A cocky rich boy meets his match in a fiery businesswoman

Cassey's life is crazy enough. The last thing she needs is some cocky rich boy trying to destroy her business. Normally immune to these vultures, she finds this brazen hottie especially difficult to refuse.

Out to close the deal of a lifetime, Luke won't take no for an answer, and the intoxicating beauty standing in his way isn't going to go down easily. He'll need more than business savvy to close this deal.

This book was so good that I couldn't put it down. The way it started off I wasn't sure I was going to like it, but then again; I couldn't make myself look away, either. The first 7 yrs of Cassey’s childhood story made me cry! I'll never be able to understand how a parent, or anyone for that matter, could treat a innocent child like that. It's totally inhumane and deplorable!!! I didn't much like ZLuke in the beginning of this story, either. He came off as the usual rich, spoiled man who was used to getting whatever he wanted, and to heck with the people he had to walk over to get it. But as the story went on and we find ut more about Luke and his up-bring....we find out that first impressions aren't always what they seemed to be.

But then Cassie's special "Angel' ----as she still refers Lily as until this very day----comes to save her. At first she wasn't too sure about Lily; trust was a major factor for a girl who never knew what a real childhood should look like. Soon she found a loving family who taught her how it felt to be loved for the first time in her life. But would she ever be able to truly trust another person, again?

Luke had never been his father’s favorite. That title had belonged to his brother, but he’s determined to make his father see that he can be a great businessman. But as hard as he tried; he dicovered that he could never live up to his brother's image .....at least not in his fathers eyes. After meeting Cassie and seeing just how much her family's hertiage means to her, he knows he can't take her business away from her.

Between Luke's family struggles and his feelings for Cassey, he faces many tough decisions. Can he fix everything and make it all work?

This story has many twists and turns; some of which I never saw coming. The emotions run high in this book, but it's well worth the read, believe me!!! I would highly recommend this book to everyone.

4.0 out of 5 stars and put with a family where she learned to love and trust
Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2016

This is a typical romance story. Which is exactly what I wanted. Cassey is a woman who had a very rough start in life, so cruel that it colors her view of the world. She was rescued by an 'angel', in the form of a social worker, and put with a family where she learned to love and trust.

The story opens with Cassey opening her own bar/grill in a small Florida tourist town. I loved the descriptions of the town, I could see the boardwalk and each little business.

Enter Luke, the son of a millionaire-hotel owner who wants to buy Cassey's business. It's not for sale, although she can't deny her attraction to Luke. And...it seems he's not exactly what she thinks he is.

The story had me laughing, and certainly rooting for the two to recognize 'the real thing', and to fully open up to each other.

A thoroughly enjoyable, well-written book!

This is an excellent beginning to the Grayton Series with Cassey and Luke's love story. The Grayton family saved Cassey' s life and helped her recover from a tragic abusive childhood. She was whole now and at 22years old was fulfilling a lifelong dream to run her own bar and grill with the help of her brothers. The Callaway Hotel chain was trying to buy up the property in Surf Breeze but Cassey was not selling. He sent his son Luke fresh out of college to make the deal but Luke was not interested in breaking her heart by selling her business. She knew the purpose of him being in her bar but they came up with a proposal for personal satisfaction only with no pressure on selling her business. The problem with this arrangement was they started falling in love with each other. Cassey had promised herself that she was never going to fall in love and it had been working until now, so she was not happy about this new situation. Luke's brother Calvin died who was his dad's favorite son, Luke never lived up to his dad's expectations no matter what he did. Once Luke decided that he was going to help Casseys business succeed he had to inform his dad of his intentions which caused quite a falling out. This was a romantic sexy love story of two damaged people, Cassey physically and Luke mentally who discovered love. On the way to their happily ever after Luke's dad, after suffering a stroke, realized he had to change and appreciate his only living son. I cannot wait to read the next installment in this series which will center around one of the Grayton brothers. This was a fabulous book and I highly recommend it.

Starts as a buyout, but ends up as a relationship. That causes turmoil with the buyer/parent. A health scare changes everything. HEA.

Well written and highly entertaining romance. A story about a woman who was rescued and raised by the Grayton family as a young child. She and her brothers are repairing and opening an old family business on the board walk. She meets Luke who was sent by his father with an offer to purchase her property. A mutual attraction occurs and a very romantic story unfolds.

Cassie had an awful start in life, being raised very poorly by her father and step mother. She was rescued by her "guardian angel" and placed with the Grayton family who already had their own children as well as adopted ones. From that point she has a happy life.

Cassie is running her own bar and grill on a seaside boardwalk. For the first couple of years business was booming, alwayspopular with both locals and tourists. Recently though trade had quietened off. A few nearby shops etc had found it so bad that they had closed. All of their trade had dropped because the local bus shuttle service had suddenly stopped. Not long after that, offers came in at a much lower rate to buy them out.

Cassie is determined that she will not give in. The property had been in her family for years and she will not sell. This is when Luke Callaway comes into Cassie's life. His rather has sent him to pressure Cassie into the sale of her business. What they don't bargain for is the instant attraction between the two of them.

Great story and easy read in Jill's usual style. Love and lust threaten family honour. Who will back down, if either?

The prologue had me nearly in tears, the rest, although not as serious, still showed the reader how many different types of child abuse there are, and how this reflects into their adult life. It was heartwarming to see the protagonists overcome their obstacles and slowly build up trust.
I quite like reading books by this author, and I am looking forward to getting my hands on the next books in this specific series.
