About this listen

A tyrant by day, a playboy by night. That's the reputation that precedes Richard VanRyan. He lives life the way he wants, no concern for the opinion of others. He cares for no one, is completely unrepentant, and has no desire to change his ways.

Katharine Elliott works under Richard as his PA. She despises him and his questionable ethics, but endures all the garbage he sends her way, because she needs the job. Her end goal is far more important than the daily abuse and demands she tolerates from her nasty tyrant of a boss. Until the day he asks her for something she never expected. A new role with a personal contract-fiancée instead of PA.

What happens when two people who loathe each other have to live together and act as though they are madly in love? Sparks. That's what happens.

Can the power of love really change a person?

Will they survive the contract?

What do you do when the one person you hate the most becomes the one person you can't live without?

Beautiful Love Story

I picked this up randomly and was pleasantly surprised. The hero is very douchey, but be patient, everything will be better at the end, The performance was good too, they narrated it beautifully,

Predictable sappy romance at its finest

This book was pretty well written, the reading was great, I thought the story line was realistic for the most part but there was a few "as if" moments. Overall it was a good entertaining listen.

Listen all in one go

This is a funny book that had me go through the emotions with the story. Every time I laugh out loud my hubby looked at me with intrigue as I was so wrapped up in this book. I highly recommend.
