I like the series
Love Katy and Damon’s book even though it had me in tears for all the hardship Katy went through. Love how Damon fell for her and how he treated Katy and her daughter.
Loved this book and the fun throughout the story
Katy and Bee have been living rough for years. They spend some of that in shelters and model homes. My heart broke for them, but they are strong, honest and flexible and willing to keep doing this until they have money saved to rent. Damon overhears their conversations on a surveillance recording and decides to help them in any way he can.
Katy gets a job as his PA and is brilliant at her job. There time spent together leads to romance. Bee grows and flourishes with the love of the Christakos family now in her life.
A great story about Katy. The hardships she had as a teenager and how she struggles with a new baby in spite of everything. After 8 years and jumping from one model home to the next and cleaning up afterwards, she finally catches the eye of Damon, owner of the new houses. She’s afraid he’ll find out her secret and she’ll lose her child. But he gives her a job as his assistant and she finally has hope. A great family is her salvation. Loved this book. HEA
When Damon first saw Katy he was very protective of her and her daughter. Katy has a huge chip on her shoulder and doesn’t let anyone get close. She has been on her own raising her daughter for close to nine years. Will she be able too put aside her issue and learn to trust Damon? Will Damon’s secret tear them apart before they even get started? I love this entire crazy bunch, and really enjoyed this book.
Great
This is gets Damon the oldest of the boys and who works with Pops. Katy has been on her own with her daughter Bee since she was 6 months pregnant. But when changed a for her daughter the job with Damon. I enjoyed this go on e.
WOW!! Best in series thus far! Adorable daughter , sexy couple …. book sold! Addicted to the series with great respect for authors phenomenal abilities with witty authentic character conversations! Danielle could be a mash up of Sylvia Day meets Jill Shalvis & Lori Foster !
Great read! I want to be adopted by this family. This book of the series was a little more of an automatic happily ever after fairy tale. The drama gets fixed right away.
This is the third book in the Iron Orchids series by Danielle Norman. It was just as fun, sweet, and entertaining as first and second books. This one is all about the relationship between Damon, the oldest of the Christakos clan, and Katy. Katy has had a rough life, and that’s putting more than a polite face on it. She is an amazing woman. When Damon finds out she and her daughter, Bee, are squatters at one of his construction homes he becomes obsessed with them. Not in a creepy way, but in a protective way. As the story unfolds and they become closer both are trying to figure out how to tell the other their secret. That’s not the only drama in this story, though. Nope. When I think about it, it’s horrifying, but fortunately, as in the other books in the Iron Orchids series, the drama is there but is resolved quickly. This is an entertaining series, for sure!
I had mixed emotions after reading this one. I enjoyed the original plot with Katy as not only a single mom but also homeless. Damon on the other hand was a great guy but just lacked background, why do I like him, why does he do what he does. We finally get more insight much too late in the book. Bee is delightful. Still a great read. Intense, sexy and sweet.
Once I read the first book I had to have the rest. I’ve never been interested in reading police stories. But she had me on the edge of my seat, Great read, I highly recommend.

(Dual POVs)
*Spoilers*
Katy is a single mother to Bee, whom she gave birth to at 17. Katy’s parents kicked her out after she refused to have an abortion and she’s been living on her own ever since. Not for lack of trying, Katy is unable to provide a stable, safe home for Bee, so at night, they sneak into model homes to rest.
Damon is on site at one of the model homes built by his family’s construction company. A few children’s items are found inside the home, which intrigues Damon enough to put up cameras in the entry ways of the model home. He sees Katy and her daughter Bee on the security footage and instantly becomes protective of them.
After seeing a note implying that Christakos Construction might be in need of a new secretary, Katy calls to interview for the job. Damon, knowing that Katy is the mother sneaking into the model home, gives her the job.
Overall, nice read. Katy worked her butt of to do everything she could for her daughter. Damon is another Christakos man that is protective, sweet and providing.
Favorite quotes:
I only had romance books to go on when it came to protocol. In them, it always seemed that the assistant and the boss had wild office sex before declaring their undying love, but I seriously doubted that was the standard I should hold myself to. – Katy pg 40
”Real men will break her bed but never her heart.” – Pops pg 239
I enjoyed reading this read. It was great for the main man was protective of the single mom and her daughter. Also how his family connected with them.
I’m really enjoying this series. Impact was full of twists and turns.
This was an interesting storyline. I enjoyed the book.
A lesson in seeing the other side of the coin!
This is the third book in the Iron Orchids series. Damon is the oldest Christakos son and has partnered with his dad in the family construction business. Katy has been hiding out with her daughter in one of the model homes that Christakos construction uses, shes doing her best to make sure her daughter has somewhere to stay each night, that isn’t a shelter, and is trying to save money for a proper apartment. When Damon finds out that someone has been staying in the model home he sets up cameras to find out what is going on, and finds himself charmed by the hard working woman and her daughter. He comes up with a plan to help the woman get a better job – at his company – and a place to stay – house sitting his brothers house. All goes well till Katy finds out that Damon knew they had been in the house, and that he knows her parents.
Another great book for the series. So much family and love, but so much friendship and laughs as well. I love how the girls just bond together and help each other through it all.
I was unsure about Impact as I loved the first 2 in the series so much. Each one of her heroines is different. Danielle does not write cookie cutter romance. She still delivers every time with humor and vibrating emotion. The stories feel as real as they are steamy. Love her books.
This was a great addition to this series. Katy will do what she needs to get a home for her and her daughter Bee. What she doesn’t expect is Damon finding her daughter’s sock left in on of the houses. Damon wants to find out who was squatting in his new construction. What he finds intrigues him. He wants to be apart of their life. Will Katy be able to accept what Damon can offer them? Will thete be too many obstacles in their way?
This was a great read. I look forward to more from this author.
