Henry Beck, the gorgeous CEO of an advertising company, was in need of a new personal assistant. He expected HR to hire someone older, more experienced, maybe even with gray hair. Who he got instead was the beautiful, young, single mother - Claire Russell. A woman who he is having a hard time keeping his eyes off of...Claire never expected her new boss to be the most gorgeous man she's ever laid eyes on. She also never expected him to be sweet to her two year old son, Ethan. But Henry is her boss and there is no future with him. Or so Claire thinks...Will Henry and Claire be able to fight the obvious attraction between them? Will Henry's overbearing mother come between them? Or will a freak accident change their perspectives on life and what's most important...Henry and Claire’s story is very sweet. Although we have seen a version of their stories in many books, I felt that theirs was more realistic. Henry isn’t the typical hard-ass boss; he definitely has a soft side. Claire and henry have an instant connection that is evident to everyone around them, except Henry’s over-bearing mother. Anne Beck reminded me of my mother-in-law, no one is ever good enough for her boys. I was anxious to see if she would come around and see in Claire what her son saw in her.The writing had a great flow and kept me reading until the end. Even though the main male character is rich, it wasn’t thrown in our faces with expensive suits, expensive cars and private jets. There were times that I forgot Henry was a big time CEO and just thought he was a regular down to earth guy. I love how the author introduced the other brothers into the story and gave the reader a glimpse into what to expect from their story. As always, I love the alternating POV in this story. When I am reading and immersing myself into a book, I don’t want to have to think too much about what the other person is thinking. I do that enough on a daily basis.I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys laughing and crying along with the characters in the story and anyone who loves deliciously hot men and the women lucky enough to love them.
