This Thing Between Us
By: Holly C. Webb
Parker O’Neill is a man with the world at his feet. Son of the CEO of O’Neill’s International, he is ready to take over as head of the company, once his father retires in six months’ time.
However, Parker has earned himself the ultimate playboy reputation, and not everyone thinks he is ready to take control of the company that he was groomed for all his life.
Given an ultimatum that he has to settle down if he wants to take over from his father; Parker decided the only way to solve his problem, is to pay someone to play the part of his dutiful wife.
Alice Whitman is a hard working girl, with a kind heart. Raised by her grandmother after losing her parents, she knows what its like to lose everything.
Sophia, Alice’s grandmother, is getting older and growing weaker by the day. Alice is the only one Sophia has, so it falls to her to do whatever it takes to help her beloved Gram.
When Parker makes Alice an offer he thinks she can’t refuse, he is stunned to find that money doesn’t always mean you get your own way. However, Alice soon realizes Parker might be the one person that can help her when she needs it most.
Can they make their arrangement work without anyone finding out the truth, or will this thing between them turn into something neither of them expected it to be?
This is my first book by Holly that I’ve read. It was so
good!! Just the type of read I needed.
Holly created two worlds that collided perfectly even though
they refused to accept each other at first.
Parker being the spoiled rich guy. Never any consequences.
Never caring about what he does or who he does it with. And just never caring
about anyone else period. But he gets stuck with this life altering ultimatum
and the only one able to help is this small town coffee waitress.
Poor guy seems like such a prick at first! I really had
quite a few “what the f*ck, dude!” moments. But then I fell in love with him
just as Alice did.
Alice… stubborn, hardworking, hard headed. Just what Parker
needed even though he didn’t know it when they first formally met. She’s such a
good girl. Always trying to do the right thing to help her only living family,
her Gram. Working doubles three times a week, and busting her butt at life in
general.
I felt so bad for how Parker treated her in the beginning of
this story. Hence the multiple “wtf?” moments stated above. But she was strong
and stayed true to herself and then realized how much of a puzzle piece Parker
was that fit perfectly in her life.
This novel made me feel so much!! I was so angry, sad,
happy, heartbroken, and I even fell in love! I thoroughly enjoyed this
beautiful tale. I highly recommend it. It is available NOW so go grab your
copy!!!
