I really wanted to love this book, but while it started out great, it kind of hit a plateau and I struggled to read through some parts. I had a hard time with some of Carter's actions when it came to dealing with Lillian and his feeling for her and I just could not really connect with Lillian. I'm sure that many people will really enjoy the book, but there was something missing for me in this one. The ending however did leave me anxious to read the book.Complimentary copy received in exchange for an honest review. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Let me tell you how pleasantly surprised I was with this book! It is not the normal cookie cutter Alpha Rich meets Average Virtuous Jane :-) The heroine is funny, real and ambitious. I felt she was no push over and did not back down from her own ambitions and lose herself to him completely. The male lead is wonderful. He's full of emotion and not one dimensional. I enjoyed the fast pace of this book and how it did not have a lot of fluff interfering with the flow of it. The author's writing is wonderful and descriptive. I feel like I can really envision what she was portraying with the people and places. I laughed, I cried, I got mad, I got sad and now I feel eager to read the next book in this series.Lily is an independent (truly independent) med student completing med school and residency in a prestigious program in the tropics. She is naive but knowledgeable. A rather releatable and strong female lead. Carson is a self made billionaire who is driven by events from his past to do good for others facing the same realities. You can feel how truly philanthropic he is and how much his charities are not just for show but genuinely something he is passionate about.I'm not sure how to describe this book with out giving it away. It's not your run of the mill character personalities for this genre as well as more realistic in a lot of aspects. Check this book out. I can't wait to see if a HEA is in the cards for these two. They truly deserve it :-)
