***4.5 ‘Team Cassie’ Stars***
And we have another sweet, smexy and fun read about our favorite billionaire (nerdy) bad boys and the women who bring them to their knees!
Cassie appears to be a princess who was raised with a silver spoon in her mouth, but not all is as it seems and what’s underneath is more than anyone could expect. I absolutely adored Cassie! Yes, the girl was raised with money, but she isn’t the spoiled brat that most would assume. She’s a hard worker, has integrity in spades and appreciates what she has been given. She isn’t a wallflower or doormat and I loved how she stuck up for herself as well as humbled herself when the situation called for it.
Derek grew up being told he wasn’t good enough because of what his parents did for a living, so he set out to prove that he was more than just the status unto which he was born and through hard work he proved it a billion times over. I loved Derek, I did, but damn the man can hold a grudge. One issue I absolutely backed him on. The other, not so much because hormones and wounded pride got in the way. Thankfully he works through them and I loved seeing the sweet, considerate and oh so smexy man he is.
I must be honest and say that what I loved most about Cassie and Derek’s courtship was how many times Cassie ended up handing Derek his ass by showing him that he was wrong about her in so many ways. But through these little blunders they start to truly get to know each other and it’s a fun and smexy process, holy hell is it smexy. They have a few hurdles to cross and I liked how it brought them closer together and made them solid as a couple.
As with the previous books in the series, I couldn’t put this one down. The writing is engaging and draws you in making you need to know what will happen next and how the MC’s will deal with the changes coming at them. But as much as I enjoyed Derek and Cassie’s journey, my focus is starting to settle on the next book and just what kind of roller coaster Kendall and Julian will be on as they work towards their own HEA.
