About this eBook

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “A sexy billionaire from the poshest part of Philadelphia gets snowed in with his beautiful neighbor in this modern-day rags-to-riches, enemies-to-lovers romance from bestselling and award-winning author Lydia Michaels.”

Avery Johansson is borrowing against her youth and beauty to afford a better future–by working as a sugar baby.

Gifted at playing the role of a delicate female, Avery makes a living by stroking wealthy men’s egos. But the real woman behind the act isn’t docile at all–she prefers leather over lace and spice rather than playing nice.

Noah Wolfe is used to getting exactly what he wants when he wants Avery. Once he sets his sights on his sexy neighbor, he’s determined to have her every which way. Little does he know, the soft female across the hall doesn’t swoon for roses–she bleeds for the thorns.

Two dominant hearts collide in an explosion of sin and safewords as boundaries are pressed

in a power struggle of dominance and ultimate possession.

Avery and Noah have an unusual relationship to say the least. It's as volatile as it is sexy. Every time they're around each other, it's anybody's guess who will come out on top - sometimes figuratively and literally. Honestly, I didn't really get a romantic vibe from these two, but they do have good sexual chemistry. They also have good banter. Well, sometimes it's what I would consider good as in amusing or funny. Other times it's kind of shocking.

A really unique story showing the heroine starting out working her way through college as a sugar baby. It starts out as though it's a typical meet-cute with a neighbor, and goes kinda haywire from there. I looooved Avery, everything about her. She's tough, she's shrewd, she's a hard worker. Caring underneath it all. She's determined to make a better life for herself, despite the hooks of her past. Now, the 1-star dock is because of Noah. He had a few decent moments, but overall I couldn't stand him. He was judgmental and presumptuous, and in my opinion his remarks toward Avery took him past the point of forgiveness. I think the message is that Avery and Noah don't have a common dynamic, and that their own unique personalities make a relationship that ends up working for them, but I thought Avery could do much better than someone who has mantrums and tries to make her jealous like a teenager. The love scenes are tame (to me) kink and pretty hot, and I liked that this was another spot Avery was able to shine. Overall, this is an entertaining read with a heroine to root for.

This is the first book I have read by this author. I absolutely loved it and look forward to reading more. Avery is a college student with a past but a determined future. She lives well, will graduate from college in 6 months debt free but finds her neighbor, Noah to be relentless. This is not just a boy meets girl story, it has so many layers, challenges and twists. A great, well written story and characters, I could turn the pages fast enough to find out more. Enjoy! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
