This is the first book I have read from this author and it definitely won’t be the last. I loved Jax and Stevie from the second I met them. Individually they were great people and together a fabulous couple. Even though Stevie is several years younger than Jax she never came across as too young or whiny. She definitely held her own with Jax and considering he was a very successful man who owned several hotels that is saying something. Jax helped Stevie get a job with his company, a higher position than what she originally had, and even though Stevie felt she was unqualified for the position she actually did a great job and held her own.
Even though Stevie didn’t feel like an equal with Jax they actually had a lot in common namely their pasts. They both came from difficult family backgrounds which seemed to follow them into their relationship. I liked how even though it started to cause a little trouble between them they didn’t let it keep them apart. I loved the epilogue and it was actually a perfect ending for this couple. Glad it ended the way it did.

About the author
forbidden fruit
3½ StarsListen, I teetered with the book. On one hand, it's a fantastic story. On the other, well, I had a couple of issues. Read on for my thoughts...The story over all is fantastic. I devoured it. Who doesn't love a boss/employee romance. That whole forbidden fruit fantasy is always a treat to read. From their first meet, to their first "date", to the rollercoaster this book takes you on, I really enjoyed this story from the start.Where it all went a little sideways for me was the characters. Usually, if I don't like the characters, I have a hard time with the overall book. Fortunately for me, the characters didn't completely ruin it for me. I did not like Stevie. Not. At. All. Even for her age, she was immature and all over the place. She gave me whiplash with her flip-flopping personality. I kind of liked Jackson. I didn't dislike him. I just felt for his age, there were times where he seemed to be a little too immature himself.Even without my seal of approval on the characters separately, they worked together. Things do fall in place. The world is righted, even in the ups and downs these characters have. Their relationship eventually won me over. I just think I would have loved this book had Stevie's character had a better hold on who she is.
