Three young women make a pact in high school—

She's a high-tech boss who lost it all...


Ivy Jensen was the darling of the tech world, right up until her company fell apart completely after she trusted the wrong person. Her reputation in tatters, she finds herself back in the tiny apartment she grew up in, living with her mom. When a group of angel investors offer her a meeting, she knows she has to come up with the new big idea or her career is over.

He's an up and coming coder...

Heath Marino has always been fascinated with writing code. He's worked on a dozen games and apps and is considered one of the industry's more eccentric talents. But now he's back in New York to spend time with his grandmother. She was known as one of the city's greatest matchmakers, and he wants to know why. Surely there's some kind of code in his grandmother's methods, and he's going to find them.

When Ivy meets Heath it's instant attraction, but she's got a career to get back to and he just might be her on-ramp. It could be a perfect partnership or absolute heartbreak.

My Review

Start Us Up (Park Avenue Promise, #1)
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a fun and surprising romance for me. I appreciated that Ivy is a powerhouse in the tech industry and loves to create apps to help people work smarter. When her last company went bust, well she feels like a failure and returns home to figure out her next steps. Heath is passionate about coding but isn’t really driven to have his own company. He needs someone like Ivy to help his latest project and is excited by the possibilities when he meets her. These two seem like an unlikely duo with Heath always optimistic and Ivy is always looking at the challenges ahead. But together, they prove to be a powerful duo. The nuances to this journey added a lot of depth and drama to the story. There are some unexpected twists which really helped them build a relationship while they both are figuring out what they want out of life and a relationship. What a fun and refreshing romance. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
