When unrequited love gets a makeover, all bets are off. Miranda Gray has loved Lucas Knight for what seems like forever. Problem is, he barely gives her the time of day. Plus, she’s a long way from the glamourous women constantly parading in and out of his life. If only she could find a way to make him notice her … Lucas knows what he wants from life, and it doesn’t include getting tangled up … he wants from life, and it doesn’t include getting tangled up in anything resembling a relationship. Particularly with the boss’s daughter. She’s a forever type of girl; he’s more your “please leave before breakfast” kind of guy.
When they’re forced to work together on a project that’s far too close to his old life for comfort, Miranda starts to see that whilst she might have had a fledgling love for Lucas, real love is something else entirely.
Sparks are flying, but neither are ready to own up to the truth. Can working together bring love back to Lucas’s life? Or will he break Miranda’s heart forever?

Can working together end in a relationship. See if it will

Miranda has been in love with Lucas for years. A few issues stand between them: (1) he’s eight years older; (2) he works for her father, and so does she; (3) she’s a virgin; and (4) he has secrets. He joined her father’s firm as an intern, and is poised to become the CEO as Brian begins to spend less time at work leading up to his eventual retirement. Lucas doesn’t do relationships, and he tries to avoid Miranda; he doesn’t think he’s good enough for her, and he can’t give her the forever that she deserves. This was a wonderful book. I enjoyed seeing the transformation in both of the main characters – how Miranda matured when she became romantically involved with Lucas, and the man he became when he finally faced his past.

I loved this book. It was more realistic than a lot of the romances out there. I love the depth of character and the time spent on developing. I appreciate that more relationships are given time in this book, not just the main love event. Put together on a love story, I appreciate the fears, family, and work spotlights that are featured. I loo forward to reading more from this author.

Miranda has had her eyes on Lucas for awhile. Having to work closely with him at her dads firm adds to the thrill of chasing him. When the two give in to temptation, he runs at the fear of commitment. He grew up in abusive home and spent time in a shelter. Now as an adult, he doesn’t want to think of his past and thinks he is no good for Miranda. He hides himself in work and has created a strong work ethic that Miranda’s dad is offering him acting CEO when he steps down. When things heat up, he wants to walk away but with the help of Tom his mentor, he talks Lucas into believing in himself and giving love a chance.

Miranda is the boss’ daughter, and has a crush on Lucas, however, he has a rough past, and his work ethics do not give him a chance of a relationship. This is a good story which had me intrigued throughout and I recommend for all.
3 1/2*
Lucas works for Brian, Miranda’s father who is about to retire leaving him in charge.
Miranda has loved Lucas since she was 15 and he helped her out.
When Brian requested they work together on a project they both have different reactions.
Miranda’s character really had you hoping she got what she wanted.
Lucas character had you wanting to give him a shake.
Jay’s character had you wanting to buy the man a drink.
All in all a really nice read.

This was the first book I’ve read by this author and I really enjoyed it! Fast paced, tension filled, funny, frustrating at times, it has a bit of everything you want from a romantic story. Do you at times want to shake Lucas and say “really?!” Yes, you do but you can’t help but love him too.
Lucas thinks he’s undeserving of love, Miranda has loved him from the beginning. Will she be able to make him see he’s worth it?
This was a really sweet fun romance. This is Miranda and Lucas story he works for her father and she has always had feelings for him but he does not seem to notice her that is until they have to work together, the attraction between them soon grows but will he act on his feelings.
Fighting for the attention of Lucas, Miranda has always felt invisible. Is he as immune to her charms as she thinks, or is he too focused on his career at Miranda’s father’s architectural firm? Fun, fresh and romantic, this book is a gorgeous, stylish read that looks at true love behind the glossy shell. A charming debut novel with all the feels and a super swoony ending.
Just a good book that draws you end and hate to see it end
Unrealistic.
Lucas and Miranda will have you falling for them from the first word to the last. One is head over heels for other and one thinks they aren’t good enough. When they have to work together will things get better or will they get worse? Amazing emotional read of up and downs ,with a few twist to make you want more. Can’t wait to read more from this author
