Mitch was a spoiled brat, all of his other brothers found a way to get along with their dad, and I think Mitch should have found a way also. Mitch‘s mother, who did a little more then her husband, when it came to interacting with their children, but I still think Mitch‘s dad was a hard task master.
When Mitch met Blake he was an Arse right from the beginning, and I like the way she called him on his “Shit” because it was the right thing to do as the head of Human Resources.
When Mitch decided he wanted Blake, nothing was going to stop him from having her, not even Blake herself. They both had issues that they needed to overcome in order to be together.
Overall I enjoyed reading this ARC in advance.
Hot
Very hot and steamy read about Blake and Mitch. They both understand each other based on their pasts and that made them gelled. I highly recommend this book.

Mitch Black is the son that always needs bailing out, well now it is time for him to get his act together or he will be cut off. Victor Black gives him one last chance and gives him a job in the family business, Mitch is determined to prove to his father that he is not a total screw up. Blake Phoenix is the CHRO of the Black company and she is determined to prevent sexual harassment in the company, Blake forgot to include herself from falling for Mitch Black.
I enjoyed this enemy to lovers trope, Mitch and Blake’s chemistry was very and they could not resist each other. They always say once you find the right woman you will settle down and do right. I know Victor wished he would have thought this plan a long time ago it might would have saved him some money in the long wrong, but every thing happens for a reason and in its season. The son’s of Victor Black has a been a great serious so far and I am looking forward to reading about the baby boy.
This is my first time reading this author. The story is a good one and has some steamy scenes in it. The characters have some interesting dynamics.

Blake and Mitch may have grown up in different social classes, but they both experienced traumatic childhoods. This goes to prove that just because a person CAN reproduce, doesn’t mean they SHOULD!! From foster homes to boarding schools; dating the wrong guys to racking up an extensive rap sheet; a crackhead mama to a jerk of a father…these two have seen a lot!! Despite the abuse, they proved they could do anything they put their minds to and their passion was on RED!! What happened to Greyson and his wife?? They went from expecting a baby to being divorced???And can someone help Vic have SEVERAL seats??!! He just doesn’t know when to stop!! Anywho, I loved this one and can’t wait to see who Grant’s mystery lady is in the next one!!

This was a good book. I really felt sorry for Mitch as his father Victor really is an A$$ ! It irritates me bad when parents talk to and treats their children like he does. Mitch does bring a lot on him with his alcohol, sex and fights. The last time he went to jail his dad came to bail him out as well as give him an ultimatum. Get it together or get out of the family. Getting it together also meant a job in the family business….which then turned him being Blake’s problem.
Blake’s in HR or should I say the boss of HR and she has been warned about Mitch by Victor. Immediately they get off on the wrong foot and she has it out for him. That is until they give into their sexual tension.
Mitch being in the news or tabloids is nothing new but being in them for something false is definitely new. Never scorn a woman…

I have not read a bad book from this author yet and this book is no exception! The great plot and character development kept me so engaged throughout the entire book that I had a very hard time putting this book down until the very last page was turned!

This book is fantastic and brilliantly written with a story line that is flawless, witty, funny, well developed, emotionally deep, and very interesting. The story flows smoothly, consistent, intriguing, and moves along at a brisk pace. Likeable characters; the chemistry between them is undeniable. This book met all of my expectations and then some! A really enjoyable read!

I didn’t realize each brother was getting their own book, but it was a welcome surprise! This book captured my attention from the beginning and held me until the end.
The story is written in dual pov, which helps to see the whole picture. The writing is well done. Blake’s sternness and no-nonsense attitude jump off the pages, as does her guilt, remorse, and addiction. The pacing was perfect for the story and the plot was interesting. Even when I had to put it down to do mundane things, like eat, the characters and their issues were floating through my mind. There were things about Blake that I did not like, but Verano gave me a different lens (through Mama Max) to see Blake’s position without dismissing her bad choices. The message that strength does not mean perfect resonated with me, loudly. It’s so true! I liked Mitch’s character as well. Though, my heart broke for him. Blake’s realization of Mitch’s lack of a loving father was pivotal for her (she realized they weren’t so different in that). Mitch and Blake had some growing to do in order to get their HEA. Several parts had me all kinds of hot and bothered, which rarely happens when I’m reading. I attribute this to the absence of the cheesy lines that are commonly used during adult moments. I look forward to Grant and Kent’s stories! I recommend this book for an anytime read.
This is an adult read with language and scenes. There is a mention of attempted rape and infidelity which may be a trigger for some readers.

I absolutely loved the book!! The chemistry between Mitch and Blake was off the charts. They are two broken people putting on a brave front, but are desperately searching for love. Blake’s past kept her tied to Lloyd for entirely too long and what she thought was love. Mitch’s need for his father’s approval and love found him searching for it in all the wrong places. Sadly, there are so many people like this in the world, but fortunately love rescues some of them. That makes the story completely relatable on so many levels. It’s well written, and I got my happily ever after. Can’t wait to read Grant’s story!
Loved this story. Mitch and Blake were such a great couple. Two broken people finding their way to each other despite all the static and resistance that they put up between each other. As you reading this story, you are feeling each emotion that the characters are. The hurt, sadness, anger and the love just comes off the pages. Loved this story and I can’t wait to read more of this series.
