Content with her life as it is, Elena White finds herself in a forced compromise that started with an old high school classmate.She never knew that her life could get so complicated; mundane was what she was used to. All the hysterics of fashion; money and love never seemed to be in view of Elena’s plan. Work until an opportunity presented itself is what she thought, easier said than done. Her boss wasn’t handing out compliments nor was she opening any good fortune doors for Elena. Contentment is what she welcomes…. Until she bumps into an associate from high school, Jasmine. Not besties, not enemies but allies.Jasmine, seems to have her life well put together or so it seems through Elena eyes. She invites Elena for drinks; dinner and presents her with an opportunity that turns Elena’s world into chaos. No, no, not organized chaos but the kind of chaos that puts her into a situation that causes Elena to lose her not so perfect job; unmistaken humiliation; lands her in jail and fallen for a guy that can’t be hers.A guy that can’t be hers…. Conrad, a successful businessman with a story untold. Until the universe puts him in a place that may have been wrong for Elena but right for him. These two share a relationship that isn’t exactly first impression date worthy. Conrad isn’t an open book but his interesting smooth and humble demeanor has Elena wanting to know more about this man. I can go on and spoil the book for you but I choose not to, I want readers to experience everything GG has given in this book.Honestly, this book started off a bit slow for me but that’s because I didn’t know what to expect from GG Carver. However, now that I have read it I know that it was a building tactic for his readers… I love authors that does that. It allows me to have “the back of the mind thought”…. You know the thought that you know there’s something about to happen and you try and figure it out before it does. Sixty percent of the time I’m wrong but I love it when I am wrong because the outcome is that much more shocking to me. I can tell you, I DID NOT see where this story was going and went.I can tell you that I enjoyed every minute of it, also I love when an author uses the title within the book. I can tell you, THAT IS THEE climax of the book for me.“Elena, if I thought you were that sort of girl, I wouldn’t be here. We all make mistakes. It’s a part of life. Nobody is whiter than white.”-ConradWhether it is at the beginning, middle or end of the book. It brings the significance out in the story, I look forward to see how it is used and what role it plays. GG played this line of the book well. I actually wouldn’t mind reading a sequel to this book. GG can go several places with this story. A lot of tragedy and revenge on Elena and Conrad and maybe a real love interest for Jasmine…. Hint Hint.Whatever GG decides to do with this, I look forward to his work in general and there’s always something to look forward to…
