About this listen

Driven and efficient businesswoman Vivienne Alexander reluctantly finds herself at a speed-dating night after her friend buys her a ticket. It'll probably be a waste of time anyway, she tells herself. She doesn’t need a relationship to make her whole.

So, when an alluring stranger with bright smiles and a riot of auburn hair predicts Vivienne will be in her bed by the end of the night, she’s not sure which is more surprising: the sheer cockiness or the thrill that shoots through her.

Free-spirited temp Carla Cooke loves living life to the fullest but has decided it’s time to put down some roots. She’s pumped to start her new job working for a finance company until she discovers who she’ll be working for. Who knew the icy woman she’d teased at speed dating would be her temporary boss?

Now sparks and daggers are both flying. How can this possibly end well?

A lesbian age-gap story that puts some extra sizzle into an office romance.

Well Written, Poorly Narrated

I started this with high hopes a biased investment as an Aussie (with the book being set in New Zealand).

I really wanted to like it, but DNF’d with about 30 minutes to go. It just didn’t pull me in as much as I wanted it too.
If you love over the top wit and banter, this book is for you. I also really enjoyed the two protagonists sharing their trauma history in a healthy and open manner, and not making it the crutch of their personalities or relationships.

In regard to the narrating, Silvie Taylor sounded like a news reporter and there was no change in tone or inflection between characters, I did however adore the kiwi accent!

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
