Ok, now I love/hate Alexander Worth! What a great story full of emotional turmoil and conflict at every turn. Alex really tries to do the right thing but just is not very skilled in the care and handling of a serious relationship; and - - he is in denial.Tessa wants to keep her job as Alex's assistant but loses a little piece of her heart to him every day. Her naivete is a little wearing at times, but you can't help but empathize with her. She does fare better than Alex by living somewhat vicariously through her fantasies.The story flows beautifully through the ups and downs of their relationship over a period of weeks until it's abrupt and brutal end. It picks up again one year later and, while we never see the emotions Alex and Tessa have felt during that year, they are immediately and blatantly obvious.It's a love story, you know there's an HEA at the end but you can't help but wonder, as you read, if it will truly happen. There are many twists and turns and you just want to slap Tessa and wring Alex's neck most of the time, but I ended up smiling.I picked this book up as a freebie, read it in a day, and will definitely be buying the rest of this Trilogy. Can't wait to read Hunter's and Rhett's stories, if they are as good as Alex and Tessa's I'll be re-reading all of them many times over. Thank you Karen Erickson!
