I swore I’d never let a man take advantage of me again… then I met him. I’ve been down this road before. I’m broke and vulnerable; he’s rich and commanding… and my boss. Just like before.I may work for Rayce Rivers, the powerful owner of the Rivers Paradise Resort, but I’m determined not to make the same mistake twice. I stand up for myself and draw the line.He steps right over it.Soon I’m doing … line.
He steps right over it.
Soon I’m doing things I swore I wouldn’t and wondering why this time, it all feels different.
His touch turns me to butter, his kiss demands that I yield, and his boyish smile makes me believe him.
The words. The promises. The lies.
Because just when I convince myself he loves me, I’m proven wrong.
Again.
He swears his love for me is true, but I can’t listen. I’m done making mistakes.
Even when that mistake is as beautiful as Mr. Rayce Rivers.

A sweet, passionate story about Rayce a young man who spirals out of control in the face of grief following the death of this parents, yet finding the strength to rise above his failings and being a rock and protector for his family. And Emma, a former professional prima ballerina who has lost the ability to trust her heart after poor romance decisions. When the two meet sparks fly and attraction is high, but Rayce and Emma fight their attraction until they can’t. Full of family support, heartache, doubts, fear, tears, judgement of past mistakes, healing, forgiveness, and love. I loved the character development and how we were able to see the changes Rayce went through from being an emotionally lost playboy to finding true love. I have loved reading this series about the Rivers family.

Captivating, well written story with nice storyline and plot. The characters are likeable and well described.
I like that the story is written in dual POV which gives the reader a lot more of the thoughts and feelings of the main characters. I like when in a series the couples/characters from the previous stories are mentioned or shows up. Updates are always nice.
It was not that easy to get into as the first three.
A beautiful story that has passion and chemistry. I like the writing style of this author because it brings the story to life.
Recommendable read of a nice length.
I received an arc, and am voluntarily leaving this review. Wow, this story really touched me. It’s hard, feeling like the mistakes you make you keep making, hoping this time will be it. I dont think I would have the courage to keep trying. This story was so well written and the characters played off of each other so good that I couldn’t put this book down. I highly recommend it.
Rayce and Emma’s story captivated me from the start. These two are perfect together and brought out the best in each other. A beautiful, well written story line, believable characters and a perfect ending make this a must read. This is the fourth book and a great addition to the Beautiful Rivers series.
I’ve loved all the books in the series but I have to say this one was my favorite. Rayce was flawed but not too much that he couldn’t be redeemed. He made some bad decisions in his grief but at least he didn’t take advantage. Emma was a wonderful character and I loved that she was resilient.
It was such a phenomenal read and had amazing characters and storyline that had me hooked certainly turning pages.

A beautifully well written almost forbidden romance. Rayce is the eldest in this series, but each story can be read as a standalone. Feeling guilty after his parents death he went off the deep end with alcohol and women but has since gotten back to his hard working ways. Emma wanting to be a chef but finds her self homeless and jobless starts to work as a cook at the River’s family resort after a bad encounter with her previous boss. Rayce has seen her at the gallery , but after again seeing her in the kitchen decides he has to have her in more ways than for his personal chef. A really passionate relationship will begin but the both have secrets and things they haven’t told the other which could explode. I really enjoyed this beautiful emotionally rewarding, sizzling hot, story that is well paced and has an awesome ending.

Intense, hot, beautifully complicated love story!
Ah, Rayce, finally we get to see his heart start to heal as he finds his HEA with Emma. But they’ve got a long, long road ahead of them, filled with painful mistakes from their pasts and misunderstandings in their present. Emma is such a wonderful addition to the Swan Pointe community. I really enjoyed her character, and the way she brings out the best in Rayce.
All the little hints and insights we’ve seen about Rayce in the previous three books are skillfully addressed here. This story brings closure to the series while bringing peace and security to Rayce’s heart.
All the books in this series have been fabulous, but this one is simply outstanding. It has everything a classic romance needs – a soul-deep connection, a conflict that requires great personal growth to overcome, genuine and multi-layered characters, and an intense focus on the issues that really matter in a lasting relationship. It’s absolutely the best book in a must-read series that has earned a place on my to-read-again shelf. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
Rayce spots Emma across the room and is pretty much captivated by her elegance, style and aura. As he is about to pursue her, he is waylaid by his brother and business dealing. By the time he frees himself, she’s disappeared. He knows there’s something special about her, and it bothers him that she’s slipped away.
Emma is new to Swan Pointe, running away from her last job and painful memories of bad decisions made. She’s a talented chef, but is grateful for landing a job working banquets at the famous Rivers Paradise Resort, run by Rayce and his two siblings. Rayce is kind of the black sheep/odd man out in his family. His brother and sister are in good loving relationships, where Rayce is really just recovering emotionally from his parent’s tragic death.
Emma is off limits to Rayce, as she is an employee of the resort. He had already brought the business to the brink of death by fraternizing with three different employees during his dark months dealing with his depression and “survivors guilt” when his parents died. Having relations with another employee would be devastating to the Resort and his brother and sister. As soon as her realizes she’s an employee, he tries to put her out of his mind. It doesn’t stop him from looking for her whenever he’s at work, and he feels like a borderline stalker at times.
Emma is not unaffected by Rayce, and the one time their eyes connect by chance in the resort’s garage, is enough to rattle Emma. She’s relationship shy after her bad history being coerced, used, and discarded at her previous job.
I liked the way they fall in love and really connect before things go south. Her heart is broken when she sees evidence that she has again been used and is just another in a line of many. I loved the way Rayce does everything he can to get her back, never once blaming her for turning away from him. Great writing with nice even pacing which increased with the climatic ending. A great romance!

