I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Golden Touch, book 2 in the Giltmaker series gives readers Nash Giltmaker story. In this installment readers follow along as Nash and his love interest, Livia attempt to ride the waves of their complicated lives. The story offers a perfect blend of humor, suspense and steamy moments.

Livia works at the Giltmaker Brewery as Lyle Giltmaker's assistant. She also lives on the compound where the Brewery is located.  Now while her boss is recovering from a heart attack, his son Nash takes a leave of absence from his job in Boston to help run the brewery. Livia his hiding from her ex, hence the reason she works at the Brewery. So when Nash arrived dressed like he belonged in a motorcycle gang, Livia got scared, called the police and him arrested. Now that's what I call a fun start to their inevitable romance.

Livia has made a lot of poor choices in the past when it came to relationships. Now she is on the run as her previous relationship went sour in more ways than one. So although Nash is handsome, sexy and just her type she dares not venture down that road. Besides, being on the run is not conducive to any type of relationship. Nash realizes that Livia is running scared. He's intrigued by her, especially after recognizing her as the woman he flirted with at a bar a few months ago. However, he respects her boundaries and is willing to get to know her on her terms. I really appreciated how he made efforts to ensure she felt safe and secure.

Nash and Livia were a perfect match, seamlessly fitting into each other's lives. However, the story's focus on the suspense surrounding Livia's ex left little room for their romance to develop. After all, it's hard to find time for love when a relentless ex is on the hunt for you.

Readers witness moments of acceptance and healing between Nash and his father, Lyle. This was a great moment for both parties, and it brought about some well needed changes. 


Overall, a lovely story and one I would recommend to fans of romantic suspense.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading
