There is a big gap in the story in that there’s no explanation of how and why they eventually got together。 The simple “I love you” really doesn’t do it since we never read anything about any kind of personal relationship。 However, the book is still a good read if you’re not a stickler for the details。 I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more

Unexpected Surprise。 This book was interesting。 I enjoyed the book but was a little surprised at the ending of the book。 I felt the ending was rushed。 So much time was spent on the sex scenes and the scenes about William and April's arguments that it didn't leave much time for the climax of William being blackmailed and getting back at Charlotte's father and brother。 I was looking forward to some type of revenge。 The book was good!

good story。 It was a good story line and I enjoyed the characters。 I felt like a lot of things came out of no where and there wasn’t much build up for the big scenes at all。

This was a great read that was interesting and well developed。 The chemistry and interaction between the characters is outstanding。 I was absolutely hooked right from the beginning to the end。
Debbie,
Okay, so from all the reviews and the book description, you've got the basic outline。 I don't do spoilers, but here's my take。 April has way, way more tolerance than I would。 I would've told boss man bully to take a long walk on a short pier。 I mean really? I know April has it bad for William, but yeah, no, not happening。 Then he wants to keep things professional, but berates her and humiliates her in front of coworkers? Yep, once a bully。。。。。 But, I'll give her a 10 for stamina。 It was a wonder Okay, so from all the reviews and the book description, you've got the basic outline。 I don't do spoilers, but here's my take。 April has way, way more tolerance than I would。 I would've told boss man bully to take a long walk on a short pier。 I mean really?

FANCHON,
A whole lot of feelings This one had me all over the place。 April has been best Friends with Heather most of her life, and Heather‘s older brother William bullied them both relentlessly。 William hung around with a crew of bullies, and basically made their lives miserable。 April wound up studying abroad, and moving back for a new job。 Unbeknownst to her, her boss is William。 Their first interaction is at a company Halloween costume party, where they hook up without realizing who the other person A whole lot of feelings This one had me all over the place。 April has been best Friends with Heather most of her life, and Heather‘s older brother William bullied them both relentlessly。 William hung around with a crew of bullies, and basically made their lives miserable。 April wound up studying abroad, and moving back for a new job。 Unbeknownst to her, her boss is William。 Their first interaction is at a company Halloween costume party, where they hook up without realizing who the other person is。 She figures it out as she is sneaking out afterwards, when she sees the photographs he has of his family。 William is basically a jerk to everyone, and he is no different to April。 While she was hired for the marketing department, somehow she is also expected to be his interim assistant as he keeps chasing them off。 Honestly that part was a little bit annoying because he kept treating her like trash and kept telling her her job was to be his shadow。 He kept saying it was her job and that she was failing at it, but that was not actually what she was hired for。 He publicly ripped into her when she stopped at the IT department to get her email account fixed, for daring to step away from his side。 I actually had to put the book down and move on to another book, because it did not seem remotely feasible that someone that had been so mercilessly bullied by someone both as a child and currently as an adult would also swoon and flirt or kiss him so easily。 The entire premise seemed completely implausible to me。 At least not without him doing some major work to show he’s not a jerk and deserves her。 But I digress。 Eventually I picked it back up and continued reading。 There’s a ton of back-and-forth, hot and cold, and all kinds of drama。 I actually enjoyed it more than I thought I was going to initially, but I was disappointed with the abrupt ending。 A simple “I love you April “and “I love you too William “ and that’s it。 Nothing about how they work their relationship out, or anything at all about them actually being in a relationship at this point, or how about the pregnancy at all? It all seemed a little anti-climactic。 。。。more

everything and anythingA dress up Halloween party is the meeting for the first time。。new job and new assistant to the man she met there。 Best friend is his sister and she had not recognised him。 Secret affair。 Attempts to keep things professional, but there is an unplanned pregnancy and seems baby daddy is involved with someone else。 Ups and downs, romance and business deals。 Where is the relationship actually going?
Dianne M。,
I liked the BFF devotion of Heather and April。 I didn't like the way William treated April。 There was nothing there beyond off the chart sexual chemistry。 Overall, I thought William was a "jerk" and April was a fool for putting up with him and his changing moods。 Heather was wild, but she was the only sincere character。 I liked the BFF devotion of Heather and April。 I didn't like the way William treated April。 There was nothing there beyond off the chart sexual chemistry。 Overall, I thought William was a "jerk" and April was a fool for putting up with him and his changing moods。 Heather was wild, but she was the only sincere character。 。。。more

Oh how this story kept me hooked。 April returns to the states for a new job。 She meets an amazing man at a Halloween party only to discover it was her childhood best friends brother, who used to torture her。 The moment William remembers her he does nothing but keeps her close。 His moods gave me whiplash right along with April。 I wanted to smack him and yell at him so many times。 Lots of drama, heartache and of course love。 Such a great captivating story。 Well done Miss Faye!

Lisa Engle,
Overall I enjoyed this book。 There was some character development although I did a little confused on the timeline, if it flowed as over several months as I believe it did then there was some growth for both the H and h。 There is some bully aspects but I felt like they naturally resolved overtime as the H character grew。I received and ARC copy from the author for my honest review。

It's a great concept and for most of the book, it's clever and really cute。 But the bottom falls out when William becomes a cardboard character,TSTL。 He seduces her when no one's around, but belittles her in front of her co-workers。 He runs hot and cold, never really giving any concern to how she feels。 One of my most hated story lines is a "fake relationship with another woman while the girlfriend has to watch。" This one was poorly executed because William seems to care more for Charlotte than for his April。 In fact, knowing the scandal was going to break, he doesn't take the time to go everywhere to find April to warn her; no, he thinks he'll handle it tomorrow。 As I said, TSTL! They don't really have a happy ending because we don't see it。 It's a matter of "You love me?" "Yes! I love you!" Sweet! The end。 It could have been so much better。 。。。more

April was too reckless for me to like her。 She made bad and worse decisions all the way through。 And as for the sister getting to dictate who a grown up woman can date or love, that goes out the window once those teen years are over。 If their adult friendship is based on dictating the other person’s life, then that is not a healthy relationship。 So will April get her HEA with William?
