A life where I could follow my … where I could follow my dream of becoming a designer.

I received this ARC from the author.
Book 1 ended on a cliffhanger so I am extremely grateful for having gotten to not have to wait all the way until its release date.
This was a fantastic read!!! I read it in one sitting, from night until 2 am. It’s such an addictive read. The characters draw you in.
I said in book 1 that my favorite thing was the slow burn between the characters and how there was no rushed romance. In fact, in book 1, there was no actual romance between the characters beyond attraction. This wonderful feature rolls over into this one and there is no physical action between them until midway through. Before this point they stick to attraction and major jealousy. Mainly on his part when she’s on a date, but also on her side when she spots women chatting with him. These two are just so swoony and stomach twisting! I can go on and on about the heat between these two. You just pull for them for the entire first half of the book, and even in the second when we’re in this limbo time. Oh, and the sex scenes…Whew *fans self* Wow, this author can create a scene for sure!
The Assignment started out with two brothers, Ford and Owen, who took an assignment to be bodyguards to two socialite sisters. Ford, our one main character is saddled with the troublemaker of the two, Cara, the other main character. They are protecting the sisters against threats that were written to the family. This issue gets resolved in this story, and in the way that I least expected. So I applaud the author for doing something I didn’t see coming. It does explain why the issue at hand never seemed to persist for long, or actually seem dangerous, especially in this one. I also love how the answer to this ties in with the craziness of Cara. Even with the main issue at hand, this series is continuing character development!
It ends with a HEA. Pretty much how I expected it to go down too; it couldn’t be resolved too quickly. Overall, it was a great story though and an even better duet. I preferred book 1 over this one, but this one is still 5 stars for me. I really need to check out more of this author now…!
Cara Dessoye will meet her match in The Assignment, and her life will forever change in The Score. Ford needs a way to make Cara realize that she needs to change and realize that her actions has consequences and that her decisions have an effect on her family as well as herself. Even her sister Emily is worried about her and has made a decision that will affect everyone in her family. Has she gone too far or has her decision made her family see the light?
Ford Massey is still reeling from his sister’s death and the comparisons between Julia and Cara are driving him mad. He has to find a way to make Cara see that she is headed towards a life of destruction.
I loved this conclusion to Cara and Ford’s story. The fact that they were finally able to see that they were made for each other and that their lives could be much better with each other in it. The secrets that they are each harboring will be shared between them and they will find their way to move on with their lives. Cara found her way back to living her life. She was able to follow her dream and make it come true. Even though Cara made Ford share his secret and Ford forced Cara’s secret out of her, their sharing helps their healing.Cara and Ford are great together, the fact they don’t take anything from the other and the sassiness of Cara make their connection much better.
I give this story a 5-star review and highly recommend it to readers who like sassy women, Alpha males, and suspenseful stories with a twist. I really hope there will be a story for Emily and Owen because there are some unanswered questions about them and their relationship.
Settle the Score
The second instalment of Cara and Ford picks up right where the first book finished! I’m not going to say how as it’s all part of the mystery that will soon be revealed, but if you haven’t already read the assignment I’d recommend doing so and then getting stuck into this book as well
Cara and Ford aren’t the only ones in this story getting their romance on. Secrets are revealed and some astonishing developments I didn’t see coming
A really great, quick paced story that will leave you wanting more I received an advanced copy and I voluntarily leave my honest review!
