About this listen

Laurie Holcombe is out of a job, out of luck, and out of time. When a prestigious law firm hires her as an assistant to one of its senior partners, it feels like she might finally get back on her feet. All she has to do is put up with the whims of her infuriatingly icy boss, Diana. How hard could that be?

Diana Parker is Atlanta's top lawyer and isn't afraid to let everyone know it. She's driven, ruthless, demanding, and stuck in a failing marriage. Too bad she can't run her personal life as well as she runs her ordered office.

When a young assistant shows up with bright blue eyes, a cute Southern accent, and a streak of pink hair, Diana's sure she's all wrong for the job. And yet something seems to be pulling her and Laurie Holcombe together, drawing them into a secret, thrilling dance that's far too dangerous for a boss and employee.

Can they make rules for this powerful attraction, a way to keep each other at arm's length? But how do you resist the irresistible?

Contains mature themes.

A perfect pairing of story and narrator

Laugh out loud moments and I really love the character development. Narrator really makes the characters come alive and makes a meal of the hilariously funny moments. Definitely one of my new favourite books.

Hooked

Ok, this one had me up all night. I ate it up. If you're into lots of spicy scenes with a bit of power play, this one will do it for you. Narration is on point, very sexy.

Is it hot in here or is it just me?

Clearly drawn characters. Hot, hot storyline. Laurie Holcombe is such a likeable person whose life has dealt her more than her share of hard knocks. Diana Palmer, to all outward appearances, has everything. At least she thought she did. Until she met Laurie…

Hot!

The narrator did an excellent job! Very entertaining story with good commentary on sexism in the workplace and internalised homophobia.

Perfect

I love this book, it’s pure perfection. I would never have read it if I had known it was a coming out story ,as I normally find this arch boring, but this book it just so well done!

One of those books I wanted to love

I purchased this book knowing very little about it but based on the hype about it. I enjoyed the book but didn't find the characters had much depth or take me on a journey and I am not sure why but I couldn't pick what one of the main characters looked liked the whole time, not sure if it was the southern accent or not.
Just for those that don't know it is also a coming out story with a dom and sub sex story to it.
