Title: The CEO (The Game Changers, #1)

Eve Bryant finds herself moving across the country with only one goal—to rediscover herself and get her life back on track…

Leaving a disastrous marriage, she swears off men and relationships, but when she meets sexy, charismatic Grant Mitchell, her new rules fly right out the window.

Grant is a born and bred businessman, and he always gets what he wants…

The moment he lays eyes on Eve, Grant is determined she will be his. She’s different from other women he knows—too stiff, too prim—but her smile pierces his heart and he longs to see what she’s like when she lets her hair down. They discover a powerful and undeniable connection, leading to a fast moving relationship that leaves Eve whirling in its wake.

The odds are stacked against them, and trust is hard to come by.

A woman scorned, a troubled ex-husband, and a mother bent on orchestrating her son’s future to suit her own agenda make for a very rocky road. The new couple may not last, no matter how strong their feelings for each other are. Grant is willing to fight to keep Eve in his life, but after recent events, Eve isn't sure she has any fight left to give.

Will outside forces drive Eve and Grant apart? Or will they learn there’s no love greater than the one you fight the hardest to keep?




A fast-moving story about abused woman and a alfa-male. I haven't read something like this before. #sarcasm

Eve has endured her marriage with an abusive husband for a long time, but she's had enough. She moved out of their house, filled in for divorce and found a job on the other side of the US.

Grant is rich, confident and hot. He's little over thirty, never had a serious relationship but when he saw Eve something shifted inside of him. He completely changed. One day he was a bachelor, just enjoying his life and the other he wanted only Eve and no one else.

And she wanted him back. How could she not? He's got the looks, the brains and money.

But it was so fast. I mean even cheetah is slower.

"I mean, really, who in the world introduces someone to his parents after one week? Ridiculous."

Exactly my thoughts. And I-love-yous came soon after that.

"29. The number of days I have known Grant."

At this point they've already been serious. With both I-love-you and exchange of safe codes.

The ending fast rushed although it felt like forever before I finally reached it. The book was way too long for how much had happened, which is not much except for lot of sex and complaining.

Complaining. Yeah. There was a lot of it. "Oh my god, poor me. Oh, he's hot, but I can't be with him. Wham! What did I just do? Why? But it was sooo good. I'm gonna do it again. Damn he's so alfa. He's hot. He should stop trying to make my life better. Why does he want to buy me a new dress? I can afford it. Oh, look at my beautiful new dress," says Eve. #justshutup
