Meet the Gods of the Fifth Floor. They work hard. They play hard. They f#ck harder.Think Madmen meets Suits. They have history. They have a connection. They have unfinished business.BeckMoney. Power. And as many women as I can shake my d*ck at. Apparently I’m living the American dream.In reality, I’m trapped in my worst nightmare. And I can’t seem to wake up. The ghosts of my past haunt my … nightmare.
And I can’t seem to wake up.
The ghosts of my past haunt my future.
The money. The hook-ups. The ad agency. The friends.
I’d give it all up in a heartbeat, for the one thing I want, but don’t have.
Her.
Mel
I’ve worked so hard and sacrificed so much to get where I am.
I should be proud of my achievements.
Instead, my success is marred by guilt.
It weighs heavy on my mind day and night.
My future is apparently bright.
Yet I can’t seem to shake the ghosts of my past.
Each day I remind myself what I have, and try to forget what I’ve lost.
Him.

That’s what I call an introduction to a new series, which promises to be totally epic. Four arrogant gods run an advertising agency, they’ve never lost a pitch yet. They have it all success, money, looks and no shortage of women. At least that’s how it appears looking in from the outside. No one’s life is that perfect and I suspect each has a story worth telling.
Melissa and Tyler were high school sweethearts, with big plans for their future. As we know things rarely go according to plan though. Overnight Melissa’s life is turned upside down and without warning or explanation she disappears from Tyler’s life. Withdrawing from society after Melissa ghosted Tyler, he reinvents himself as Beck. Meanwhile Mel has had to make some life changing decisions and face her own adversity.
As Director of New Business, the gods are on their way to pitch advertising ideas to a new client. It’s been 12 years since he’s seen her and like something he conjured up, she’s standing right in front of him. They both appraise each other and it is obvious time has been very kind to them both. Tyler has filled out in all the right places, whilst Mel has curves any man would want to run his hands over. Will their past interfere with the campaign or can they continue to act like the professionals they are?
Beck and Mel have some serious baggage with each other. Running into each other 12 years later seemed kismet though. Even after all these years their attraction was undeniable. They were off the charts hot! I loved Beck and his undying love for Mel. It never wavered even while he was pissed at her and her excuses. While I liked Mel and understood some of her reasons, I also wanted to smack her. A lot. She had this man who forgives her for everything and she still wants to push him away?
Shocking, hot, emotional, and steamy Beck will knock your socks off!
Can the burning ember of love reignite again?
Beck is the first book of the Gods Of The Fifth Floor series. I read this book after reading Raine so I was not sure if it would stand up to that book, as sometimes the first book in a series is not as impressive. I thought this is a well written book with and interesting second chance romance story-line. Tyler Beckett and Melissa Reid were in love until she disappeared without a word. This shattered Beck’s heart and since then no one else has been able to capture it. Beck and his three friends started and own an advertising agency together. He is all set to pitch a new ad campaign to Beyner America when he sees Melissa. It is twelve years since she left and she is now the VP of Marketing at Beyner. Well things are about to get very interesting between these two. Beck needs answers from her and he is not about to let her get away again. Even when she tells him things she is still hiding one very big secret. The spark between them is still smoldering just waiting to become a full blown fire that will overtake them both and fuse them together.
I received a copy of this book from the author for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
New series. Four friends build a business that becomes an empire. First up is Beck.and his lost love Melissa The were in love and Mel vanishes. Fate steps in and they meet again, Beck was shattered when Mel left and he needs answers. Secrets will be revealed. A good read filled with emotion and sexual tension. A lot of fun banter and decent interaction between characters. The characters are good and the friends will make you want to move to the fifth floor. A nice epilogue at the end, Can’t wait for the rest of the books.

This book started out great. I had high hopes for it, but unfortunately, I thought there was a lot for stuff going on and it really couldn’t keep my interest. However, I did finish it, and it will not deter me from reading other books by this author. I have absolutely loved several of this authors books, unfortunately this one just didn’t do it for me.
Multiple tropes – positively surprising plot, great writing, perfect read!
This book is epitome of perfect romance for me. It has multiple tropes inside, it has multiple plots, it is not straight forward. The situation between hero and heroine I would call complicated at best. There is full range of emotional states that two main characters are going through and what is most important and why I gave it a 5* rating is the fact that I could easily embark on the same journey with them both. Both were easy to connect, it was easy to feel compassion, to be empathetic toward their situation.
I loved all the aside plots and other characters that were presented on the pages. I do not want to give anything away but I want you to give this book a try. It can really positively surprise you. Hopefully you will feel the same as me after reading it. Can’t wait for the other books from the Gods of the Fifth Floor.
Beck started an advertising agency with his friends that took off and made them rich. Beck should be happy with all the money, women and success but he misses Melissa. Melissa is the woman that he can’t forget. Melissa has worked hard to become the successful person she is today. She also has a huge secret that she keeps from Beck. The two meet again after twelve years on a potential client meeting. Will the attraction between them be enough to spark another chance? How will Beck react to Melissa’s secret?

What a fabulous start to a new series! The storyline was SO good and you never saw what was coming! Great chemistry between Beck and Mel and the angst, my favourite! Do not second guess reading this book – it’s a must! Loved!!!
Beck and Mel’s story was absolutely perfect. It was engaging and I couldn’t put it down. I love second chance love stories and this story checked every box.
I really enjoyed this book. A great second chance romance with all the feels. Loved Beck and the rest of the Gods. Melissa grew on me by the end. This was a well written story filled with love, secrets, and steam.

