Basically a good book, but the central characters conflict is exhausting in length and the graphic sexual content is uncomfortable as well as the dirty sexual language. There is much to like, but I'd have to say it's not something I'd hand to young readers - definitely mature - I read both books in the series - did like the ending!

FROM AMAZON: Men suck.

They break you. Leave you. Take everything until there's nothing left. And frankly, I'm done allowing them to make me feel insignificant. So, forget men. I'll just throw myself into my job, because at least that never fails me.

Jackson has other plans, though. I refuse to be impressed by his perfect body, the cute dimple on his cheek, or the rugged stubble on his face. Jackson Cole can be resisted.

But, I'm only fooling myself.

He's going to wear me down. I can feel it. In the end he'll prove that once again, I'm no one's beloved. ( )

5 stars. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! The damn ending!!!

Where, oh where do I begin with this one? Beloved is Corinne Michaels debut novel and she did an amazing job! I found it to be well written and exciting and at times frustrating...lol

Catherine Pope's world has just come crashing down. Just when she thought she has it all, her world is turned completely upside down. Her fiance has done the worst thing possible and Catherine walks away. Her heart broken yet again. Leaving her to feel like she will never be loved by anyone. First her father walks out of her life, never to be heard from again and then when she finds the one man to commit to he steps all over her heart too. Catherine builds walls up around her heart, stronger than ever, vowing to not let anyone in.

When a unexpected meeting with a gorgeous man in a restaurant, has her falling in his lap, she does a double take. Never expecting to see him again, she passes it off. When they meet again on the train, she is beginning to think, that maybe he is following her...lol. When her job requires her to pitch a new marketing plan to a cosmetic company, she is once again face to face with her ex and his new partner. What she didn't count on was Jackson Cole, aka, restaurant and train man to be the owner she would ultimately be presenting too. When her marketing plan in compromised, she must pull out all the stops to win. And win she does.

What Catherine cannot understand is this unbelievable pull that she feels to Jackson and he feels the same for her, from the very first time she fell in his lap. But can she let someone in again? Or are he walls just to strong to break? Slowly Jackson finds a way past those walls. But can they have a relationship outside of their business contract? Will Catherine ever feel like she is enough or will she be left with a damaged heart yet again?

Awesome debut novel, filled with plenty of steamy moments, some heartbreak, awesome friends, betrayal, back stabbing and a damn cliffy!!!!! I cannot wait for the next book. I nearly threw my kindle across the room. 5 Awesome Stars! ( )

I hate cliffhanger endings. ( )
