I was drawn to him the moment I saw him. I couldn't keep away, and I didn't want to. That knowing, confident smile...those beautiful pale blue eyes...and those dimples....simply delicious. Who could resist such a beautiful strong man?

Hope York transformed her boring self into flawless beauty on the outside. But inside, she never changed. Kennedy Jenner was a successful, wealthy and jaw dropping handsome man that could have whatever he wanted, on his own terms. And he wanted Hope. But would he still want her after he saw her for who she really was, instead of what she carefully planned for everyone to see? And will his own secret past stand in his way for getting what he really wants?

Sex, secrets and dominance, with a little love story in between.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another enjoyable Vi Keeland romance
Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2016

I'm so glad I discovered this author. Her writing style appeals to me, so I automatically pre-order new titles. Kennedy and Hope are an appealing couple. She is brave and likeable and he is a true alpha male. I love how he was so protective of her and territorial, without being overbearing. It takes a while for readers to learn why Hope felt she had to reinvent herself. When you learn her history, you feel compassion for her family situation. With her dad being loving and protective, it's kind of amazing he couldn't figure out what was going on. But then, sometimes men can be clueless. Kennedy's past history has a tragic element, too, and you can see how that past colored his interactions with Hope. The ending was very satisfying. I stayed up late finishing this one!

P.S. Another reviewer mentioned discontent because of typos. Yes, there were typos. I always notice them since I was a teacher and am very aware of grammar and spelling, but, for me, the typos didn't detract from the story.

It was an unexpected pleasure to read this book. It was a quick, easy read with not too much angst. I enjoyed reading about Hope and Kennedy's journey. Two people find one another though coming from very different worlds. Hope is sweet and funny but, is insecure and has low self esteem. Kennedy is rich, controlling ( not too much) has a nice sense of humor but, has years of guilt that he can't get rid of.
I almost didn't want their story to end. Thanks for a beautifully written love story that left a smile on my face :) I would definitely recommend this book.

Love this story!! Kennedy & Hope are perfect together!! He's rich, hot & lonely, having kept everyone except family at a distance due to something from his past. She's beautiful,smart and funny but insecure having lost her mom at a young age and being verbally abused by her step-monster ( mom). Together they find love,happiness and hot,hot romance. Great secondary characters who would make a great story of their own. Great story lines,great characters, steamy sexy moments, easy fun read, what more could u want from a book?? A sequel yea that's it!!

This was clearly an older book. Under 200 pages, no real plot. Read more like a novella. Nothing like her other books . it was ok. Not up to her standards now.

I really enjoyed this book from the first page to the very end. The story was sweet, the sex was steamy and the characters very likeable. Kennedy and Hope made a good pair, I like the honesty between them. If I could complain about anything it would be that there doesn't appear to be a sequel. There are plenty of places to go to further these and the supporting characters I would love to see. May-be the author will consider it, I hope so. But, I would recommend this book to anyone and will most likely read it again myself.

So, I'd say 3.5 to 4 stars! I liked the characters, I liked Hope's character. The "new" Hope I guess. The reference to old Hope and new Hope bugged me a very little bit.lol Hope had her insecurities from growing up under her step-monster/sisters and her mother's passing, but the "new" Hope I like, even though you really have nothing to compare it to, we don't get to see much of the old Hope, which I'm very glad about actually. Kennedy I really liked (I love the name Kennedy too by the way!!!). I felt a bit disconnected from him though for the first part of the book, like we just didn't get enough of him. Even though we had small bouts of his POV. I loved how much he wanted to protect Hope and was ready to have only her in his life. I had a feeling of trust from him right off the bat, so the one time she doubted him and ran, kind of hurt my feelings!! This story is much like some of the others, small variations, not that I'm opposed to it either to be honest, but in a shorter version. I like that sometimes, and this was one of those times. It was a fairly quick read, I did feel like I wanted more, but the story was told as it was and felt at the end, it was truly the end and I was ok with it. I haven't looked more into this author so I don't know what's next, but I'm thinking the end was leading up to an upcoming story about Shauna and Garrett, which would be great. :-) Oh, and by the way Shauna, Hopes BFF, LOVED her!

5.0 out of 5 stars really good romance and very sexy.
Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2013

I really enjoyed this book it got my attention from the beginning and just couldn't put it down. What I liked the most is that Kennedy was a very normal guy, yes he is rich and sexy and protective but not excessively dominant like other novels where the male protagonist ends up boring you whit his negative attitude and trauma from the past. I also liked that Hope accepted everything that comes whit the man, his past, his help, his money and gifts like any normal girl in her situation would do. This is not a Cinderella kind of novel, is about two people with different backgrounds that fall in love.

I love this story of Hope and Kennedy. You feel the pull between them right from the start. But will their secrets tear them apart or will they fight to be with each other? This is the first book of VI’s I read, many years ago, and had me hooked since!

4.0 out of 5 stars Will Love triumph?

Excitedly it is more than likely that Kennedy Jenner fell in love with Hope Marie York the first time he saw her. He is tall, dark and handsome, is wealthy and a successful businessman. She is a new events manager at the Monet Hotel in New York. They meet on her first day of work on reception. Kennedy is checking in and flirts with Hope. There is instant attraction. She has never met such a beautiful man.

On second asking Hope goes out with Kennedy and he takes her for an ice cream which he then watches her eat. He leaves her at her doorstep. She then receives a series of gifts from him but suffers some mental anguish when she goes days and sometimes weeks without seeing him or him making contact.

Visits to each others families cement their growing relationship but will they be exclusive to each or will pass girlfriends, secrets and difficulties prevent a successful conclusion. You can find out by reading this lovely story.

Not sure about this one. Very different from Vi's usual attention grabbing starts. VERY sweet.... Almost too predictable in storyline made it a challenge to continue to read. I generally enjoy Vi's other work which is normally of a high standard (including spelling) which made me wonder whether someone other than Vi wrote this! For a $6 purchase I had hoped for more.
