Thank you publisher and NetGalley for providing me an e-arc in exchange for an honest review. My review is my own and not influenced by others.

When I saw this e-arc on NetGalley, the cover got my attention. The description sounded funny so I was intrigued to read this arc. I started right away with reading because I was eager to get to know the personages and the story.

Kira likes Barclay when she sees him on television; they however meet each other when Barclay comes to her work to thank her for her help with his brother. He offers her a job to keep working with his brother which she declines because she doesn’t want to work private. Even when he raises the salary, she refuses. Not after he begs her to help his brother, she accepts his offer, but still refuses to get paid. This was something I liked, a personage who doesn’t wants to be bought.

What I didn’t like in this book were the personages. I thought Kira is unprofessional, irritating and at many situations tacky. About 50 pages before the book ends Barclay finally admit he misses her and does something about it. The description sounded as it would happen shortly after the beginning and not almost at the end, which makes this story in my opinion, in no way other than other stories.

This story is told from Kira’s as well as Barclay’s point of view which is a nice way to get the both personages well.
