Just Say “I Love You”
When Rose Johnson discovers that her college boyfriend, Will, has cheated on her for years while she had done everything for him to make his life easy—washing clothes, entertaining his friends, using her money to pay for his wants—she feels like a fool. How could she have been so blind and misjudged their relationship so badly? So, graduation allows her to leave the past behind. Maybe now she can reconnect with herself and what she wants, but can she trust her judgement in any relationship when she so wrong about Will’s feelings for her?
So, graduation and starting a job back home in Chicago is a relief. And, she is lucky enough to be hired in the sales department of a pharmaceutical clinical lab run by Dr. Duke Nolan, who is known for his absolute focused attention to his lab—even to the point of exhaustion. For Rose, this job is perfect; the lab is about to release a newly discovered drug that will be a game changer. What pleases both Rose and her dad, Barry Johnson, chairman of the board for the Chicago Museum of Science is that it connects Rose to her father’s world of science, a field that is not Rose’s passion, but as a member of a sales team, she can flourish in a science-based company. Unfortunately, on her first day at work, on the day she is to be introduced to Dr. Nolan, she bumps into a man on the sidewalk outside of the company’s office building, causing him to spill a full cup of coffee all over his white shirt and tailored suit. And he is angry and aggressive in his demands for an apology, which Rose grudgingly offers—it was an accident, not intentional. But most shocking of all is Rose’s unexplained attraction to this older man. When she is introduced to the same man later that morning as the great and wonderful Duke Nolan, Rose and her boss begin a continued series of accidents and misunderstandings that both draw them together and push them apart, especially when a baby and the reappearance of the ex-boyfriend get thrown into the mix.
Author, Suzanne Hart has woven a complicated romance built on a foundation of misunderstandings, fragile egos and inexperience in relating to others in a healthy manner. Possessing a vision of a complex plot, Hart sets up many threads that the reader needs to hold tightly in order to successfully follow the plot and the author’s message. But the treads are not as tightly and convincingly woven as the reader would wish. More than anything, the reader is confronted Rose’s lack of confidence and unwillingness to commit out of fear of repeating her past—loving someone who does not love her back. So, when the ex reappears, after knowing his smarminess, Rose’s consideration of his pitch of wanting a do-over is both disappointing and unbelievable, especially when she is pregnant with another man’s child. This is a novel, that while having good bones, needs another revision or clever editor to achieve its full potential.

This book was fabulous. I couldn’t put the book down for a second. Dr Duke Nolan and Rose Johnson were great characters. Rose met Duke when she was walking on the sidewalk in Chicago and accidentally bumped into him with steaming hot coffee. Instead of getting angry, Duke found himself flirting with Rose. Rose was on her way to work at Nolan Pharma when she suddenly realized just who she’d run into. Her boss and the founder of the company, Dr Duke Nolan. She had never been formally introduced to Duke, barely even seen him. But when her manager told her that she was recommended for a new project working with THE Dr Nolan himself, she became afraid he may fire her about the coffee incident. There was a meeting with everyone on the project and Duke recognized the beautiful woman from the street that morning. He became smitten with her. Everybody on the sales team was meeting at a bar to celebrate. After a few drinks Rose makes an excuse to go to the restroom giving Duke the eyes to meet her. They have mind-blowing sex in the restroom of the bar. This was just the beginning of this amazing read. I highly recommend.
A Beautiful Mistake
What a great story to read! These two characters are more stubborn than mules though! How I wanted to reach into the pages & yell at them with their friends about the love they have for each other & not to waste so much time for what was meant to be! I’ve been drawn into stories but not so far as to feel as this could very well be happening in real life & I was getting more involved into their drama than I thought I’d be. Sure surprised me on this one!
With such a big age gap between them, I didn’t think they would see a HEA. Having a 3rd person wrapped around his finger, heart & mind is the clincher! Loved this novel & would recommend picking up it up & read it!

Worth reading. 3.5 stars. This book didn’t always sit well with me, even though the storyline started really well. I liked the idea of reading about two people, Rose and Duke, with an 18 years age difference between them and the way they met was novel with some witty dialogue. Their magnetic physical attraction is very steamy, almost explosive, and undeniable. What I didn’t like is Duke’s character. He may be a 40-year-old rich, gifted, and accomplished scientist but his perpetual-bachelor, selfish, stubborn, self-serving pig-headed attitude annoyed the living daylights out of me. Rose’s insecurity and overly gentle nature is too much at times but can be explained by her youth and inexperience, not to mention her unplanned pregnancy. Duke has no excuse. Their mutual assumptions, presumptions are baffling from two, otherwise, intelligent people, how their miscommunication or lack thereof is leading to a lot of hurt for them both. I think their toing and froing goes on for a bit too long but finally, their 11th-hour honesty helps achieve a long-awaited HEA. There are tension points that keep the interest alive and the book is very well edited.

