Once, the name Macalister Hale was uttered in the boardroom with respect. Now, it's whispered in disgrace at cocktail parties hosted by Boston's elite. Scandal nearly destroyed me, but the one thing larger than my infamy is my bank account, and I've learned money can solve anything. Well--almost anything. Sophia Alby's preferred currency is secrets and the way she trades information puts Wall Street to shame. This girl charges into my life and claims a partnership can restore my reputation. My downfall was swift, but with her, my climb to redemption will be greater. Our arrangement is professional. Appropriate. It has to be, because she's half my age. But it doesn't stop me from wanting . . . To move on. To control and indulge in her. To hear the name Macalister Hale echo in her breathy moans. But I can't. Giving in to temptation led to my undoing before, and I won't survive it a second time.

This book was so good huge age gap but it genuinely wasn’t creepy still confused abt everything with the stepdaughter but it was srsly so good
And his control was freakishly hot
Anyway I just thought it was super good just enough angst and cute moments and ahhh loved it

Whew, who knew I would come to love Macalister Hale after his actions in the previous book. Of course, it’s a reminder that perspective is everything and Nikki Sloane wields that change of perspective like a knife. 

Loved this book, it fanned the flames of my ever present age gap obsession. Nikki Sloane doesn’t miss.

DADDY MACALISTER!!! Aahhhhhh What can I say? I’m in love with this man and I want to have his children. Can I leave it at that... or no? Okay fine fine fine.

Ugh where do I start? Macalister has been my cup of tea since the very beginning. The temptation, allure, assertiveness, confidence, dominance and seduction of him? God I mean what else can a girl ask for really.

His character was so complex from the start not many would have liked him but I did because he had so much more depth than just being an overbearing father, billionaire CEO & boss. He lost his wife and had to raise 2 growing boys on his own, that alone take quite a bit of patience, control & will power which he did an amazing job at.

Having come back into the fold after being away for 2 years I really didn’t know where this story would go. I wasn’t really a fan of Sophia but I quite liked her a lot in this book for Macalister. She brought out so much in him and very well changed his whole life in a short amount of time.

The steam? Fuck OUT OF THIS WORLD. But I expected nothing less from Nikki she’s the queen of smut and HEAT.

FIVE OUT OF FIVE STARS. READ THIS SHIT.

Phewy, we’ll that was …. Nice. Before I delve into the characters, I must say I loved this quite a lot. The luxurious, scandalous and rich setting of the story was a definite appeal to me. The storyline was pretty cool too, ngl. 

Sophia. Headstrong, brave, intelligent and strategic. I love my women to be slightly manipulative that it could be passed off as strategic. Sophia’s brain = chef’s kiss. She’s also super funny, and her witty remarks amused me. 

Macalister. See I love powerful, the kind with not just the money and position, but the demanding and compelling aura and presence. I also liked how he changed for the better  (fitting book title,no?) it was interesting really, to see how his mind works. I’m convinced the rich are just strategic by default.

Overall, I enjoyed this a lot. I would’ve loved to see more diverse characters, and not have the only POC character be such a minor part of the story. Fun and steamy read.

It's been months and I still think about this book and how much I loved it. The age gap, the anti-hero, the heroine, it was all PERFECT. I love this series so much. The chemistry between the two was fantastic and this was an excellent new entry into a series that was already one of my favorites!
