This is a great story! Joy is hiding at a resort. Working under the table and enjoying the couple that she works for. She knows that she can’t stay forever, her past will catch up with her, literally. Kaeden has been told to let go of some of the control he has a problem letting go of. If he can’t, he may be fired. When they meet, there is chemistry between the two. Can they each let go enough to find happiness? Can Joy find the peace she needs in her life? This a wonderful story, and one that should definitely be read!
The book flowed smoothly. There were a couple of errors that I am sure will be caught with the last proofreading. These did not detract from the story. Kaeden O’Shea and Joy “Jane” Wilson have a strong attraction. Both have trust issues, and they both have trouble opening up to people. All the characters are wonderfully written. I love the story. Looking forward to more from this author.

it was amazing
Learning to trust again is so very difficult. Kaeden & Joy both have things in their past that makes trust more difficult.
Fireworks between them and disagreements abound.
I do recommend this book.
I received this book as an ARC for an honest review.
I haven’t read the others in this series but this stand alone. I’m sure the others have more back ground on the characters.
I enjoyed this one, Kaeden is not really a team player as he has trust issues. Now he must prove his leadership to manage a team. Joy was a great character, on the run and in hiding from the evil man who married her mother. Keeping one step ahead of him and hiding away her invalid mother until Kaeden comes to the rescue. They both have to learn to trust and survive to have a future together.
Intriguing story line, I loved it.
Kaeden is NOT a team player. He keeps to himself, does his job and then some and keeps everything business. He does not get close to anyone but Joy she somehow is drawing him in. There is more to her than meets the eye. Joy is secretive and keeps everyone at a distance but she is tired of holding it all in. She has an instant dislike for Kaeden and he is instantly attracted. Let the adventure in company retreat begin!
Secrets, romance, sexy hot passion and thrills. This story had it all including some old characters we know and love!
Kaeden tends to micro-manage everything he doesn’t do himself. Now his boss hands him the planning of the company retreat and team-building. Most of the work has already been done, but he has an on site liaison and two Hospitality interns to handle the running. Of course he thinks he has everything covered.
Joy is his liaison with the hotel and she gets a kick out of his trying to run the show. Kaeden doesn’t handle any twists or changes well, but somehow Joy manages to get under his skin. She has secrets and he wants to help her, but first he has to gain her trust.
I loved this book, Kaeden goes through so much growth and the relationship he starts with Joy is both sizzling and sweet.
Lots of giggles, plenty of fun, some action plus a sizzling romance.
I enjoy the Sutton Capital series, and this book is a great addition. The pace was fast, and the story grabbed my attention from the very beginning and held it to the
last page. I really wasn’t expecting the turn the book took when I first started reading it.
Kaeden and Joy had the same issue with not getting close to people. They were able to easily recognize the trait in one another. Joy held a secret that was dangerous to both herself and her mother.
I thought Kaeden and Joy had really good chemistry. Although it seemed like instalove, it felt differently because they seemed to have to break down some emotional walls before they felt comfortable with one another.
I also liked that the Sutton Capital family can always be counted on to step up to the plate for one another. This story was suspenseful, intense, romantic, and sexy.
Once Joy’s controlling step-father makes his appearance in the book, it feels like we move at break neck speed to a final resolution and the inevitable HEA.
I voluntarily read and reviewed the Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

Joy slowly begins to trust Kaeden, but after her past history with a controlling individual, can she trust him with her mother’s life? When the situation turns dangerous, can Kaeden and the team from Sutton Capital protect Joy and her mother? A wonderful addition to the series with updates on some of our favorite characters. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation from the author. (by paytonpuppy)
I love this book and series. The characters draw you in and you just want to keep There’s drama and intrigue plus lots of suspense. Once I started I couldn’t put it down. Great book and series highly recommended it.
Great book..I am thoroughly enjoying this series!
An awesome addition to the Sutton capital series. Kaden and Joy had so much in common except for the secret Joy had been keeping. In the usual Lori Ryan style, a well written, well thought out story with a twist that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I highly recommend this series.
