Infinite: A Carolina Beach Novel

This book is filled with all the feels and so much more. Hale is the known as the Anaconda of Wall Street but when the FBI suddenly storms his office and arrests him his world is thrown upside down. Becca is the PR powerhouse for the Carolina Cougars who brought the football team from the brink of destruction to practically do no wrong with the media but when she finds out Hale is in trouble she is on the next plane to New York to help. Ten years after "the incident" that broke them apart and all the near misses in the years in between cannot keep them apart. Hale and Becca were meant for each other from the beginning and working together to clear his name and restore his reputation brings them closer. Great characters and wonderful settings. This can be read as a standalone. **Received this ARC for review from the publisher via NetGalley**

Wow. Becca is an amazing, strong woman. Her family is shocking in their attitudes and behaviors especially towards her. After an incredibly horrendous confrontation, she pulls herself up and builds her own life away from them. But she also pushes away the one man she has ever truly loved, Hale. Hale is shocked when Becca chooses her family over him so he leaves to start his new life in New York. For years, these two build successful careers but remain apart. Then Hale’s world is shattered when he is accused of insider trading which brings Becca to his aide as an extremely accomplished PR person. As Becca works to rebuild Hale’s reputation, they find being close to each other again is a challenge. Will these two find a way to forgive each other? This is a rocky road they travel; will they find it’s easier to travel together? Or will they let past hurts keep them apart? I loved their group of friends and how they have built a unique family that supports each other no matter what. The chemistry Hale and Becca share is precious and electric.

***5 ‘The Shark’ Stars*** After finishing Eternal, well, in truth it was while reading Eternal, Hale and Becca’s relationship peaked my interest. There was so much tension between them that I NEEDED to know what their deal was, so when it was made known that Infinite would be their story I was all in and let me tell you I got everything I had hoped for and so much more. This one hit all the feels and when I say all, I mean All. Of. Them. in one form or another and it made it very difficult to put the book down and had me wanting more even when there were no more words to read. Hale. I adored the man. I did. At his very core he is an honorable and caring man. A good man. One who’d be there for those he calls his own when they needed him and whatever capacity, but...But, the man has a chip on his shoulder, one that is understandable to an extent, and it’s turned him into a man who tends to be at odds with his own heart and what it truly needs. Becca is a fighter and I adored her. This woman is all woman. From her strength of will to the vulnerabilities she hides away in the deepest recesses of her heart. She has moxie, is sassy, snarky and can throw down with the best of them, no matter the arena, and loves hard and deep. Becca and Hale’s journey was and wasn’t what I expected it to be and I enjoyed each moment as I got to know them and all that they had been through. Their road was rocky and filled with so many things left unsaid (for one reason or another) and assumptions that I expected things to be much more angsty, but I was pleasantly surprised with how they dealt with all of the issues between them. This isn’t to say there was no angst, but they acted not only like adults, but like people who had been friends and really wanted to reconnect. I loved their bantering and the flow that existed between them had me wanting to see them get the HEA they deserved. This one hooked me real quick and I had a difficult time putting it down. The first person dual POV was done well and I liked how all of the issues Becca and Hale faced were dealt with. There are a couple of things I wanted a little more of, but that’s more of a me thing than anything else. I loved spending time with Trin and Callahan, Trin is all kinds of wonderful, but Neesa, Mason and Sean totally took this book to the next level for me. I loved the energy they brought to the book ~ especially Sean. OMG Sean. Loved him, but man...lol ~ and simply enjoyed getting to know them. So, if you love second chance romances then this is a must read! ~ Copy provided via NetGalley & voluntarily reviewed ~
