SYNOPSIS
Ivy is straight-laced, orderly and responsible. She’s also in love with her boss, Gabe.
When Ivy started working for him at his private investigation firm three years ago she was instantly drawn to him.
He’s everything she’s not and everything she wants— rough, gritty, sexy and impulsive.
When Ivy accidentally draws the eye of an unwanted admirer, Gabe is forced to take her and her rambunctious cousin Tessa into his home for their protection. But with Ivy in such close quarters Gabe’s resolve to stay away from the once shy beauty begins to dissolve at a rapid pace.
Things aren’t all sunshine and lolly pops for Ivy though, her stalker will not easily be deterred. His military background only makes him more determined and dangerous, the only thing that can save Ivy now… is Gabe.
Author Bio:
J B Heller is an average Aussie housewife with a wicked sexy imagination. She and her super sexy husband are the parents of three little minions.
She spends her days running around after her raucous children and jotting down stories in her flower embossed leather notebook (She is very particular about her stationary.). But the kids often run off with said stationary so she is forced to use her iPhone, iPad or whatever she can get her hands on (Darn kids!).
When the kids are taking their nap, nine times out of ten, J B can be found sitting at her computer typing as fast as she can, while she can, usually with her phone wedged between her shoulder and ear bouncing ideas off her sister.

MY REVIEW
I am going to try and give the best review I can without spoilers (EEEEEKKKK. I did say TRY) ok here it goessss..
4.5 STAR REVIEW****.
Ivy is the nice, pure-hearted good girl. Well that's how Gabe sees her..Well because quite frankly he is a stupid man whose head is up his ass. Don't get me wrong Ivy is all of what Gabe sees her as but she is SO much more!! She has always let herself fade into the background- not let herself be as confident and as sexy as she is, NO MORE! She is finally going to get what she wants - she is going after who she wants - her boss. Gabe.
He. Will. See. Her.
One of my favourite things about her is that she is strong. She decides to take charge of her life and not let herself be a victim especially not of her past. However, it's not her past she needs to worry about.
Gabe convinces himself he is just not good enough for Ivy when the attraction between them is palpable and they can't deny it anymore but Ivy simply has other plans. Gabe also takes on the role of Ivy's protector and unwillingly, Tessa's too, though he gets Kai to protect Tessa more so. Tessa and Gabe don't hit it off and there is tension there but Kai and Tessa have some sort of relationship and we get glimpses of this in the book.
This story took on quite a dark theme. It felt like an episode of Pretty Little Liars! for anyone who watches it you will understand, the angst, the tension, the not knowing, holding your breath until the very last second. Don't think you know what's going on in this book, you really don't. This story really shows just how true 'Looks can be deceiving' can be. J B Heller told this story to perfection, the growth of the story and of the many characters and stories within the story is truly fascinating and compelling writing. This book was a fresh of breath air for me, it was new and it was addicting.
I loved the writing style. It's my favourite style of writing actually, Both character POV's. The story flows fantastically together and it's hard to put it down, Just one think that irked me.. some of it jumped.. and yes I know we use our imagination in books.. it's not a big deal it's just something I'm curious about. Why Ivy went to Sloane? How? and When ?? it just confused me a little but I liked that Sloane was brought into it. I don't know maybe we will find out about it eventually but It's just something that left me thinking! curious.. wondering.
The book was amazing and I am so glad I read it because I don't usually go for dark books but this was amazing and this is definitely a compelling story that will stick with you.
