**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.