Loved it. Couldn’t put it down.
Smoothly written story, great characters – Unfinished business, indeed
—>>> Twelve years has gone by, but Beck still has “The Dream,” one which he cannot seem to shake loose from his brain and puts him in a nasty frame of mind. It must have been an omen, though, for that very same day when Beck walks into a pitch meeting, he runs into the very same girl staring in it, Melanie, who had disappeared like a ghost from his life. Beck is now a self-made man, having founded BR&ND, a top-rated advertising company with his three best friends from Yale. Just like they picked up the pieces after Mel had disappeared from his life with no explanations, they now support him when he single-mindedly pursues his first love and demands answers. The question is whether he will be able to accept the truth when it comes, because the girl he once knew and loved is now a woman with many secrets and a life she would rather put behind her. But just like he declared, they have unfinished business…
A smoothly written story with great characters and an intriguing secondary cast.
Beck swaggers with his sexy confident approach to business and his sex life. He met the love of his life as a teenager and then she disappeared. Twelve years later he is blown away when Melissa is at his office for a pitch meeting. It’s like seeing a ghost but the show must go on. Melissa is shocked to see Beck, aka Tyler, after all these years. Walking away from him was the hardest thing she did when her world imploded. Since then, she has shown her strength as she rebuilt her life and found a career that she loves. Beck carries a lot of anger and hurt towards Melissa but can’t deny that the love he felt then still exists. Now that these two are being thrown together for work, will they find that spark hasn’t faded? Can Beck find forgiveness for Melissa? Why did she leave? So much to love about this journey that is messy and passionate.
Four attractive, beyond wealthy men make up the advertising brand BR&ND. This is the story of Beck. Average guy who worked his way to the top with 3 of his closest friends. While his professional life is great, his personal life is not. He never got over his first love Mel who one day just disappeared on him. 12 years later, a chance meeting puts them together and their world is never the same.
The attraction between these two are well written. The “drama” that unfolds is factual and believable. There were times that Beck’s controlling attitude and one way of thinking was annoying (I personally don’t like men like that) but if a writer makes me feel a certain way then they have done a great job of expressing themselves.

This is a great start to a new series. This is a billionaire second chance love story between Beck and Melissa. The beginning is very fast paced, it does slow down and drags a bit in the middle while their back story is revealed. I liked this story but I’m more intrigued by the other men of the fifth floor and look forward to their stories.

I’ve loved all that she has written previously and i knew this would not be any different. I found this book different from her previous writing more mellow but still just as good.
Tyler (Beck) Beckett founded a advertising agency with his friends Raine, Nate and Dillon. Beck seems to have it all Money , power , woman but there has always been something missing
Melissa is a Senior VP of marketing in Beyner America, has worked and sacrificed alot to be where she is , but her past still haunts her till this day.
When Mel gets asked to sit in a hear a pitch, she doesn’t expect the one that got away to walk through the door, both not expecting each other both just as shocked as the other. They haven’t see each other in 12 years .Amongst the boys Melissa is known as the one who broke Becks heart and ruined him for all other woman Beck needs answers why Mel just up and left and he wont stop till he gets them. No matter how much time has past the off the chain sexual chemistry is still there, but it wont be as easy to pick up where they left off all those years ago, and secrets tear people apart every day, and Melissa has a huge one.
When Beck finds out why she left will he able to forgive and forget or will it all be too much for him to handle. Can they start again or will the past come back to haunt them, and when Beck finds out Mel’s huge secret will he able to forgive and move on or will it be too much to forgive. Is a second chance in the cards of Mel and Beck. Your going to have to read it to find out.
This book is about a love lost but not gone , about the one that got away, its about second chances. I cannot wait for all the boys to get their own book. I recommend this to everyone who is looking for a hot second chance story with a hot alpha who does anything to get his way.!!!!!!
An absolute pleasure to read. I thoroughly enjoyed the writing style. The book flowed flawlessly and smoothly. I liked the wittines too.
The storyline and the characters were awesone. I absolutely love the diversity and the differences in the 4 gods of the fifth floor marketing agency.
I really loved Beck, his strong dominant alpha behavior, his dirty mouth and of course the hot sex scenes between Beck and Melissa.
I love that huge surprise twist too.
I couldn’t get enough of this book.
This is a new author to me and I’ll definitely will be reading more from this author!
This was well written star crossed lovers who need to take a second chance. The characters are well written and engaging and the chemistry and heartbreak is felt throughout the pages. Will Beck and Mel be able to get past the hurdles to get their HEA in the end/beginning.

My first book by this author and I enjoyed the read. I love a good roller coaster ride. This is the first book in the God’s Of The Fifth Floor. The storyline is about Beck and Melissa. Beck is partners with three of his friends of BR&ND an ad agency. Beck is an rich, cocky alpha. Melissa is the senior VP of marketing at Beyner America. Beck is pitching an ad for her company. I couldn’t help but root for them. I voluntarily received an arc copy of this book from Hidden Gems.

Beck and Mel’s story: WOW! I really enjoyed this book. It’s not usually my cup of tea, but I’m so glad that I read the book. You’ll be glad to have read the book as well. So don’t hesitate to do it. Beck and Mel have known each other for a long time. They were in love as teenagers and something happened that caused them to be separated. (Hint: You’ll have to read the book to find out what occurred.) The story is filled with ups and downs from both characters. It’s the second time around and a chance to make things right. The secrets of the past have a way of coming to light.
This is the first book of the series! I have no doubt the other members of BR&ND will have books too. If they’re anything like Beck and Mel’s story, we’re all in for a treat. So what are you waiting for?? Read it! I loved this book so much that I purchased it after I received an ARC from Booksprout. Yes, I left my honest review!
