Review: Wish Elyssa would've been a stronger character

At first, I wasn't quite sure how to review this story. After waiting a few days to think about it, I find myself more disappointed. I enjoyed the overall storyline, but too many things aren't making sense/sitting well with me. For example, I can't understand why she had Cole in her life. I know it gives us a reason, but he is a complete stalker and she's fine with it. Elyssa says she is a strong woman, but yet, on so many things she wouldn't stand up for herself. She would say a line such as "You need to stop this" giving us the impression that she was, but then Cole wouldn't change his behavior and she would do nothing about it.***SPOILER***The main thing that is bothering me is her relationship with Arianna. After she finds information out and apparently hates her (I don't blame the girl), she invited her in her home and keeps working for her. Really?! Then Elyssa agrees to stay away from Alex because Arianna can ruin his reputation within the business world. This part is not believable to me at all. The sales world is huge and one CEO does not know everyone within this entire field across the whole US. He could easily move away and find another job, which he should do even if she didn't blackmail him/Elyssa. Oliver's character seemed a little bit too forced to me. It is obvious what he is trying to do and that Arianna is setting this up and Elyssa is still falling for it.**END SPOILER***I'm not sure if I will read the second book. A part of me wants to know what happens with these character, but I dislike stories where one person in a relationship keeps something from the other because they think they can 'handle it' on their own.
