Unemployed. Check.
Zero prospects. Check.
An eviction notice in hand. Check.
Life in shambles? Check. Check. Check.
Desperate to avoid living on my sister's couch, I took a job in the one place I shouldn't.
That's where I first saw him.
Drew Lawson.
Elusive bad boy.
Owner of the hottest club in the city.
And apparently my new boss.
Temptation comes in many forms.
For me, it's the way he looks at me.
The way he feels.
He's my addiction.
My secret.
I know I should keep my distance.
I could lose everything--even myself.
But I can't.
And neither can he.

Overall Opinion :

The book was amazing for me! I loved the initial plotline , however it got a bit boring in the middle but picked up again towards the end.

The main characters had amazing chemistry and their dynamic was something that I looked forward to! Drew and Bailey were amazing in every way and I loved seeing them both battle their demons and overcome their fears to be with each other.

I will admit that I expected a bit more towards the end , but still the book was interesting for me. I won't say that I'll be re reading this one , but I can definitely recommend this book to others as a one time read for all the contemporary romance lovers who would love broody yet soft heroes who finally find their match in a sweet yet sassy heroine!

Final Verdict :

A sweet Romance!

The main leads had an amazing chemistry.

A one time read contemporary romance for me.

No major plot twists.

A sassy Romance with a good HEA.
