Dead-end job? Dreary apartment? Disastrous love life? Check,
check, and check. Toddler who makes it all worthwhile? Absolutely. Juggling
work, college, and the care of young Alex was never Sabrina's plan.
But Sabrina's dreams are bigger than any curve ball life can throw at her. Her top priority is keeping her small family together, no matter what the cost.
Vladimir Grigory doesn't believe in dreams. He earned his position at the top of New York's corporate ladder with his own sweat. His empire is his baby, and he'll destroy anyone who threatens it. Even the sexy employee who challenges him on every level. When the New York tabloids and the world call him the baby daddy of Sabrina's son, Vlad believes Sabrina is part of a plot to expose the secrets of his past. He threatens to destroy her future. But since Sabrina has secrets of her own, she has no choice but to agree to Vlad's marriage ultimatum.

Just my opinion~
What I expected – A sweet
and spicy, marriage of convenience, contemporary romance.
What I got – A sexy/hot, forced
marriage romance so intense it will make your blood boil and your heart melt.
From the first page
Charlotte O’Shay marks her hero as a hot blooded alpha. And her heroine is no
cream puff either. Let me tell you more about these two.
Sabrina Boyd is strong,
hard working, and determined. She’s willing to give up anything to make sure
three-year-old Alex has every advantage in life. Her problem: she’s a
one-step-forward-two-steps-back kind of girl. She’s hiding a huge secret that
could cost her everything and just can’t seem to catch a break.
Vladimir Grigory is a
Russian born, self-made billionaire. He’s tough, demanding, and doesn’t trust
anyone. He has fought hard for all he has and doesn’t care who he hurts to
protect it. His personality is infuriating, I didn’t know if I’d ever warm up
to him. Then his back-story came out and it broke my heart. It all made sense.
As these two move through
the story their lusty passion gradually turns to sweet romance, but the heat
level never diminishes. Along the way they have complications, distractions,
and set-backs from every direction. That’s where Charlotte O’Shay’s excellent
writing skills come into play. The story flows at a steady intensity that keeps
you engaged and on the edge of your chair to the end.
Congratulations on an awesome first book, Charlotte!

***********************
As a debut author, (I still
can’t believe that), you may not know Charlotte O’Shay so let me tell you a little about her.
Charlotte O'Shay was born in New York City into a big family
and then married into another big family.
The drama! The noise! The inspiration!
Negotiating skills honed at the dinner table led her to a career in the law. After four beautiful children joined the crowded family tree, Charlotte gladly traded her legal career to write about happily ever afters in the City of Dreams.
The Marriage Ultimatum is the first, standalone, story in the City of Dreams series.
Look for A Model Engagement (Book 2) and An Illicit Affair (Book 3) coming soon.
