This book focus on a young naive adult, Katherine Slav and her journey of finding love in the least place she expected to. As she navigates her way through the real world, her insecurities, jealousy, and doubts begins to creep in and soon she must learn if love is worth the fight. They say "the beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides."~Audrey Hepburn. Will Katherine eyes shine bright or will they slowly lose their color?Like any young adult graduating college, the next big phase in life is the ever-looming reality of the real world. Katherine Slav has led a privileged life where her parents provided generously to the lifestyle she was accustomed to. When her father orders an ultimatum for her to get her life in order and follow in his footsteps in becoming a neurosurgeon, Katherine puts her foot down and tells her father that isn't the career that she envisions. Angered and disappointed with Katherine's choice, her father decides to cut off all financial ties with her. With just enough money in her bank account, Katherine must look for a job. With the help with of her cousin, Julia, she was able to land a job as an executive assistant. The only thing that Katherine didn't expect was to find her boss, Mr. Eric Miller to be sexy. Mr. Miller exudes confidence and screams domineering alpha male. She finds herself drawn to Eric's physique and most importantly to his bright Caribbean blue eyes.The sexual tension in between Katherine and Eric was felt throughout the first half of the book. The lines of boss and employee were getting crossed and blurred as the two continually spent time together. The sexual attraction between Eric and Katherine were felt but he somehow tries to deny the pull. When Eric can no longer withstand his desires and feelings for Katherine, the couple enters an unknown territory where deep feelings and possibility of love lingers.As for the sexual chemistry, these two can't keep their hands off each other. They are insatiable. Katherine soon learns and discovers that Eric likes to be a tad rough and in control when it comes to sex. Never having experienced this type of chemistry, she discovers that she enjoys this new uncharted territory. The only thing that is stopping Eric and Katherine from fully becoming a couple, is Eric's ex-girlfriend and Katherine's insecurities.Overall, I enjoyed reading the book. Ms. Michaels definitely puts her readers on a roller-coaster filled with sexual tension and chemistry. They say the eyes are the window to the soul. If that's the case, Katherine Slav has eyes that can memorized anyone with it's bright green color and what if those bright eyes begins to dim and fade. Both Eric and Katherine must finally decide whether their relationship can survive whatever stands in their way. Or will Eric's past dictate and forever put a wedge with his relationship with Katherine? Can they finally see that love is staring straight at them? Or will in a blink of eye, their fairy-tale romance comes to an end? Let's hope Ms. Michaels can finally give us all the answers in book 2. Hopefully we can expect to finally get to hear Eric's POV in the next book.
