TRUTHS ARE TOLD, LIES EXPOSED AND SECRETS REVEALED!!! BUT ARE ALL SECRETS REVEALED??? I THINK NOT!!! Wowza! Commit is the seventh book in Kelly Favor's riveting new serial, The Billionaire's Rules and it totally rocks! This is my very first time reading Favor's work but I must say, I am impressed with what I've read so far. This is a serial folks so there will be multiple installments and dare I say it, cliffhangers. Yikes! Each installment is relatively short which makes them perfect for a quick break or lunchtime read. The journey begins with Ivy Spellman, a recent college graduate who has been hired as a data entry temp by Biomatrix Pharma, one of the largest and most prestigious drug companies in Boston. Out of her group, she has been singled out by the handsome CEO of the company, Cullen Sharpe who has for no apparent reason chosen her to bring him his coffee. Ivy had always been the shy, quiet, mousy student who always sat in front, kept her head down, took meticulous notes and got good grades. She has just recently finished school and has no real job experience other than working as a part time grocery clerk so this is her first real job. She has no idea why Mr. Sharpe has taken an unusual interest in her but she only hopes that it doesn't lead to her termination. It certainly couldn't be because of her good looks because she would never be beautiful enough to attract the attention of someone like handsome, wealthy Cullen Sharpe. Even her manager, Emma Marks, seems to immediately dislike her. What the heck? After Ivy spills a cup of scalding hot coffee in Mr Sharpe's lap, she is called to his office to discuss her failure of his assigned task and to Ivy's surprise, he offers her tutelage in the form of.......discipline. What? Mr Sharpe presents Ivy with a choice but what will she decide??? She decides to leave his office but immediately regrets her decision. Ivy's indecision and inexperience torment her as she tries to resume her work. She is invited to a nearby bar for a drink after work with Lucas and several other coworkers. There is an altercation at the bar involving a very tipsy Ivy and a group of very obnoxious male patrons. The only friend she seems to have among her co-workers is Lucas who unsuccessfully tries to rescue her from their unwelcome advances. But just who arrives in time to come to Ivy's rescue? Why, handsome, hunky Cullen Sharpe, of course! Apparently, the mysterious Mr. Sharpe is very attracted to lovely, young, inexperienced Ivy and wants to do more than just discipline her at work. He spirits her away to his apartment where he rejects her after learning she is a virgin. What the heck? Ivy leaves and is more determined than ever to stay away from the fickle Mr Sharpe but can he stay away from Ivy? Apparently not! He insists that she attend a company luncheon at a nearby venue where she quite literally bumps into Xavier Montrose, President of Vellum Pharmaceuticals, a direct competitor of her boss' company, Biomatrix. And Xavier asks her for a date! Oh my! Cullen Sharpe witnesses the exchange and is literally livid. Oh my glory! Cullen Sharpe may not want her but apparently he doesn't want anyone else to have Ivy either? What is wrong with that man? What will Ivy do? Will she defy her Boss, otherwise known as Sir as he's asked to be called, and accept a date with Xavier? I think not, at least not yet. Cullen Sharpe doesn't give her a chance. It looks as if the enigmatic Mr Sharpe can't stay away from Ivy and this time, he does the deed. That's right, Ivy is no longer a virgin! She spends the night with Cullen but when morning comes, he's back to his same old cruel, arrogant self telling her that she should stay away from her. What is this guy's problem? But when Xavier is waiting outside the Biomatrix building for Ivy the next day and whisks her away for lunch, Cullen is absolutely livid. He marches into the restaurant and demands that Ivy leave immediately. And now, he showing up at Ivy's apartment in the middle of the night - uninvited! Oh my glory! Poor Ivy will soon be suffering from whiplash as a result of Cullen's mood swings and his off and on again behavior. He wants her, he doesn't want her, he wants her! But she can't turn him away! She's already in too deep! And I do mean emotionally and legally! OMG! Why is Xavier Montrose so interested in Ivy and just what is he up to??? Is the email he sent Ivy real and why did he send it? Hmmm...... And what exactly was Lucas doing in Emma Mark's office at her computer and why is he watching Ivy so closely??? After Ivy finally confronts Lucas for reading her email, Lucas delivers an unbelievable confession and a terrifying ultimatum to Ivey but is Lucas Hogan truly a FBI special agent and if so, why is he investigating Cullen Sharpe? Could there be a little corporate espionage happening at Biomatrix or murder? The truths, lies, consequences and threats are slowly taking an emotional and physical toll on Ivy. Ivy is threatened after someone sends her pictures of she and Cullen making love. The turmoil is too great and Ivy collapses while with Cullen. He takes her to his home to care for her but will Ivy finally reveal the truth to Cullen? Ivy may be in danger and Cullen claims he has a way to protect her from everything. Can Cullen truly protect her? And what will Ivy decide? I wonder??? Truths are told! Secrets are revealed! Lies are exposed! Oh My! But did Cullen reveal everything??? I think not! No spoilers from me but I will say this..... Super sexy dominant boss who may have control issues and-check! Handsome charismatic competitor who seeks revenge-check! Beautiful, shy virgin who discovers that she loves to submit-check! Office politics, drama, secrets, domination, consequences, punishment, blackmail, possible corporate espionage, a claimed FBI investigation and maybe even murder-check!

The characters are intriguing, captivating, engaging and sexy. Seriously sexy and definitely entertaining! OMG! This just gets better and better!!! I can hardly wait for the next installment!
Wow. I didn't expect that to be Cullen's secret. Good to know he's devoted and loyal to someone. Guess he's not an android after all.
I'm just as confused as Ivy as to Cullen's motives to marry her. I was quite surprised at the arrangements he made to make her happy. It was sweet but I feel like it was all part of his manipulation. I think there are obviously more secrets to be told. That ending said it all lol.
I liked this book but again it answers some questions and then just brings up 100 more. I am sure that is what keeps you reading I guess. Oh the benefits of having a lot of money, to go to Vegas and have a quick wedding and it still be as luxurious as the one they had, a girl can dream. Looking forward to continuing this series.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
I'm. hoping that this next one is the last of the series . I forget about the series and then start a new one. But I certainly recommend if you haven't already read this series Please do it keeps getting more interesting as you read.
You might be wondering why I bothered with this series after I totally ripped it apart with my review for book #4. Well, reader. I'm just really finishing it so I can give Kelly Favor her chance to really justify Cullen's actions.
Things are starting to heat up now and secrets are coming out. Will he reveal all of them and is he really falling for her or is it just a ruse. I'm intrigued to find out.
