Publisher's summary

What if you fell in love with the same man who wanted to fire you?

Billionaire Sawyer Drake made it abundantly obvious he didn't want an assistant. Traumatized by a fatal accident, he stayed to himself, shunned human contact, and would rather die than open up to another person - much less a beautiful college woman. His inner wounds ran deeper than the scars on his face.

When Ivy Wolfe ran away to Alabama to nurse a broken heart, the last thing she expected was to fall in love again. She needed a job to support her college expenses, and even though the salary for an assistant position in the home of a billionaire appeared too good to be true, she ignored the red flags and charged ahead.

With insecurities of her own to overcome, she found working for a self-absorbed recluse much harder than she anticipated. Determined to get through to Sawyer, Ivy wrote a letter that would change the course of their relationship.

But finding love with Sawyer was like playing with fire. Would she regret the day she hired on as his assistant? Or would she find the love of her life?

Unwanted Assistant

Very good book, if a bit heavy. Too much of it was spent on the anguish. Learning to love Jesus Christ was of huge importance to the overall story. Almost 5 out of 5 stars.

Real emotions

Gripping story about loss and the courage it takes to be vulnerable again. Well narrated, not overly drawn out, and clean interactions between characters.

A great book to listen to!

The narration, by Em Eldridge and Cody Roberts, was unique to other books I’ve listened to. It made the characters come alive, as they read it! Though said to be a modern re-telling of Beauty & the Beast, I think it is even better than the fairy tale! Two people, both with their own insecurities and built-up emotional walls for self-preservation; but so in need of someone to truly love them. Follow their struggles, as they both grow into what God has for them. If I could give this more than 5 stars, I would give it 10+!

a very good read

This story has so many good qualities about it. Including strife in overcoming loss as well as dealing with a deformity and how people perceive themselves and other people treat people who are different from them. This is a different twisted on Beauty and the Beast.
