**** 4 stars
I seriously enjoyed reading Discovering Lucy by Laura Dunaway. This is a standalone but would love more as I loved the male characther and would love more of his story! Lucy is the kind of girl that has always been in a bad situation. Her mother was worthless and her boyfriend who first appeared to be prince charming turned out to be the biggest frog of the bunch. He was controlling and abusive and Lucy knew to get out before things when from bad to worse. She moves to the big city of NYC to start fresh.
She is able to find a roommate and starts a job at the cosmetics counter at a Department store. She quickly grabs the eye of the wealthy and dashing Knox Taylor. He is a CEO of his own business and on the board of Directors at the Department store Lucy works at. He is New York’s most eligible bachelor and when he crosses path with Lucy, he cannot stay away from her. Just being out of a relationship she is in no hurry to get into another. She is hesitant because of what she just came out of. Can she trust another man to not hurt her again?

“I closed my eyes and fought with those memories, propelling them back to the furthest part of my mind.”- Lucy

“Don’t be scared,” he whispered, “I won’t ever hurt you. Let me show you just how good I can be to you, let me show you how a real man treats a woman.” – Knox

This is one of the Best Books I have ever read. It had a mix of everything - Romance, Angst, Heartbreaking Scenes, Passion & Sexy Scenes! When you first meet Lucy, she has just come out of a Bad Relationship & has moved to New York to make a fresh start in her life. She meets Knox while she is working at her New Job. I was hooked from the 1st Page & I just have to say that, I couldn't put it down in case I missed anything. There were twists & turns that you don't see coming through the Book!
