Blurb

He wants to lose control

Between his parents’ messed up marriage and his narcissistic younger brother, Lincoln Moorehead has spent the majority of his life avoiding his family. After the death of his father, Lincoln finds himself in the middle of the drama. To top it all off, he’s been named CEO of Moorehead Media, much to his brother’s chagrin. But Lincoln’s bad attitude softens when he meets the no-nonsense, gorgeous woman who has been given the task of transforming him from the gruff, wilderness guy to a suave businessman.

She’s trying to hold it together

Wren Sterling has been working double time to keep the indiscretions at Moorehead Media at bay, so when she’s presented with a new contract, with new responsibilities and additional incentives, she agrees. Working with the reclusive oldest son of a ridiculously entitled family is worth the hassle if it means she’s that much closer to pursuing her own dreams. What Wren doesn’t expect is to find herself attracted to him, or for it to be mutual. And she certainly doesn’t expect to fall for Lincoln. But when a shocking new Moorehead scandal comes to light, she’s forced to choose between her own family and the broody, cynical CEO.

Review

4.5 stars!

From the moment I met Lincoln in the previous Shacking Up World books, I was intrigued by him. He spends his time in third world countries making life better for all who live there and is nothing like his brother or father, both who have questionable morals. After the passing of his father, Lincoln’s life is uprooted when he finds himself in NYC doing the last thing he wants his wants – running the family business.

Wren was brought in to handle Lincoln’s brother, Armstrong, who constantly gets into trouble and tarnishes the family name. She has done such an amazing job with him that she is kept on to help Lincoln transition. What follows is an entertaining and emotional romance between two wonderful characters who open their hearts to love, and I enjoyed every second of their journey!

Wren is strong, smart, and witty. She is a kickass heroine who hold holds her own and doesn’t let people push her around. She knows what she’s doing and she does it well!!

Lincoln is truly an amazing person. I loved where his heart is, and it’s endearing when he lets his insecurities shine through.

“Please, be someone I can count on, Wren. I need you to be that for me.” His thumb brushes along my knuckles, and his voice drops to a whisper. “Just please.”

He is real and relatable, and I fell a little harder each time he opened up. He is challenged in his new position and I loved his growth as he fully accepts everything thrown his way.

Wren and Lincoln start off on the wrong foot. The banter is fantastic and they give as good as they get as Wren tries to “handle” Lincoln. Even though they fight a lot in the beginning, it’s clear they are both good people and they end up working well together. A friendship slowly forms and then turns into more as the sexual tension becomes too hard to fight.

Lincoln and Wren are electric together and I believed their attraction. Their chemistry is palpable and their connection is real. They are a fantastic mix of sweet, swoony, and sexy, and I loved when they finally get together. They are a wonderfully functioning couple with full trust, acceptance, and a whole lot of love.

The storyline is well thought out and there were twists I didn’t see coming. They were shocking but worked well with the story. I loved the way the truth was revealed and I appreciated that the reactions were not over the top but rather mature and real.

The ending is everything I wanted and more. It ties everything together and gives us a future to believe in. I love that the characters are true to themselves as well as with each other. Relationships grow stronger and I enjoyed the new developments that fit well within the story.

Overall, I really enjoyed Handle with Care, and as I turned the last page, it was with a huge smile on my face and a new, sweet couple in my heart.

“You know, Wren, until you came along, I didn’t think love like this was possible.”
I smile up at him. “You just needed someone who could handle how amazing you are.”