I must admit it took awhile to get into this but then I couldn’t put it down. This is the 4th book in a series & while the previous characters make an appearance they don’t impact on this couples tale. So it’s not necessary to have read them before.
Rayce lost his way after his parents death spiralling into meaningless sex, which by the way comes back to haunt him later. However he got himself together plowing more of his time into the family business.
There were several reasons why Emma left her previous life which left her broke & homeless. She finds herself a job as a chef putting her in the path of Rayce. While the attraction is instant both their pasts impact on the relationship. Well let’s say they do have some very steamy encounters.
Of course the path of true love has some obstacles & you can guess the pasts return. I must say Rayce was a totally different person once they got together & it was very tender & touching. I loved both the characters once I got into the story, at first the dialogue did out me off.
This can be read as a standalone & I love how a good woman can bring happiness to a disillusioned soul.

The well written storyline captured my attention from the very first page and the well developed characters kept me totally hooked until the turn of the very last page! This is one book that I highly recommend reading!
This is a fantastic addition to the series I have enjoyed all of it but I have to admit I did not think I would like Rayce book as much as I did he always seemed a bit too uptight and a bit of a man whore in the previous books for me don’t get me wrong he was a great guy he just was not my favorite or so I thought because after this book I just love him. He and Emma were just so right for each other they were fantastic together and the chemistry between them was so good. A super addition to the series I just loved it.
Rayce is the type of guy that every woman longs to have. He is finally coming into his own. He is at the helm of the family but tragedy had him falling at the wayside for a while before he got himself together. Emma is jobless until she lands one at the resort where Rayce is the owner with is siblings but hold up she’s the woman he saw earlier at a gallery, the one he is captivated by. Rayce is on a mission he wants Emma in his life but will the secrets that he have and oh yes she does to have some to keep them apart in the end? This is one steamy hot romance that will keep you turning the pages until the very last one.

I’ve only read one other story in this series, Beautiful Mine, and it was a pretty great story, but I have to admit that Beautiful Deep far, far outshines it.
Rayce Rivers is the eldest Rivers. He’s their rock, the one who has kept the family legacy alive and has been there for all of the family whenever they need him. When their parents died, Rayce felt guilty and acted out for awhile after by having short-lived affairs with some of his employees, and drowning in alcohol to try to take away his pain. He got over that behavior though, and has since been back to the hardworking man he always was. But when he sees his newest employee, Emma, who works in the kitchen, he’s taken aback. She’s the gorgeous woman he saw at a gallery earlier, and now she works for him. How can he get her to be with him? By hiring her as his new personal chef.
Emma promised herself after her last job ended disastrously, that she’d never let another boss, another man, take advantage of her. So when Rayce hires her as his personal chef, she’s determined to avoid the attraction they both obviously feel. Well, that determination can only last so long in the face of Rayce’s seductive ways, and soon they’re falling headlong into a really passionate relationship that they should both be questioning because there are things about both of them that they haven’t told each other. Things that will probably blow apart their newfound relationship.
I loved Beautiful Deep. Rayce and Emma are extremely lovable characters, especially Rayce. Both have demons riding them, and obstacles stand in their way, but I loved how determined Rayce was in the end, and how Emma finally listened to her heart, rather than listening to her stupid friends. This story really was beautiful – emotionally rewarding, sizzling hot, and just plain beautiful.
SHAKING FREE!!
Man, let me start by saying that Jordyn is definitely a power house all on her own. She hits the ground running. The characters are intriguing, complex and so believable you feel it come alive before you. Talk about off the charts, white hot, and explosive. These two main characters chemistry is electrifying as it sizzles around them. Their personalities are so in turned with one another its almost impossible to tell where one leaves off and the other starts. No kidding, the scenes are so vivid and detailed as each unfolds that it makes one majestic backdrop that leaves you breathless and needing a cold shower. That all adds up to one page turning blast that whips through via a hurricane force whirlwind. Standing in the middle of all the chaos with one thought on replay “what just happened”? Jordyn totally nails this strong storyline that captivates as it moves forward smoothly without a single crease or hitch. Things heat up and tension heightens. You feel the blow coming but not the trajectory. The proverbial other shoe has dropped and left devastation in its wake. Jordyn definitely comes across as one major alpha female she rocks our world and lets us kick back to enjoy what she so skillfully created for our pleasure alone. I have to hand it to her, shes a forced to be reckoned with and I’ll be watching her progression as she blooms like a beautiful rose and we get to witness it opening from our front row seat. Phenomenal job Jordyan, thanks for letting us inside for a brief moment in time to experience it first hand.