Fantastic story.
This story was like a whirlwind of emotions & I couldn’t get enough of this story desperate to know what’s next. I loved how Rose & Duke met I thought it was so sweet but then the way he behaved when he found out she was pregnant then who her dad was I hated him. When Diana was mean when she first met Rose I thought he’d stick up for Rose but then as it went on it was Diana who she became friends with & Diana hated him for how cold & insensitive the way he was being with Rose but he just saw her as the mother of his child. God I hated him especially when he got the museum job he told her he didn’t need her anymore their fake marriage had served its purpose which hurt Rose as she lived him but he didn’t feel the same. She had moved out of his house swapped her job at work so they wouldn’t so they never saw each other then her cheating ex kept trying to worm his way back into her life. It was only when Monica her friend from work & room mate called Duke to say her ex had been pestering her that he went to her house just in time to save her, she was 5mths pregnant now & it was the first time he’d seen her in months & he finally admitted to her that he loved her hoping she felt the same. She wasn’t sure if she was dreaming until Monica & Diana came through the door interrupting them making up, when they left she agreed to move back in with them & become a proper family then he flew her to Ireland where he’d loved spending time before he’d met her & wanted to show her how peaceful their life would be. This story had me hating him, feeling sorry for him then hating him again & only started to love him towards the end when he finally made Rose happy.

It’s only as she arrives at work that she realises who he was – it’s the owner of the company she works for and she has just been told she is going into a meeting which he is chairing!
Despite them both trying to stay away from each other, it doesn’t happen and weeks later Rose finds out he has left her with a little gift. When she approaches Duke, despite not being happy, he talks her into a fake relationship, because he wants something she can help him get.
The tension between the two is awful, and Rose finally makes a decision and walks away, but neither are happy. Will they come to their senses or is it too late!
This is a great read, with twists, turns and complications throughout.
An enjoyable read! The story line is amazing, well developed, engaging, emotionally deep, well written, and flows smoothly. There is drama, intrigue, some danger, passion, and twists and turns. The characters are likeable though frustrating at times; the chemistry between them is instant and undeniable. Definitely recommended.

When Rose works for her boss, Duke, it usually stops you from thinking to step over that line. In this case, it’s hard to stop thinking of each other.
Of course hot sex gets them into trouble and later he’ll make a deal with Rose.
Unexpected people will get involve and each will re-evaluate their situations.

From the depths of a pint of dark Guinness in Ireland to the hot spilled coffee this story moves across the miles at speed as the burnt out Scientist has to get back in the game to pick up where he left off before his much needed holiday. But on his first day back the Doctor knocks into another commuter hot coffee covers the Doc’s white shirt whilst he can’t stop thinking about her. Luck would have it she recognises him but luck is not on her side as he is her boss that hasn’t met her, yet!
A same day meeting, a same week cheeky unprotected session in a pub toilet (keeping it classy!), a misery of a prodigal sister (his), the return of her cheating ex-boyfriend and a positive pregnancy test seven weeks later keep you turning page after page.
Can the unexpected pregnancy be spun positively for either of them; maybe getting him on the Board of Directors but they’ll have to survive living together, random acts of sex ad all the trials and tribulations of pregnancy first all whilst pretending to be married to each other.
It’s a mixed cast of characters from the beautiful mains to the supporting few including the bulldog PA, the creepy Team Leader, the loving best friend and of course the lying cheating ex-boyfriend. They are play their parts well and flesh out the story perfectly.
I loved this book but you should read it and make up your own mind

I enjoyed getting to know Duke and Rose. Although at times I felt that Rose needed to step up for herself, Duke appeared to be pretty coldhearted. She spills coffee on Duke. At the time she didn’t know he was her new boss. They meet and work and have great chemistry, she sleeps with him and ends up pregnant. They have a “fake marriage” so that he can gain a position at a museum. They are definitely two stubborn people who are afraid to admit they love each other. Definitely recommend if you like hot daddy romances.
