ABOUT THE BOOK
Emerson Kingsley fell in love on a Central Park bench.
After months of watching serial dater Maddox Bailey from afar, the quiet heiress couldn’t help herself.
She believes that the moment they meet will be spectacular—that she could be the one to slow him down—if she ever finds the nerve to speak to him.
Until the day the universe places them in the same New York City taxicab and Emerson realizes that her daydreams are too far from her reality.
When she learns Maddox is her newest employee at her father’s recording label, she fights her desires and tries to ignore his disarming smile.
But even Emerson can’t deny that real-life Maddox is better than anything she could’ve dreamed—sexy, passionate, and full of possibilities.

This is my first book by this author and I did enjoy it. It is well written, has very interesting characters and a fascinating story to tell. For me this stories theme seemed to be about her father. Emerson, the female lead has a VERY complicated relationship with her father. Yes their is romance and lots of sex with the male lead, Maddox but this story is in her POV only. We never hear from Maddox at all in this story. It is largely Emerson's journey and its about her growing up, finding love and finding acceptance from her father.
Emerson is a people watcher. She is shy, quiet and very young. She is 23 to Maddox's 34 and sometimes it felt like she was way too young for him. She is a runner. Some of that is her father sending her away when her mother dies and some of it is hurt from a previous relationship. Its what she knows and so when life gets too much she runs away and she runs out on Maddox and her friend, Hollis a lot.
This story takes place in the music business. Emerson is the daughter of a man who has his own music production company. She adores music but her destiny is the run the company when her dad retires. Her best friend Hollis works and lives with her. He knows her best of everyone and he was a wonderful support system for her. At times I thought Em suffered from depression. She locks herself in her room a lot and uses it to escape from life.
Maddox is someone she watches in the park. Not really like a stalker more of that he entertains her.. He ends up sharing a cab with her one day and that starts their serendipity story when he ends up working for her at her company. At times I did not like Maddox. I felt he used her attraction to him to manipulate her. I also felt he tried to make her jealous with how he treats this other woman in HR.
But Emerson shines in this story and its what kept me reading this story as I watched her grow and change and decide what she needed and wanted in her life and her relationship with her father. I really found it a fascinating story and enjoyed it a lot. But it was more about chick lit for me than the romance angle.
