Review: Captivating the CEO (The Challenge Series) by Sara Daniel #romance

The Blurb

When live-for-the-moment massage therapist Willow Jeffries bursts into Colin Vanderhayden's office, she makes it her mission to loosen up the future-focused CEO, knowing each moment of the present is too precious to waste. Despite her immediate attraction, the only future she can offer is one full of heartache.

The last thing Colin needs is a flighty woman messing up his carefully-constructed plans, but her heavenly massages and addictive personality prove hard to resist. But he has no idea how sick she is.

No longer able to ignore her life-threatening medical condition, Willow slips away to spare Colin a miserable future with her. Is Colin willing to sacrifice his well-laid future plans to get Willow back?

My Review

This emotion and passion filled novella proved satisfying. I thoroughly enjoyed the immediate spark between earthy Willow and corporate (work obsessed) Colin and the progression of their relationship into something deep and potentially substantial. 

Ms. Daniel did a marvelous job of conveying Willow’s need to spare Colin from the loss he would endure if he fell in love with her. I thought this was one of the most selfless gifts a person could give to another. To spare him the pain of loss.

But her selfless act ends up hurting him and the way Colin deals with Willow’s heart condition had tears in my eyes.

A wonderful story that I recommend to everyone, especially if you want to learn a little about the life of someone living with congenital heart disease.

I give this book five out of five heart shaped chocolate bars.

I purchased this book from Amazon.
