Publisher Description
USA Today Bestselling Author, Lexy Timms, brings you a billionaire with a past he pretends didn't exist and a private life he doesn't want to share with anyone—except with one girl from his past that doesn't remember him.
The SECRET of happiness is FREEDOM. The secret of freedom is COURAGE.
The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past as better than what is was and the present worse than it actually is.
Billionaire CEO, SIMON DIESEL, owns one of the largest companies in the U.S. Little is known about him—he keeps his personal life out of the media despite their efforts to try to find out who the single, handsome billionaire is. He graduated out of Stanford with top honors, and while there invested in an online company that turned into a fortune. No one knows he was just a regular kid growing up and got into Stanford on a scholarship. He's determined to prove to himself that he can do it.
He never expected that the girl he lost his virginity to would show up in his office, looking for a job. He also never anticipated that she wouldn't remember him. Now he has to hire her, just to prove he's the same kid from high school—just a whole lot richer.
Customer Reviews
Ends in a cliffhanger
The book was not bad, but it wasn’t amazing either. It was a good read, kept me entertained, finished it in about 3 hrs. Some of the reviews here say that it ws slow to start. I thought it was fine actually. I didn’t like that Heather, the main character, was giving the male lead, Simon, mixed signals. She was hot and then cold. Saying things were a mistake about 3 seperate times, and then she would be the one to give him hope again. The ending was the same thing. They have this experience that bonded them, and it ends by her being cold again. Sounds like steryotipcal “girl” drama. Overall it was good, but it does end in a cliffhaner.
Disappointing Ending
The story wasn’t terrible but I won’t follow up in the series due to the ending. I can only predict the endings of the next 2 books will be equally as disappointing. Nobody likes to be angry with an ending of a romance novel.
Attention grabbing.
The ending of this book had me like “😮😮”. Why must it end like that😂🤌🏾. But overall the book was very attention grabbing. I just wish it were longer, it was more like a novel to me. I do recommend reading if this is the type genre you like.
