This was a good book and I enjoyed the storyline and getting to know the characters personally. Nari has gone through a lot in her life, but so have many other people. A some point you have no choice but to grow up in life and make lemonade with the lemons you have been dealt. Most women want a man like Kincaid who worships the ground that she walks on. Whew, I know I do...IJS. Loved this book.

You Could Do Damage dives deep into navigating between passion, betrayal, survival and loyalty. When business and the matters of the heart collide, trouble seems to come knocking at the door in this riveting book.

The FMC (Nari) is in a stream of bad circumstances after bad circumstances. She always seems to have one foot in and one foot out. However, one night turns her situation around, but like they say everything that glitters isn’t gold and she has to navigate through this new path while also guarding her heart.

The MMC (Kincaid) is about family, business and loyalty and he stands by that. However, due to his family’s business and some covert secrets that could damage his family’s reputation, he is in need for a wife, uncomplicated and contractual.

When Nari and Kincaid met for the first time, attraction was in the air and the answers to their problems were just a breath away. Kill two birds with one stone (marriage) will eliminate both characters problems, but they triumphed over one battle, only to be thrust into another.

Do I recommend? Yes!
