she wanted him just as bad as he wanted her which gave us a lot of very hot scenes in this book!

Lizzy, Bailey’s best friend was a great character and I hope that she will get a book of her own. Douchebag Scott on the other hand, Bailey’s ridiculous ex, frustrated the hell out of me and I can’t wait until karma catches up to him.

There was one thing I just didn’t like and didn’t understand why it was even in the book. Matty. I think he was out of place. I didn’t know why he was suddenly an option and Bailey’s confused feelings for him were weird. It came out of nowhere and felt unnecessary.

So, of course this story had an open ending as it will continue in the next book, and although there was somewhat of a cliffhanger, it wasn’t like a life or death situation. At least it didn’t feel that way for me. But I am still waiting on bated breath for the story to unravel.

As a Scot the Scottish thing did nothing for me but damn do I love this book and the leading man! Bailey is a strong female character considering her background, 2nd book is already downloaded.
