Emerald Anderson’s life takes a tragic turn after returning home to the unimaginable…and a note... “I’m willing to bet that you’ll end up just like me: A beautiful nothing…”That quote haunts her and forever changes her view on people and herself. She is fiercely independent and has a spitfire attitude that is not to be challenged. She speaks her mind and never apologizes, why bother with you are a beautiful nothing.Enter Carter Black…the mysterious and hotter than sin guy who walks into a coffee shop. He is instantly attracted to Emerald and will do whatever it takes to break into her world. He enjoys the verbal beating she gives him all while keeping a smirk on his face. Emerald tries to deny her attraction, but eventually after a few chance meetings she lets down her guard and slowly Carter works his way into her life.I read this book in one sitting and was completely sucked in and blown away. I loved seeing Emerald evolve and find herself through all of her trials and tribulations. While Carter remains a bit of a mystery you will instantly fall for his charm and wittiness. He is determined to get through to Emerald and is willing to whatever it takes to make her his.It was an emotional ride and I loved it! There is a slight cliffhanger…but not one that will make you lose your mind…it just makes you eager for the release of Beautiful Temptation, which Mariah Cole says, “Is a LOT sooner than we think.”
