Wrought iron.  Perish.  Chick.  TCB's editor should be spanked for letting 'rod iron', 'parish' and 'chic' pass uncorrected, more than once.  It's distracting.Brooke is a new graduate with a new job in the big city of Charlotte, NC, USA.  She has some spunk, some fashion sense, a good figure and a pretty face.  Her first night in the city she meets her mate for eternity, Alex Chase.  When Brooke mentions that she starts tomorrow as a marketing assistant at Chase Marketing, Alex does not share that he is owner of the business.  Little withholding games like that are a poor way to start an eternal bond.  She has some reluctance and trust issues.  He's not a primo communicator and what he sees in her -- it's skin deep, it has to be, he hardly knows her.  The early weeks are rocky and so are later weeks, in different ways.  Plots are hatched, roadblocks to their eternal happiness are decreed. Who knew this simple unlikely couple from Charlotte could kick up so much sand?I like elements of this story.  I think an editor who knows there/their/they're and pronoun usage might have spiffed it up.  A little more romance and character development might have been written.  Some snappy dialog.  Instead, it's the pitfall of self-publishing: first draft-y. Hopefully someone will step in and help out on sequels.  Three stars for the imaginative plot.
