Review: 3.5 A nice start to what appears to be a promising series.

I got this book as a free download, and the beautiful cover initially caught my attention. Ryann is a young widow, who after 2 1/2 years of healing from her terrible loss, wants to move forward with her life and her future. She is pursuing a career in the arts, hoping to become a successful artist, while pursuing a higher degree in the field. She is making a big move to New York, leaving the home she made with her late husband, and the first order of business is to attend an art show of one of her favorite artist. On the way, her car breaks down, as she waits in the rain for AAA, she is approached by the limo driver of an extremely handsome, sexy man who offers her a ride; she declines, reluctantly as she has made arrangements for a driver who is soon approaching. She arrives at the gallery to find herself having witty engaging banter with "hot limo man" and this is where the story takes off.I enjoyed this read; the plot of the story was well thought out and I liked all the secondary characters and how the future stories in this series were set up to get us engaged in the plot. Okay, what held the story from getting a higher rating for me? The word "Pause" was a bit annoying, Ryann's personality/insecurities though understandable, didn't make her the most likable character for me, and even though the intimacy/sex scenes were intense, it was a little overkill for me. I did enjoy the overall storyline, and am willing to stay invested in reading additional stories in the series. Not bad for a free download. Will definitely keep these authors on my radar.
