A young graduate. A ruthless CEO. And an attraction neither of them was prepared for.
Somehow I got an interview at Downtown, the “It” company of the decade.
Sure, I’d heard the rumors about the CEO, Rafe Black. How elusive he was. How rich. How hot.
None of it prepared me for what was about to happen. The white-hot lust at first sight. The attraction that wasn’t just mutual but obsessive, … The attraction that wasn’t just mutual but obsessive, life-changing and enough to test the limits of what I could handle …
XOXO I Love You is the first book in the I Love You series. If you like fun, sexy romance starring obsessed alphas, you’ll love Julie Capulet’s page-turning book.
*This book is the first of a two-part series and ends in a cliffhanger. The second book, XOXX I Love You More is now available.

Well, it was a nice “romance” sort of but they kind of jumped the gun and started a high intensity sensual relationship almost immediately upon first meeting. The story had a bit of a fairy tale quality to it, so, no, it was not really a believable romance in terms of every day life. There were moments of angst and some family drama. Due to the intensity of the relationship between the main male and female characters, there was little room for the development of supporting characters. All this being said, this was still an engaging read and is only part one of two. So off to book number two of two.
Title: XOXO I Love You
Series: I Love You 1#
Author: Julie Capulet
Published May 2019
Lexi Blondeau, fresh from college, in new town (LA) with a new look that her bff helper with. Lexi is granted by pure miracle, interview for a dream job with the one & only CEO Rafe Black to be his assistant. Let just say this one in life opportunities… it’s a company every graduate on the planet would sell their soul to work for.
Make things more interesting is that CEO Rafe Black is giving Lexi the interview himself
Rafe Black is famous for so many things for his reclusiveness & also his ruthlessness when it comes to business. He also not known to be very good with relationships. Some say he can also be a total asshat
Funny thing is both Lexi & Raf have this instant connection. I’m talking world wind whiplash connection
Lexi is addicted to Rafe
Rafe is so obsessed with Lexi
As Rafe intense lust & a white-hot obsession for Lexi turn to down right over powering desperation & unbearable jealousy reaches fever-pitch, it only drives Lexi away … literally into the arms of another man…
It will be interesting find how Lexi & Rafe story turn out since he is so very domineering & she so independent
I most forewarn you this very steamy read & you need to read between the lines to get to know these two
First book I have had the opportunity to read from Julie Capulet, & trust me this will not be my last… I need to see what happens with these two
Hope you enjoy this read & also always keep in mind this is just my opinion Also I wouldn’t discourage anyone from reading it.

Paulette Review
This is my first time reading anything from this author, and I am definitely going to be reading more in the future.
This is the story of Rafe, and Lexi, Lexi is a recent college graduate, and she applies for a job with Rafe’s company. When the interview brings them face to face, the attraction is instant, and the chemistry off the chart. They fall into bed immediately, and Rafe’s obsession with Lexi grows. The book is hot, lots of sexy scenes, passionate, and intense, and emotional. This is the first book in a duet, and I look forward to reading the second.

Love or obsession?
4.5
First part
I was quite surprised by this story. Everything starts on an instalove, but in a few pages, we discover a male character with sexual behavior both fiery and dominant, making the heroine of innocent to fully submissive. The limits between loving, belonging and losing oneself in the other are mixed up as the story unfolds. Now, in a more or less clumsy way, the two heroes want to want the other to belong to him, which seems not very healthy.
Lexi spends an interview for a fashion magazine just after graduation, but meets directly with boss Rafe Black. then everything goes very fast and Lexi can not help thinking that all this is too good to be true. Their relationship is fiery, torrid in the space of a few hours, without them really knowing each other.

This is my first time reading this author, this is book 1 of a duet and so it ends on a cliffhanger. The two main characters, Lexi and Rafe have such intense chemistry from the get-go. There is a lot, and I mean a lot of steamy scenes in this book as Rafe is obsessed with Lexi and can’t handle being away from her. There are some natural issues they need to sort out having just met and dived headfirst into such a deep relationship. Rafe isn’t used to dating and he has no idea how to go slow and is overwhelming to Lexi.

Loved the book it was great the story was well written and the characters were interesting. Lexi is going for an interview her dream job, the owner Rafe is doing the interview, the chemistry between these two are off the charts. Rafe is also obsessive.
Thank you for allowing me to review this book it was great.

I would recommend this to anyone who wants a hot read. It’s Insta everything to the point of Rafe locking Lexi up. The poor guy was overly obsessive, something he’s never encountered before. Lexi goes from innocent to nympho in matter of a few minutes in her initial interview. There’s wasn’t a lot of substance in this more lust. To me it was OTT, which may appeal to some.

OMG! This book is explosive in chemistry with these characters. A page turner that I could not put down, read this in one day and cannot wait to read the conclusion to this series. Rafe and Lexi are instantly attracted to each other, but both have history with abuse and neglect. Hopefully, these two can work past all these issues and end up together.

Wow! I thoroughly enjoyed that book, i couldn’t put it down. I’m not usually into insta-love but I love thus one. I felt the chemistry and obsession. I couldn’t get enough of their sensual intimate sex scenes. They were so HOT!! And that cliffhanger is something. I can’t wait to read what happens. I’m pulling for Rafe and Lexi!!
I’ll definitely read more from this author. Great read!
