About this listen

She should say no. Addison Davenport figures that most people likely would. But after having her life plans repeatedly derailed, she's come to wonder if her chance at marriage and kids ended with the death of her college boyfriend. So when business powerhouse Daxton "Dax" Mercier—a man who's suffered a similar loss, a man who's her first in every way—asks her to honor the fallback marriage pact they made years ago, she doesn't reject it out of hand.

Their partnership would be no more than a business transaction, but what's the point in holding out for love when it had granted her no guarantees in the past?

Maybe they could make a marriage work. Maybe. One thing is for certain: with the wounds of loss heavy on their souls and the fact that he's given up on finding the big L again, friendship would be all they'd have.

Love would never enter their picture. Ever. Not even for a moment.

Right?

Contains mature themes.

Think carefully about the impact of a narrator as this is a long listen!!

Suzanne is a brilliant writer however this book is hard to enjoy as the narrator is not her usual narrator and I’m finding the narration very grating and it is really impacting my ability to enjoy the book. In the world of audible a narrator can completely derail an author. Sorry for this review I don’t like being negative but it is truly impacting my experience.

I loved it!

I have to say I didn't want to listen to it at first. I'm glad I did. It's true it has many similar things to " The favor" but I loved that book too, so... Besides, it is very nice to see what happened to the people in "The favor" and "Shivers" after all this time.

I've gotta say, though, I don't like the mention of characters from other books. It sounds a little forced to me.

I hope there will be a book for other characters in this book. there are many interesting set-up storylines waiting to be developed.
