***I received an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*********4.5*****Mary-Kate (MK) is an assistant working at a media company she doesn’t love her job in the sport network, but it a step closed to get to where she really wants to work and her dream job in the Beautiful Homes network. MK is a creative, independent, down to earth with a great attitude a little clumsy at times; she knows what she wants in life, unlike the other woman in her family she wants a career and is not fussed about having a relationship.William Cumberland is the British media mogul, who has just brought out the company. William is charming, rich, sexy, British, and definitely has some alpha male qualities, they are not over the top, but they are there he is not afraid to say what wants or what he is thinking.After William catches Mk fighting with the binding machine, sparks fly, and William like what he see, and to MK surprise make her his personal assistant while he is in the US. A relationship developed that is flirty and fun, and as they spend more time together their relationship starts to change and grows into something more.MK is not bother about William’s money or who he is, and William likes that she treat as just a normal person, and not afraid to tell him what he is thinking, which is very different to how everybody else treat him. William puts Mk first and lets MK see that she could have both love, and a career.This was such a sweet storyline about two people falling in love and the up and downs that go with it. It had the right amount of sweet, romantic, funny and touching moments and wasn’t too high on the angst. I liked both MK, and William as characters. I loved the romance, their texts, they way they supported each other, and the banter between then was very funny at timesTold from MK’s POV you get to see what she was thinking, and feeling about William and her future. I liked that it wasn’t insta love Mk, and William have great chemistry together, but they really get to know each other before they take it to the next level. It was refreshing to see that didn’t just jump into bed with each other. Mk wanted to wait until she was ready and sure of her feeling for him, and William completely respects that.I do usually like smexy scenes in my books, and even though this book didn’t have any, I didn’t mind, as it didn’t take away my enjoyment from the storyline. It had some lovely secondary characters such as William’s brother and his wife, but also a few that I wanted to punch. I love the epilogue it left me with a big smile on my face, and it will go down as one of my favorites.Overall I really enjoyed Connectivity Aven Ellis début book. I like her writing style I found it engaging, and easy to read from the start, I like character development, the pace and flow of the story. The way she pointed out the differences between the English, and the Americans made me laugh. I’m looking forward to reading any of her future books.If you were looking for cute funny lighthearted read a sweet HEA, then I would recommend that you one click this book today.Some MK Quotes“Yes, I am attracted to William Cumberland. I didn’t realize it because I have never felt this way before, had this kind of attraction to a man like this.”"It scares me, I find myself reevaluating all my previous thoughts on love and relationships because of him. I'm risking my heart- which I have never wanted to do"“Oh dear God. The calm current of our relationship just changed in this very moment. Which is exciting and scary and I have never felt more confused about anything in my entire life.”“William stares back at me, but I already know what he is thinking. That I get him like nobody else does. I can’t explain it, but it is a feeling I have, one that is so strong and so powerful I know I’m right”“The one thing I am certain of is that for the first time in my life, my heart is alive. My heart is telling me what it wants, what it needs, to be happy”“I am in shock, because I didn’t think he could laugh, and when he did . . . oh God, it was very attractive”
