Hi!” I grin at Harley, Griffin’s personal assistant. I’ve spent more hours than I can count talking to her on video calls and setting up my move to New York. And you what? Strike up a conversation with them and see if they suggest taking it further?” I look at Harley, images of sleazy guys slipping off their wedding rings swirling in my mind. This book is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places, and incidents are either products of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, events, or locales is entirely coincidental. Once it got to the part with Vogue and the breakdown of their relationship I couldn’t get past Griffin’s decisions nor the huge twist. I found this to be a huge twist that just didn’t meld well or make sense. This was a powerful story full of faith, trust and love that blew me away. I laughed, cried and raged as I followed along through the stages of the union being created by Maria and Griffin. This was the best book yet in The Men Series. A real heart-clenching HEA not to be missed. This book now holds a special place in my heart!

I fold the shirt and place it in my suitcase. “He brings it out of me. I find him so...” I screw up my face and let out a tiny scream. She turns and busies herself with some more papers in her bag. If I weren’t so drawn to looking at her whenever I’m near her, then I wouldn’t notice the subtle tensing in her shoulders. Her eyes widen, and her lips part at my suggestion, as though I've spoken out of turn. She takes a moment before responding. Reed is one of those guys who always has different female company. None of whom he cares to ask the names of. It seems to suit him. He comes across as happy as a pig in shit when we get the chance to catch up. It’s not as often as we used to. Not since he moved to LA to run for Governor. But in politics, anything can change. I know for a fact he has his sights set on the New York Mayor’s office. And after my meeting there this morning to discuss some planning I’m applying for downtown, I’d say he’s in with a shot. The entire staff there seemed on tenterhooks. Hushed conversations, worried glances. There is definitely a shake-up on the horizon. I take a sip of the sweet, fiery liquid. It’s grapefruit with a hint of ginger, and completely delicious.She finishes cleaning my blazer and straightens up. Her gaze drops to my forearms where I have rolled my shirt sleeves up, and her lips purse as she snaps her eyes up to meet mine. Yeah. That would not go down well.” Harley snorts. “He’s a control freak, as you’ll no doubt find out, Maria. If it’s not perfect, then he demands to know why.” I reach across the table without thinking and grab her hand. I know all too well what it’s like to have your trust completely betrayed by someone who is supposed to love you. Of course not.” I smile in the way I’ve been told makes me look charming, but Maria has already turned away. Maria. It’s a pleasure to see you in person again. I can’t tell you how excited we are to have you here, joining us at The Songbird.” He places his other hand over mine, completely trapping it between his. “Please, call me Griffin. I hope your first night was comfortable?”

Hang on.” I hold up a hand and take a bigger gulp, placing my glass down on the table with a loud sigh as I look at Suze. “I’m sorry, I think I needed that for this conversation.” Yeah, well. Expect some guys around tomorrow to improve the insulation. It should help muffle the noise next time you choose to entertain.”

Suze drops her voice. “I did indeed. I suspected Curt had been having extra company, shall we say, after I had to go to the doctor for something that turned out to be a sexually transmitted infection.” Griffin is a control freak and likes everything done a certain way. When the new spa manager sets foot in his hotel sparks fly as she continuously stomps on his control.
