Kitty's Book Spot!

Naomi has always wanted one thing: an address in the Upper East Side.  Only it takes more than address to have the New York Elite accept her.  She is already a strong and powerful woman in her own right, owning a jewelry empire as she does.  What more can she do to get where she wants to be? Oliver has always had a thing for Naomi.  They grew up together of a sort, as her mother worked for his family.  She does not want an association with him at this point, though.  She wants to be accepted on her own merits.  Can he convince her to try a little with him? This story felt kind of off to me for some reason.  I liked the characters and the story just fine.  It just seemed to start off slower than the pace is usually from this author.  Overall I liked the struggle and story and would give this a 3/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This early copy was given in exchange from Netgalley and its publishers.

This is book #2, in The McGuire Brothers series .  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader understanding and enjoyment, I recommend reading this series in order. Ronan has been in love with Maddy since they were in school.  Growing up in the same small town, he came to appreciate her quirky ways.  She was busy with someone else, so he had to bide his time until it was right to ask her out. Maddy has had a lot happen to her in the last year alone.  She lost someone she loved.  She knows she must get on with her life, but it is hard to motivate yourself into action.  Ronan changes all of that by just looking at her. This story was so sexy!  I loved the characters connection right from the beginning.  Good installment for the  McGuire Brothers series .  The pace was good.  Seeing characters from the previous story was nice also.  I give this book a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP!
