3.0

⭐⭐⭐ 3.5 STARS ⭐⭐⭐

It was my first read by Brenda Rothert and I was a little disappointing by it. Don't get me wrong, I liked it, but I felt it was too rushed that I had difficulty to really connect with the story. I loved the potential of the novel when I first read the blurb and I was at least 40% in when I finally became engaged in the story.

Andrew is a serious and private rich man who doesn't have time for relationship. He only sleeps with women that are selected by his assistant and nothing more. Following an event in his past, he has difficulty to trust and connect with people. The arrival of Quinn in his life is a life changing moment. I like the connection I felt right away between these two broken persons. They recognized something in the other; Quinn is guarded too. Being responsible for her younger sister and living in the streets, it was understandable the way she was confused with her arrangement with Andrew. While she's not a hooker, she feels she need the money promised to help have a better situation with her sister.

I really liked the way Andrew handled their agreement, being really patient with her and making her comfortable with him before going on the next level. He really treated it as if it was a real relationship. The slow built of their romance was beautiful. There was a little mystery and suspense too, with the unexplained reason that brought her to New York to become a homeless young woman. It kept me guessing all book long.

While there was some points I liked less about this book, it was still a good novel and not my last read by Brenda Rothert.
