If You Just Say Yes

After she is bumped from New York to Cleveland, she vows to regain control of her life. Wesley Abbott is exactly what she does not need – gorgeous and oh so yummy. Wesley is everything that Michelle wants in a man but Michelle is reluctant to become involved with someone she works with. Michelle’s feelings for Wesley grow as they work together and spend time together.

Wesley Abbott is ready to end a dead end relationship. He is ready for something more, something real. Family obligations also trouble Wesley. Meeting Michelle Michaels is just the catalyst Wesley needs. Wesley wants Michelle but she keeps pushing him away. When a chance to collaborate on a story comes up, Wesley is reluctant to work with Michelle. Wesley does not want Michelle in harm’s way and will do whatever it takes to protect her.

Reon Laudat’s If You Just Say Yes is an emotionally charged book. Michelle and Wesley both have emotional baggage to get over before they can commit to one another. Ms. Laudat has created two very real characters that seem to jump off the page. The familial situations that Wesley and Michelle have will touch the reader.
