The blurb:

Uber-feisty career girl Charley Caswell-Wright travels to Barcelona for a weekend assignment as PA to the gorgeous Alex Demetrio, CEO of Demetrio International.

But she's there under entirely false pretenses: to get her life back on track. Having lost the job she worked so hard to earn, she’s determined not to give it up so easily, especially when she didn’t deserve to lose it in the first place.

Mr Dreamy CEO is her only chance of clawing back her career – and her reputation. So she has to keep things strictly professional… boy, is she in trouble!

My Opinion:

*Book provided by publisher in exchange for an honest review*

Firstly I’d like to thank the GoslingGirls make me part of this tour :)

The title of this book is sexy, special and totally describes the whole story. I got hooked from the beginning!!!

Charley is in a really bad place, no money and no perspective of a new job, because of what happened at her old job. She gets a weekend assignment to be a PA for the CEO of Demetrio International. They fly off the Barcelona for some business. The moment she steps in the car and meets him – wow! He’s sexy as hell and very successful, but she knows nothing can happen.

We learn more about her background and what happened at her old job and this makes her actions more clear and understandable. She went through a lot and it was hard for her, so I get why she acts the way she acts. I took her quite  a while to tell Alex  the truth and that made me a bit mad, especially because she postponed and postponed it.

Now, let’s talk about Alex. He comes across as this arrogant and superior boss, but deep down I felt he was different, he just needed the right woman at his side. And there she was with Charley. Their chemistry was undeniable from the start and it built more and more after every page. They were both fighting against their feelings and always stopping each other. A lot of misunderstandings along the way made this story even more entertaining and vivid.

When they talked about things, they were both really stubborn and I was angry with both of them at the time!!!

When somebody shows up, everything floods back to Charley, but she doesn’t tell Alex and then everything is revealed in the worst possible way, with Alex not believing her and wanting her to leave.

I just wanted this whole problem to be solved and the two of them finally admitting their feelings, because it was obvious to us readers. It turns out the Alex is not so innocent as well and has hidden some things, so it goes on and on…

I loved the way he always tried to find her

Oh and he was only being himself when she was around, which I think is really adorable.

An awesome story, with the right amount of drama, but still a lot of passion and flirtyness. Nikki totally understood how to engage the reader into the story and make it catchy, real and fresh. The romantic scenes were great and I just loved Charley and Alex together. I need more!!!! Brilliant job Nikki :)

Love Me For Me - by Jenny Hale

Original Cover

My own copy

The blurb:

Libby Potter has just lost the perfect job, the perfect apartment and the perfect boyfriend. Moving back to the same home town that she couldn’t wait to escape when she was younger was definitely not on her todo list. Especially as it means running into the man whose heart she broke when she left.

Pete Bennett can still walk into a room and make Libby’s world stop with just the sound of his voice – even ten years on. Only now, she is the last person in the world that he wants to see.

As everyone else welcomes Libby home with open arms, she realizes she’s missed that special closeness that comes from lifelong friendship. And, as Libby tries to make

amends with Pete, she begins to wonder whether she made the right choice in leaving all those years ago.

When an amazing career opportunity gives her the chance to leave again, Libby will have to decide what her version of perfect is… and where she really belongs.

Thank you Kim for sending me Jenny’s new novel, I was over the moon, when it landed in my inbox. Jenny is such a sweetheart and an excellent writer.

The cover of Love Me for me is absolutely stunning and beautiful. I love the couple with the balloons and the colours fit together perfectly. A romantic, girly and catchy cover, I love it 

On to this beautiful, emotional and sweet story now.

Libby left her hometown White Stone just after high school, to have a successful life in New York. She also left behind her high school sweetheart Pete. He wanted to stay and she wanted to get away. So they weren’t right for each other, weren’t they?

Then 12 years later she returns. She lost her job and her fiancé breaks up with her. Back in White Stone all the memories come back. She renovates a cottage that was part of her childhood and wants to sell it and she wants to get back to New York as soon as possible.

Of course Pete is there as well and it’s weird seeing him again. He is still hurt and talking about everything not only brings back her feelings for him, but she also seems to realise that she can’t have him. Their scenes for so adorable, emotional and real and their chemistry was there all the time. I loved reading about small gestures that happened and that they got closer again, having fun and being reminded of their past.

Pete is great. He’s caring for his grandfather like a star, has his own business and can be a real sweetheart if he wants. It seems to be hard for him to be around Libby again and sometimes he’s cold and distant, but then again he is just perfect. Libby realises more and more that what she has in White Stone isn’t bad. Firstly, Pete the love of her life is here and her mother and friends.

She is on a journey to discover what is really important in life for her and all these people in White Stone are a significant part of it. I enjoyed being part of her journey every step of the way and I didn’t like Pete being so stubborn, but I understood why he acted like that.

Pete being distant and then also rejecting her, makes it so hard and she finds herself back in new York. But can she really be happy there? She misses Pete like crazy and not only him. What will happen when she returns?

This story is a wonderful, emotional roller-coaster for Libby and Pete and Jenny found a great way to include us readers in it. I felt like being there and the scenes were so real and vivid.

Libby figuring out who she is and what she wants in life surrounded by family, friends and love. All the characters were so lovely and brought so much spark into the story. Libby is such a sweet “girl” and Pete, oh wow, let’s say I found another book boyfriend.

The ending is almost unbearable with decisions, which have to be made and then again sweet, adorable and touching. White Stone sounds like a lovely and peaceful place, I could definitely imagine living there. The beach is an amazing addition ;)

Love Me for me is the perfect and sweet story of a woman finding her way in life in such a emotional and wonderful way. A Must read, I loved it
