I won a copy of this book at a release party. I had never heard of Ashley Cassidy or Relentless Hope. I had no idea what to expect having not even read the synopsis. What I found was touching story of how a single person can make all the difference in a person's life, for good or bad. This story starts with a single mistake and ends with the hardest decision Aleah will probably ever make. In between we get see her grow from a frightened and alone young woman into someone ready to fight for what she wants.This story shows you glimpses into the struggles a young woman faces whose family is steep in the cultural traditions of Pakistan. Aleah goes from the extreme shelter and cocoon of her family to being vilified by them and forced to make decisions she never thought she would. She finds a unexpected friend at the lowest point in her life and is thrust into the drama of his billionaire status. I enjoyed watching Aleah grow and change throughout this book. Aleah finds she has feelings for her friends grandson Aiden, is afraid to let him into her heart. Aiden has been a spoiled rich brat most of his life and but finds Aleah a refreshing exception to most of the people he knows. There is a lot of chemistry between these two people. I am looking forward to the next book to find out if they can get past their differences and figure out just how to have a life together.
