I can't stand it. I can barely keep myself under control. I can't imagine what the office might think . . .
My life is crumbling all around me. My dad is dying of cancer, my job barely pays the bills, and I have crushing student loans hanging over everything.
But things change when I meet a mysterious man online. He's sexy as hell, passionate, and ripped in all the right places. I can't take my eyes off the dirty texts and pictures he sends me.
It turns out that my mystery date is notorious reclusive billionaire Shane Green, and he's planning on buying a smartphone app that I wrote myself. Now I'm stuck working for the man who looks at me like he wants to tear my clothes off every day. He's controlling and incredibly private, and he loves pushing my buttons with that cocky grin.
There are new rules, rules which threaten everything around me. I need to figure out how to deal with my overwhelming desire for my new boss or else risk giving him more than I bargained for.
**Undersold (ARC) was graciously provided to me by the author, B.B. Hamel, for my honest review.**
Undersold is a heart-warming, yet tragic, story about Shane and Amy. Two people whose lives appear to be vastly different, at first, slowly turn out to be both from a kindred childhood. Shane Green, a gorgeous billionaire with stunning gray eyes, is a young, highly-accomplished owner of a popular technology company, one which was created with very specific reasons. Amy Woodall, a cute computer-programmer, is the creator of a unique computer program with very specific reasons as well. This story, for me, involved a wide range of emotions. I felt joy, frustration, sadness with tears and certainly lots of warmth.
Shane and Amy meet by means of a very unique scenario, and, throughout the story, begin to rely heavily upon each other, as each begin to develop deep feelings for the other. Shane, who is super-secretive and private, simply wants to be normal. Amy, who is full of self-doubt, begins to love Shane and craves to know him more. As the new-found lovers progress through their budding relationship, they begin to discover more and more about each other. What was once thought of as simply a sensual relationship filled with secrecy, turns into one which has both Shane and Amy craving one another for the love and support they so desperately need.
Shane and Amy’s story was quite the page-turner! I found myself cheering with glee as well as shouting, “Are you kidding me?!” There are some tragic moments where I found myself reaching for the box of tissues. I also found myself wanting to simply reach out and give certain characters lots of big hugs!
While I had hoped for more depth of each character, more overall depth to add to the flow of the storyline, and despite odd sentence flow and word choice, at times, I thoroughly enjoyed reading Undersold, by B.B. Hamel, and really recommend it!
“His smile broke across his face like waves against a lifeboat.” Shane, Undersold, B.B. Hamel.
