About this ebook

Sam has a secret he holds close to his heart…


Joy Paulson is fine being single. In fact, it saves her from the maddening dating rituals in Manhattan. If she ever settles down, it will be with someone she truly loves and trusts. That’s why she turns down her super-hot boss when he asks her out, leading to disaster when he retaliates, forcing her termination.


Sam Davidson has pined for Joy since the first time he saw her sweet smile and stunning eyes. But there’s a secret that the shy IT developer holds deep inside: Sam is still a virgin. At twenty-nine, he never intended it to happen, but accepts that he could never please Joy in all the ways she deserves.


Sam can offer her a job, though, and proceeds to help Joy rebuild her life after the unfair firing. As their work relationship grows, Joy is taken with Sam’s kindness, gorgeous crystal-hazel eyes and generous smile. And his hands…oh, his firm, broad hands…


Joy can’t figure out why Sam resists the desire that sparks so vividly between them, but Valentine’s Day is coming and she’s determined to seduce him and make them both burn. Even if it means discovering all his secrets…


Inexperienced hero trope lovers unite! This is a fun, fast-paced, steamy story from an author who wanted to flip the script and write about an inexperienced male main character. Sam is so adorably sensual and endearing, he might just melt your heart. Here’s wishing you a fantastic Valentine’s Day all year round!

This is a very sweet and easy to listen to book. I loved the relationship between the two characters. Sam is absolutely gorgeous and Joy is sweet. They are well suited but even well suited couples face challenges. I enjoyed the inexperienced hero troupe. I thought that his embarassment and struggles with accepting himself very interesting. Luckily Joy was not phased by Sam's secret. They manage to get over most hurdles facing their budding relationship and partnership until the biggest challenge of all. Overall this book is light and fun. It is well narrated too!. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Sweetly romantic story which touches on several tropes, opposites attract, business and pleasure and the magic of Valentine's day. I like that Sam gets a chance with the one woman he's admired from afar for so long. I like her boldness and patience, I like them both and agreed with them both, lol. They work well together in all areas. Entertaining romantic with some steam and a bit of drama. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
