3 STARS

Nice cover and it's part of what got my attention.  It's also a sweet, tame story.  It is clean though like promised.  I liked that it was not  only  advertised that way but actually was. .  

It just didn't draw me in as much as I had hoped but that might also be a personal issue.  I mean both of the main characters were 30 years old or close to it.  And each one of them is being controlled by their parent?  I hate stuff like that.  I wanted them to get a backbone and fast.  Especially since they were so successful in business.   But I also understood that they had been raised up in this and it's going to take some time.

There is plenty of writing that makes it easy to visualize the places, clothing, homes and other places.  That was well done.  So was the feelings and emotions of the main characters. 

H.E.A. included. 

Michelle is Eva's best friend and she's a good one.  She also gets her own story that we get a look into at the end of this book.
