Ophelia Lang needs money, and she needs it bad. Her parent’s restaurant is going under, and ever since she lost her job teaching third grade elementary, scraping enough cash together to pay the bills has proven almost impossible. Her parents are on the brink of losing their home. The vultures are circling overhead. So when Ophelia is offered an interview for a well-paid private tutoring gig in New York, how can she possibly say no?

Ronan Fletcher is far from the overweight, balding businessman Ophelia expected him to be. He’s young, handsome, and wealthy beyond all reason. He’s also perhaps the coldest, rudest person she’s ever met, and has a mean streak in him a mile and a half wide. A hundred grand is a lot of money, however, and if tolerating his frosty temperament, his erratic mood swings and whatever else he throws at her means she’ll get paid, then that is what Ophelia will do.

Her new boss is keeping secrets, though. Awful, terrible secrets.

The ghosts of Ronan Fletcher’s past are about to turn Ophelia’s future upside down, and she can’t even see it coming.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book had me shook from the start! I’ve never, in alllllll my romance reading, ever encountered an opening so traumatic and disturbing as this one! I was thinking “what is this author doing?!?!?” But as the story progressed, it all made more sense.

I thought Ophelia was such an interesting character. She was on one path, mind made up about what she was going to do with her life. But over the course of the read, she really seemed to find her own way. Of course there were outside influences, but she did find her own footing and went after what she wanted and not what she thought was best for everyone else.

Sully was the epitome of a miserable, closed off, grumpy hero and I adored him! More and more of his true personality came out as he spent more time with Ophelia and was subjected to her sass and nosiness. They were polar opposites but absolutely worked!

I’ll still never be okay with Ronan’s situation. I felt like I didn’t get enough of a concrete reason for his decisions.

The very end of the read felt rushed. I didn’t expect it to end so abruptly. The epilogue really helped feel more of a sense of completion. I wished the author would have extended the main story a bit longer to help flush out more of the relationship aspect of the story and get some closure for the children.
