My Musings

While browsing for contemporary romances, I came upon this book. Since the book was free and offered the audio version for $1.99, I immediately downloaded both. I barely looked at the book description because how could I go wrong with a deal like that. I am so glad I found this fantastic book!
Regan Keller is starting a new job. Her car has broken down, and she has to take the bus. When she can’t find a seat, she’s forced to stand. The bus jolts to a sudden stop and she ends up in the lap of a gorgeous man. While she’s very cautious of men after a horrific experience with her last boyfriend, she doesn’t feel threatened by the stranger. When he asks her to meet him at a hot dog stand for lunch, she impulsively agrees.

Zachary Benson is CEO of Benson, Benson and Hart. What Regan doesn’t know, it’s her new boss’ lap she’s sitting in. When she later discovers her charming stranger is the man she’s working for, she refuses to consider a relationship with him that’s not work-related.

Can Zach break through the thick wall protecting Regan’s heart, or will the demons of her past keep her from letting him in?

I thoroughly enjoyed this engaging tale of love. The story is fast paced and kept me entertained from​ the first scene to the last. I really wanted couple to find their happy ending. The story line is compelling and the characters are well-developed.

Regan’s character is actually quite complex. In the beginning I thought Ms. Marie was giving more information about her past than normal and I wondered if it was too much, but as the story unfolds, it soon became apparent that was just the tip of the iceberg. As I got further in the story and learned what had actually happened to her, it brought a few tears to my eyes. No wonder she was so mistrusting of men.

Zachary is a much more forthcoming character. He doesn’t have any hidden agendas, other than attending boarding school as a young child. He’s driven to succeed as CEO of the firm his grandfather and father started. He really didn’t have time to have a relationship, or so he thought. When he’s immediately captivated by Regan, he turns his drive toward capturing her heart. I loved how protective he is and his patience with Regan, giving her the time she needed to open up to him.

Now, I listened to the audio version. I’ll admit at the beginning I didn’t care for the narrator. Most of time her voice tone remains the same from one character to another, but the story is so engrossing that by the end I grew used to the narration. While Gale Cruz isn’t the type of narrator I normally enjoy, her reading doesn’t intrude on my reading enjoyment, so by the end I barely noticed the lack of variation in her voice tone.

I highly recommend The Executive’s Decision, and I’m glad I took a chance on this book. It’s a riveting story that I found very enthralling. I’m sure you will enjoy this book as much as I did. I can’t wait to read the next one in this series. Happy reading!

This is a sweet romance story which I enjoyed. This is a well rounded story that comes to life with each page I turned. The characters are relatable and are created with a lot of heart. This is a story about Regan. She fell in love with her boss in the past and is determined she will never date someone she works with again. Zachary is the head of a successful empire. He is used to getting whatever he wants until now. Will he be able to convince her of giving him a chance? What will happen when her past comes to the present and threatens his success? Will he choose her or his empire? I enjoyed their chemistry. I also enjoyed watching their relationship grow into what it was. They really made the story for me and what they brought to the story. I highly recommend this book.

I will admit that I got this book free off of Amazon and boy am I glad that I did. I just another author that I probably would not have read. I have bought the second book in this series and plan on buying the others. The family dynamics of both the Keller and Benson are real and at times hilarious.

Regan Keller is an executive assistant that made one bad decision that nearly cost her own life. Moving back from Hawaii to heal and to be around her family has helped her move on with her life in some ways but she is still very leary around men, especially her new boss. Good looking, rich and saying all the right things to her, she believes that he will end up treating her the same way her old boss did.

Zach Benson is a driven man in his work and has never truly been in love before Regan. Once he meets her, he is instantly smitten. (Trust me, how they meet is priceless) He is a patient man when it comes to Regan and her emotions regarding men but knows that she is hiding something from him.

I adored this book from the first page and sighed when it ended. This book has everything that I want in a book. Passion, humor, a hero and heroine that I connected with from the start and the secondary characters are richly drawn and enhance the story not overtake it. While there is smexy in this book, it is sensually written and loving.

The family dynamics are nicely written, too. Not overpowering but you can feel the love that they have for one another. I can't wait to read the stories about the other Keller siblings. Don't miss the opening chapter of Carlos's book after Regan and Zach's story. I instantly went and bought his book and look forward to reading it.

Don't miss out on this beautifully written love story about a woman finding herself again through the love of man that regardless of what happened to her, will always love her.

It is a good book to pick up and read, if u like love stories and per se u don't have something against office romance. The conversation between the leads is quite cute. I could have given it 4 star but for its ending.

After reading book I really felt that the author should have differently titled the book and ended the book differently. End is a complete disappointment and reason also seems very flimsy. But then it is free in kindle version ....

Regan Keller is a woman who has been hurt and survived it all and when she gets a new job as a personal secretary, she is determined not to make the same mistakes again. Zachary Benson is a man who heads up a successful empire and is known for his attention to details and ability to get things done, but he hasn’t got anyone but his parents to share his success with.

It is Regan’s first day in her new job and things are not going to plan, her car didn’t start and if she got a ride then she would be late, so she decides to take the bus, but of course it is raining and she forgot her umbrella. When she gets on the bus, she realises that it is going to be one crowded journey and if the old woman taking up two seats between her and her large bag, it is going to be standing room only all the way, that is until the bus jerks and she ends up sat in a strange mans lap, she is terrified, but just about keeps her cool when he engages her in conversation and wraps his arms around her to keep her right where she is. She does enjoy the conversation and despite her misgivings, she agrees to meet the man for lunch, even though she has no idea who he is, but she doesn’t have any time to think on it when she heads into the office where she is due to take over from the current secretary to the CEO who is heavily pregnant.

As she finds her way round the office and learns her new duties, she realises that it is already lunch time and heads to the hot dog stand and surprisingly has a fantastic time until her mystery companion takes a call and leaves her, again without her asking his name, however, that is all about to change when she goes into his office to bob something on her bosses desk only to find that it is actually the man from the bus. She is startled and immediately panics and starts to leave, but just as she is convinced by him to return to the office, his current assistant goes into labour and they have to rush her to the hospital. When a mystery man comes in and envelops Regan in a hug, Zachary has no idea how to react, apart from a twinge of jealousy, the same thing happens when he drives her home to see another man waiting for her at the house, he has no idea why he feels so strongly about her, even though he has only known her part of a day. As time goes on and Regan settles into her role at the firm, she cannot deny that there is an attraction to Zachary and as much as she tries to ignore it and remain professional, she can feel her walls starting to crumble, but she denies his advances as best she can and tries to remain professional, she is a natural at the job though and as she builds rapports with his team and helps him to run the contracts he has been building, he is off to L.A. to try and win a new contract for a company and man he has worked with before, albeit the secrecy he employs until the deal is completed is not something that he enjoys doing, but all he can think about is getting back to Regan and helping her overcome her worries and fears.

Will Regan be able to open her heart to the man who is trying so hard to win her over, or will the past come back to haunt her and make any decisions she makes into a life or death situation again? This is a whirlwind romance with an undercurrent of malice which pulls you along until its conclusion.
