Tristan Wilder, self-made millionaire and devastatingly handsome CEO of Wilder-Nation is on the verge of a very lucrative buyout. With tough negotiations ahead, he's armed with his acquisition pitch, ready to launch the deal of a lifetime. There’s just one glitch. The last thing he expects is to fall for the hot business owner he's trying to sway.
Dylan Reeves, computer science engineer and founder of the very successful social media site, Secret, is faced with a life-altering decision. A devoted family man with three kids and a wife, Dylan has been living a secret for years. Fiercely loyal to his convictions, his boundaries blur after meeting the striking owner of the corporation interested in acquiring his company. For the first time in his life, reckless desire consumes him when the gorgeous computer mogul makes an offer he can't refuse.
Well, it was a Kindle Alexander book and you probably know how much I love what these two ladies write. This time though, it took me a little bit longer to get into the book.
Dylan and his wife have sacrificed everything for their kids. While she has managed to have a relationship on the side and be happy, he has always refused.
Tristan is your typical playboy. He’s rich, he’s highly intelligent and good looking and he doesn’t have the time nor the inclination for relationships.
Everything changes for these two men when they meet each other.
In my opinion, everything concerning their relationship sounded forced. It all happens too fast and in the span of a couple of days. I understand attraction but there were other things here that should have made it harder, if not impossible, for the characters to reach that stage so soon.
Even for a newbie like Dylan it seems a little too far-fetched.
I have nothing against insta-love but I can’t say is my kind of thing either. It is the first time when I see it happening in one of Kindle’s books and, thus, my inability to feel any kind of connection with either Dylan or Tristan.
Usually, their stories are a lot more elaborate, more … real.
I guess I’m just used to their boys being a little bit less perfect, a little bit more rough around the edges. And definitely less insecure.
I like to see them work for what they want and struggle to obtain it.
What I’m trying to say is that, this time around, I didn’t feel anything. Unlike her other books where I cried and laughed right along with the characters. There’s a scene in The Current Between Us that makes me tear up even after reading it so many times.
This novel lacked that spark, that “something” that pulls you right in and keeps your glued to the book until the last page.
Even so, I still recommend Secret. It’s an easy read, perfect if you want something sweet to take your mind off your daily issues.
It should definitely join the list of books you’re planning to take with you during your summer holiday.
Happy Reading!!
Best Selling Author Kindle Alexander is an innovative writer, and a genre-crosser who writes classic fantasy, romance, suspense, and erotica in both the male/male and male/female genres. It's always a surprise to see what's coming next!
I live in the suburbs of Dallas where it's true, the only thing bigger than an over active imagination, may be women's hair!
Usually, I try for funny. Humor is a major part of my life - I love to laugh, and it seems to be the thing I do in most situations - regardless of the situation, but jokes are a tricky deal... I don't want to offend anyone and jokes tend to offend. So instead I'm going to tell you about Kindle.
I tragically lost my sixteen year old daughter to a drunk driver. She had just been at home, it was early in the night and I heard the accident happen. I'll never forget that moment. The sirens were immediate and something inside me just knew. I left my house, drove straight to the accident on nothing more than instinct. I got to be there when my little girl died - weirdly, I consider that a true gift from above. She didn't have to be alone.
That time in my life was terrible. It's everything you think it would be times about a billion. I love that kid. I loved being her mother and I loved watching her grow into this incredibly beautiful person, both inside and out. She was such a gift to me. To have it all ripped away so suddenly broke me.
Her name was Kindle. Honest to goodness - it was her name and she died a few weeks before Amazon released their brand new Kindle ereader. She had no idea it was coming out and she would have finally gotten her name on something! Try finding a ruler with the name Kindle on it.. It never happened.
Through the course of that crippling event I was lucky enough to begin to write with a dear friend in the fan fiction world of Facebook. She got me through those dark days with her unwavering support and friendship. There wasn't a time she wasn't there for me. Sometimes together and sometimes by myself, we built a world where Kindle lives and stands for peace, love and harmony. It's its own kind of support group. I know without question I wouldn't be here today without her.
