OM/YW romance. Quick read about Declan and Ava. From the moment that he saw her, he knew that she was the one. It took some convincing on his part because he started to throw his money around but that is not what she wanted and once he realized what would work, it was so good. Great story and wonderful characters.

A well written and entertaining older man/younger woman romance. It is a fast pace page turner that is intriguing, witty, engaging, romantic, steamy, and passionate. The characters are likeable; the chemistry between them is intense, instant, and off the charts. Definitely recommended!

I can’t believe an angel just fell from the sky and landed on my lap
For the last six years Declan McCormick has been the CEO of the McCormick Media empire, since his father passed away. His younger brother Jude also works in the company as the Chief Marketing Officer. He has wealth and power but is an empty shell as he has never married or had children and thinks he is a miserable failure. This all at the age of thirty-eight.
Ava is nineteen years old and has just transferred from Boston University to go to school in NYC. Her best friend and stalker, Bella, has also transferred and taken an apartment across the hall from Ava’s new place. These two have been friends for years and have plans to work together after graduation.
When Declan is coming back to the office from a failed lunch, trying to reconnect with a woman he dated a few times in hopes of making a relationship, when he gets onto the elevator and sees an angel as the only other occupant. He has a visceral reaction to her and cannot let her get away. Lucky for him she is going to the same floor as he is. Unlucky for him he soon discovers that she is actually the daughter of his friend and company CFO Arthur. Well it does not matter to Declan as he knows she is the one for him, the one who will be his wife and mother of there many children. It is a good thing Declan is so dang handsome and sexy as Ava is more than interested in this older man. But Declan seems to get in his own way as he tries to impress Ava on their dates. What he has not heard, even though she has said it, is that she is a simpler young woman who is happy to stay home with a pizza and Netflix. She is used to having her father and also her mother throw money at her by buying her expensive things instead of spending time with her. Ava is determined not to have that type of relationship so Declan is going to have to figure out why she is not happy and what he needs to do….and quickly.
This is a great story with an OTT insta-love, older man/younger woman romance. The story is fast-paced but still has good details and the characters are great. My only issue is the number of proofreading errors. It could have used another read through prior to publishing. But overall I did enjoy this story and look forward to the second book in this duet………..bring on the irreverent and flower stealing Bella and the feckless Jude.
Nothing hits the spot better than a sexy, growly, alpha male who is brought to his knees by the woman he loves and loves every dang minute of it. All it takes is one look at Ava and Declan falls head first off the InstaLove cliff. The poor sexy man doesn’t stand a chance, he’s lost to his feelings and needs to claim her in every way possible as soon as possible. Ava puts up the good fight but alas, she too is hit hard by their off the charts chemistry and succumbs to it. TBR “Filthy Rich” and enjoy Declan and Ava’s deliciously sweet and naughty happily ever after.
Interesting and complex characters that take quite a journey to love. Entertaining story that reads well. Would recommend!

Sometimes you come across a story you love so much you don’t want it to end. This is one of those stories. The characters are strong, well developed, wonderful and easy to love. The story of their lives and what they each want pulls you in and captivates you as you turn the pages. The right amount of sweet romance and steamy moments.

Beautiful love story.
Oh my word I loved this story & didn’t want it to end. It was love at first sight for Declan but Ava also had feelings for him. He knew he would do anything for her & asked her friend Bella for help as he was worried that Ava was upset with him. She told him that he needed to not spend tons of money on her as she didn’t like it & in return he gave her his brothers number. I was a bit worried about her Dad’s reaction since Declan was his boss but their love would never be threatened by anyone. I can’t wait for the next book.

I really enjoyed this quick to read older man/younger woman romance. The storyline is fast-paced and well-written, it’s sweet and steamy, both Declan and Ava are wonderful characters, charming and incredibly likable. Loved it.
Wow! Quick and sexy instalove! Declan runs a media company, makes millions of dollars, and has never felt so empty. Ava is the 19 year old daughter of a employee/friend, is in New York to finish school, and is tired of having money thrown at her to make up for not spending time with her. A chance meeting in an elevator and Declan is in over his head. He simply cannot rest until he has made Ava his, and he is hers. But Ava isn’t impressed by his money and makes him work for her love. Add in a crazy, sassy best friend and you have an excellent story! Fun and steamy and well worth reading more than once. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for Ava’s best friend and Declan’s brother!

I really loved this book. Even though it was one of those instant love on first meeting type of romances, the author made it seem so realistic. Declan was very unhappy on how his life was going…he was filthy rich but he didn’t’ feel like he a purpose in life. Along comes Ava…a very young college girl he meets on the elevator of his building. He was entranced and he was instantly hooked. He had to have her. Ava was blown away by the older attractive man and wasn’t use to having these feelings for a man. Declan does his best to woo the young Ava but all he did was strike out. Finally with a little help from Ava’s best friend, Declan got back into the game and made a home run by making things simple and not complicated. He realized just love and not excessive show of money is the way to his Ava’s heart. I really loved Ava’s personality…she really wasn’t one of those young girls that just fall for any old thing and made Declan work for her heart. It was a great book and thoroughly enjoyed and recommend it. Hopefully we will see Bella and Jude’s story in the next book.

I couldn’t enjoy a more decadent over-the-top older man/younger woman short romance than this one. To characterize Declan McCormick’s interest in Ava, his CFO’s daughter as anything other than instant infatuation would be downplaying it significantly. Here we have a successful billionaire of 38 brought to his knees (figuratively at first) at first glance at the 19 year old Ava.
Ava is more centered and down to earth than all the characters much older and established than she is. She knows what she does and doesn’t want, and her choices are solid and she doesn’t waver from them. She does make Declan’s life complete without sacrificing her dreams.
This is a fun, steamy read that doesn’t try to do too much for a short story.
