Was drawn into these characters right off the bat. Couldn’t put it down. Such wonderful writing, I can’t wait to read more.
I just finished reading this book and I floved it. Sebastian Hadtin g is an ass at first that’s like catnip to me. He’s a billionaire, so he’s cocky but man can that man be sweet. Harper she’s strong and seeet and their banter was adorable. This story was entertaining with a bit of adventure. I am patiently waiting for the sixth book so you bet I will be reading the rest of her books.
My favorite part of this book was Harper and Sebastian’s snarky banter and that their friends and family could see what they didn’t! Lots of laughs some tears and a bit of suspense perfectly placed through this one. I absolutely enjoyed Holding Out for Harper and can’t wait to see what Gabrielle Ashton creates next. Must read!!
I received an ARC copy and wanted to leave my honest review.
So, I think I like this one even better than the first book in the series. I totally love that Sebastian!
Harper has been working for Sebastian’s brother for 3 years and is not happy when she has to fill in for Sebastian’s executive assistant during her holiday. Sebastian and Harper always have this snarky relationship. When Harper finds her fiancé Chad has been stealing her money, she is quite upset. Due to circumstances the press reveals Sebastian has proposed to Harper and he is willing to pay Harper to keep up the pretense for reasons. Soon Harper moves in with Sebastian and their temporary engagement seems to get quite real. Their chemistry is real.
I must have read this book in a couple of hours. Don’t care that Sebastian is sometimes arrogant and spends his money carelessly. I love this couple together and devoured the book.
On to the next!
This is the second book in the Holding Out Series and my second read of Gabrielle’s.
Sebastian is your typical businessman/rich boss. Very handsome and cocky to boot. He knows he could have any woman he wanted and he has! All but the one who works for him. Well used too and is now his brothers assistant. He knew the moment he saw Harper that she was going to be a distraction for him. He also knew he couldn’t act on those feelings he had for her. But when he needed a way to keep gold diggers from his life, she might be what he needs after all.
Harper was a hard worker. She loved her job except for one person. Sebastian Hastings! He hated that man from the time she heard him having a conversation about her to his brother, who is her boss now. Every time he would talk or tease her she would throw it right back at him. But when a mistake comes down on her she has nowhere else to turn but to the man she hates. Can she work with him on this deal he has came up with?
I loved everything about this book. The relationship between Seb and Harper was amazing!!
