Description

Victor Belmont is the billionaire CEO with a haunted past.

He is in the middle of a major deal then when his assistant calls in sick. The only qualified replacement is Sharon Nichols, a new secretary.

Sharon can't figure him out. One minute he is a jerk, the next he is donating millions to charity. He is arrogant, controlling but also caring and considerate. Who is the real Victor? Whoever he is, Sharon can't stop thinking about him. His pale skin only amplified his piercing blue eyes and his towering muscular physique would intimidate most people, but not Sharon.

The chocolate skinned beauty stopped Victor in his tracks. Not only is she incredibly beautiful but intelligent and strong-willed as well. Everything he wants in a woman. Despite his attraction to her, he knows he must keep the relationship strictly professional. But every second he spends with her only increases his desire for her.

Victor's publicist warns against a relationship with a black woman and stresses the disapproval the board would have. Plus both of them have a strict no relationships policy - Victor is sick of the gold diggers and Sharon has more important things to focus on than men. But with an attraction this strong, it will be tough for both of them to resist.

*CAUTION*: Contains sex scenes and swear words. 18+

    I really wanted to like this author her writing interracial romance is my cup of tea but her writing is too simplistic the story is simple not complex enough for me and the characters are boring.

    Intriguing story of learning about love. A man raised to be a tough businessman discovers that love is more important than his “reputation and power.” And that the color of your skin is irrelevant to the connections of your soul. Great read, although the typos are very distracting. You need an editor! Or at least a better word processing program. Penny Bartlett

    When I found this book, I wasn’t expecting a beautiful romance story, but that’s what I got. I loved the detail and the fact that the characters were so relatable. I only wish that the concept of race had been further explored where it would have been an obstacle for their relationship. Great work. - Herecia

    Victor Belmont is a billionaire CEO mixed with an arrogant and considerate personality. Belmont comes from a wealthy background --thanks to his devilish father--where he was prepped and educated on the topic business since the age of 10. Victor believes it is his civil duty to live up to his father's expectation and succeed in business, which means to sacrifice having friends, relationships and a personal life--exist without living, just like his old man. That is until Sharon Nichols is standing in front of him. Sharon is a beautiful African American woman with a good head on her shoulders. She is intelligent, hardworking, strong-willed, and reasonable. Ms. Sharon takes nothing for granted and lives a simple life of necessity. She isn't rich but she surely knows how to play the cards that life gives her. A romantic chemistry is forming between the CEO and his Assistant. Victor is starting to develop unfamiliar, deep feelings for his assistant while coming to the conclusion that it's important to love and be loved. And, that's something his old man never knew, understood nor experienced in his own personal life with his own wife. It was such a relief to read a novel with a male character who came across realistic. He's wealthy and yet has his own issues within his own family. However, these issues aren't too big of an effect to where he's weak and vulnerable but they're enough for him to realize that there's a lot more to life than what his father has taught him. The same goes for Ms. Sharon. I love how she came from loving home and had an excellent childhood with fond memories conjoined with friends and family. Yet, there's a financial issue with her parents that leads Sharon and her sister to be more creative and productive within their own life--recycling clothes and recognizing the difference between needs versus wants. I love how free minded Rachel (Sharon's little sister) is. She's the type of person who believes being a happy is the most important success anyone can have and that includes following ones dreams regardless of obstacles. I loved this novel and it was quite refreshing! The family issues are realistic and the concept of trying to make do with what you have is relatable. In addition, I love the diversity and personalities of the characters in this novel. I like how the author uses an African American character in her novels. I hope Ms. Blake continues to be diverse and welcome women and men of colors and of different ethnic backgrounds in her future novels. Well done, Ms. Blake.