How can an uptight control freak get a promotion that requires teamwork? And how can a tech-savvy woman stay off the grid, hiding out, and still provide care for her ill mom? Kaeden and Joy are about to find out! Team bonding, local help, and fun excursions bring Kaeden and Joy together, while an angry step-father wants to keep them apart – permanently! This was a fast read for me – hard to put down. A nice addition to the Sutton Capital Series, this story may not be as suspenseful as some, but it still grabs you and won’t let go until the last page is turned.
A great book. Good to see some familiar faces!
I haven’t read all the Sutton Capital books yet but this one is a worthy addition to the series. Kaeden and Joy are well-written characters and you do pull for their HEA. Both characters had some bad things happen in the past which gave them trust and control issues. Kaeden and Joy both had to overcome their pasts.
I received an ARC to review and give my honest opinion. I didn’t find more than a couple instances of the wrong name in the text. Compared to a lot of other authors that I regularly read, she had the most error –free book.
“According to Plan” is seriously my favourite book by Lori Ryan to date! The chemistry is some of the best I have read. “According to Plan” is everything Lori is famous for writing, sexy men, alpha to trot, strong women who make their mark! This book is just perfect. Perfect characters. Perfect romance. Perfect drama. Perfect plot. Perfect transition. Perfect execution. Perfect writing. Everything was perfect and I’m so sad that it’s over. I contemplated quoting my favourite parts/scenes in my review but it would literally be the entire book and I’d basically spoil everything so go grab yourself a copy today and find out for yourself how epic this book is. It’s part of a phenomenal series that I absolutely love and is in my all time favourite series list to read over and over again. Happy reading!!
Joy was amazing and really impressed me by how she had been running and hiding for years. Kaeden has his reasons for being prickly – still liked him. When these two meet – sparks fly both good and bad ones. Their early scenes together were pretty comical. I love the Sutton Capital series and this one was even better than the last imo. Definitely lots of suspense and mystery as well as romance with heat.
Caleb is a hard worker, but now he has to prove to his boss that he can delegate job to his team, not doing everything by himself.
Joy is on the run. She is working at the moment at place where company that Caleb works for, have their retreat.
Joy and Caleb have to work together. He can feel that she is hiding something.
Both of them are hiding from their past, but for how long?
Another great story by Lori Ryan.
Kaeden is seeking a promotion which is within his grasp, if he can organize a retreat and get to know his coworkers better. Joy agrees to assist Kaeden with organizing the event. Despite their need to maintain control there is an undeniable attraction between the two. Kay is harbouring secrets, her safety depends on it. Can two solitary individuals let down their defenses and find something great? It’s a quick sexy, suspenseful, sweet story.
Kaeden is trying to earn the right to head his team but he has to prove his worth to his boss. Unfortunately Kaeden only trusts himself to get things done correctly & he just can’t give up control. He can’t believe the employee at the resort & some of her ideas for activities. He can tell she’s hiding something but he isn’t sure he wants to get involved.
Joy has been running & not staying in one place for years. Anything to keep her step father away from her mom & keep him from hurting her further. It’s about time for her to leave the resort she’s been working at when Kaeden arrives for their retreat. She can tell he needs help letting go or he’s not going to get the promotion he wants. Why is she staying longer than she should?
This storyline moves at a nice pace & really keeps you interested. The characters are well developed & have realistic flaws. Kaeden has to control everything & doesn’t trust anyone else to do the job. Joy doesn’t trust anyone & doesn’t want to give in to her attraction to Kaeden. The readers of this series are also given a chance to catch up on other familiar characters’ lives. I really enjoy the combination of romance & action that Ms. Ryan puts in her books.
Another great Sutton adventure
This is another great story about a member of the Sutton Group. The characters were great and the main man has trust issues that his boss has him work on and a woman that is to work with him has the two butting heads. As they go back and forth he finds that he needs to help her. They both change as the story carries you through to the end. I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
