Synopsis
Remove the Empty Spaces
Finding a solution for his boss brings Ion to the point of having his deepest fantasies come true.
Being a mailroom clerk is a stepping stone for Ion Vasile. He doesn’t plan on working in the basement at Bellamy International forever. Ion spends a lot of his time fantasizing about Adrien Bellamy, CEO and President of the company. He’s sure Adrien doesn’t know he exists.
Adrien Bellamy does know Ion exists. Even with all his money and power, Adrien isn’t sure Ion would want to go out with him. So he keeps his distance from the gorgeous mail clerk.
After Ion finds a solution to a troubling acquisition, Adrien takes a chance and asks him out. Their attraction runs red-hot, and a serious relationship becomes a possibility. But first they have to deal with their families and the differences pointed out between them. Adrien must find a way to convince Ion his lack of money and name doesn’t mean anything because Adrien loves him no matter what.
Close the Distance
Being in love isn’t always roses and sunshine.
Ion Vasile and Adrien Bellamy start dating and fall in love quickly. As their relationship grows stronger, Ion discovers the fragility of his family ties. As his mother turns against him and his brother seems to be supporting her, Ion begins to lean more and more on Adrien.
Adrien wants nothing more than to be strong for Ion and share his own family with him. Yet he’s afraid they’re moving too fast. He doesn’t want to scare the most marvellous man he’s ever met away.
When tragedy strikes, they both realise life is too short to let fear rule their choices.
Following His Footsteps
Being just like his father is what scares Winston the most.
Winston Tennant came to New York to work. After burying himself in his job for the several years, he’s afraid he’s becoming like his father. Cold and indifferent, Winston’s father only wanted his son as a way to continue the family line. When Winston came out, he was disowned. His best friends do their best to keep him from his father’s fate. And when Winston meets Patrick Gaverson, he thinks he just might have found the man who can take his mind off his work.
Patrick Gaverson never imagined that Winston Tennant, head of the London office of Bellamy International, would be interested in a mere personal assistant like him. Yet after a not so subtle set-up by his boss and his best friend, Patrick finds himself on a date with Winston. He discovers that Winston is a lot more down to earth than Patrick thought.
Falling in love so quickly shouldn’t be easy, but Patrick’s willing to take a chance that it will last more than a week.

1# Remove the Empty Spaces
Adrien Bellamy is the CEO and President of Bellamy
International, a multi-national company that acquires failing businesses and
tries to make them successful again.
Ion, who works as a mailroom clerk at that company,
knows Adrien is far out of his league but secretly admiring him doesn’t hurt.
When there are troubles with the company where Ion,
his parents, and brother work, Ion does what he is good at; working out all the
chances and possibilities of the company and write a clear solution. When
Adrien finds out who wrote this plan, he finally finds the nerve to ask Ion out
to dinner with him. They are clear about what they expect from each other and
in a short time they are inseparable. In and out of the bedroom they are so
compatible!
Now they have to convince their families they are
right for each other.
Part one is a nice start of the series. It’s a
smoothly written story, with a kind atmosphere. You could say it’s even a bit
fluffy. Both main characters are sweet and dedicated. I expected Adrien, as CEO,
to be more confident and with a bit stronger personality. But hey, it’s part
one and anything can happen. For now, it was developed enough. Ion’s best
friend Patrick was a lovable character. I guess we will learn more about him.
With a not too heavy content, it’s a nice one to read
on the sofa.
#2 Close the distance
This installment started more conflicted and
complicated. One family is happy about Adrien and Ion’s relationship, the other
is denying their son to come home anymore.
Besides this all, Adrien and Ion are going stronger
and stronger. They fit like a glove, are passionate, steamy, and sweet
together. They don’t hold back to tell the other ‘I love you’ even they are
just very strong together.
Even when there is an accident, there is a strong
resistance to accept their relationship and sexuality. Adrien and Ion will
always choose each other. We see them grow together.
I loved it. There were more conflicts and hurt in this
story. Again, a smoothly written story with engaging main characters, the
secondary ones are friendly and supportive (except some). Throughout this story
we meet their friends and I hope we will see more about them.
A lovely light story with a big promise for the
future!
#3 Following his Footsteps
Patrick, Ion’s best friend and Adrien’s PA, is
somewhat nervous. Winston, the head of Adrien Bellamy’s European section, is
coming over to talk business with Adrien and Patrick was already impressed by
this man. Winston is a grumpy one but with his best friends around he seems
more himself. When we get to know his past, we understand where it’s all coming
from.
When Winston and Patrick have dinner together
something blooms
I hoped when starting this story there would be more
development with characters, environments, and relationships and luckily there
was somewhat more. With the different elements added to the story, as addicting
and awful the family is, it turns into a catching story.
For me, Patrick and Winston’s relationship was going
too fast. The word love dropped already after just a few nights. I’m not a big
fan of instant love. There is a risk of being not convincing. I accepted it
with Adrien and Ion, twice in a row was a bit too much for me. Besides this, the
main characters were lovable and dedicated with a lot of sexual activity and
they were hot and steamy, quite appealing!
The box summarized: It was a light sweet read, the
same with the entertainment level, it was not deeply developed but acceptable
enough. There was just a light touch on heavy aspects. It had overall kind
characters and a positive vibe and vision. A read about living with a more than
comfortable amount of money, instant love, relationships, friends and trouble
with families.
