Title: Beloved
Author: Corrine Michaels
Not
enough.
Catherine
Pope has never been enough. Every man she has ever loved abandoned
her—from her father to her fiancé. She finally accepted the fact
she would never be enough to hold any man’s heart and soul.
Then
Catherine met Jackson Cole.
When
her world literally collided with the sexy former Navy SEAL,
everything she always believed is turned upside down and left
scattered. He made her feel alive and desirable, consumed her with
fierceness and loyalty—which completely unnerved her. Jackson got
her in a way no one ever had, giving him the power to destroy her.
If
she breaks down and gives him what’s left of her battered
heart—will he protect it? Or will Catherine become an irrelevant
part of yet another man’s life?
Will
she get the one thing that has always evaded her – to finally be
someone’s beloved?
I
have a weakness for men wearing a sharp suit. Add ex-SEAL to the mix
and there you have it; my perfect book boyfriend. I knew Jackson
Cole would be added to my exclusive list before reading Beloved.
Catherine is a heroine we can all identify with. All the ingredients
for a 5 star read.
Catherine
is a woman who's life is scarred by the men in her life walking out
on her. Heartbroken and dealing with her resulting abandonment
issues, she throws herself into becoming the top of her profession.
What she didn't expect was to land a contract with a Raven Cosmetics,
who's CEO was a man she literally fell for.
Jackson
is the honorable ex-SEAL turned successful business man who is
plagued by guilt issues. He's swore off women, but is taken by
surprise when a beautiful woman literally
lands in his lap one evening. Even more surprising when the same
woman turns out to be the publicist he's hired for his cosmetic
company.
When
their worlds collide Catherine and Jackson have instant chemistry and
when they are together they sizzle! They are meant to be together but
both are dealing with emotional baggage which in turn throws their
relationship into turmoil. Catherine doesn't want to commit to a
relationship because all the men she has ever loved end up leaving
her. Jackson wants to keep Catherine close, but he carries the
weight of guilt on his shoulders for the deaths of close ones and
doesn't want to put Catherine at risk of the same fate. So he does
the only thing he knows is right...
This
is a fabulous debut by Ms Michaels. Beloved is the kind of book you
just don't want to end, so the cliffhanger is a huge positive for me
because I'm not ready to let go of Catherine and Jackson yet.
Beholden, I am patiently waiting for you.
