While watching her brothers find their happily ever afters, Abbey dreams of falling in love. Smart, fun, and sexy, Abbey is also independent and works hard alongside her brother, Kyle. When Kyle joins his business ventures with his wife’s cousins, Jason and Damon, Abbey struggles with keeping things professional.
Jason is instantly enamored with Abbey, and he becomes determined to win her over. Although she does not want to mix business with pleasure, he uses his good looks and sweet charm to work his way into her heart. All the while, Abbey begins building a friendship with a neighborhood child, Pearl. Abbey’s heart warms to Pearl, and their friendship quickly blossoms into a loving relationship.
Can Abbey find a way balance her growing feelings for Jason and her need to take care of Pearl? Or will Abbey need to sacrifice one relationship for the sake of the other?

This is book 4 in the Beautiful series. I must admit this is the first book in the series that I have read. If books 1-3 are as awesome as this book, I am one clicking them asap and putting them on my TBR list.

Abbey meets Jason at her brother Kyle's wedding and the two have an instant connection. While Kyle and his new wife Lilly go on their honeymoon, Abbey must take over the family business while Kyle is away. Jason is Lilly's cousin who has just partnered up with Kyle. Abbey has a rule...she does not date any of the men she works with. She tries to fight her feelings for Jason but the more they are together the harder that becomes. Jason wants Abbey to be his so no matter how much Abbey fights him he is determined to break down her walls. I loved Jason and Abbey together!!

I loved the secondary characters in this book, especially Pearl. Pearl is Abbey's 7 year old neighbor who lives with her foster aunt after her foster mom passed away. Abbey realizes that Pearl seems like a lost and lonely child so the two form a bond and grow closer and closer. The aunt seems to always be gone and Pearl always seems to be alone unless she is with Abbey and Jason.

Things between Abbey and Jason are going great until one day Abbey makes a decision without speaking to Jason. Will it destroy their relationship? Will Abbey lose the one man she has come to realize she can't live without?

I don't want to say anything else and give anything away. All I can say is go one click this book now, you won't regret it!! I can't wait for the next book which will be on Abbey's best friend Gail and Jason's brother Damon.

  1. Not dating a co-worker is a great rule although I see how that could be a dilemma. I love the cover art, I will be checking this series out.
