Publisher's summary

Hotshot sports editor Cole Sharpe has been freelancing for Oxford magazine for years, so when he hears about a staff position opening up, he figures that he's got the inside track. Then his boss drops a bombshell: Cole has competition. Female competition, in the form of a fresh-faced tomboy who can hang with the dudes and write circles around them, too.

Penelope Pope knows all too well that she comes off as just one of the guys. Since she's learned that wanting more usually leads to disappointment, Penelope is resigned to sitting on the sidelines when it comes to love. So why does Cole make her want to get back in the game? The man is as arrogant as he is handsome. He probably sees her as nothing more than a barrier to his dream job. But when an unexpected kiss turns into a night of irresistible passion, Penelope has to figure out whether they're just fooling around or starting something real.

Contains mature themes.

Critic reviews

" Irresistibly Yours has it all: fun banter, hot chemistry, and a couple that you just can't help but want to be together!" (Marquita Valentine, author of Love so Hot)

Love this author.

The only thing that would made this story a five star in every category was if it was read solely by the male narrator. I’m, sorry but I just don’t like the way she reads Cole. Makes him sound completely different than my mental picture of him. I always prefer my romance novels read my a sexy man anyway.

Other than that, love this story.

was not bad except for narrator.

Not sure the narrator was a good choice. Story wasn't bad but thought another narrator could have made it more interesting .

Enjoyed the book. A few suggestions some below

I wish they had gone a little more of their relationship at work. It would have been more interesting

male vs female who gets the job

Cole and Penelope were both after the same job. They were both qualified. There both go getters. She had an edge. She knew the stats like movies business.

I can say that it as not the narration that kept me rooted. There were not faults or issues just nothing that stood out.

It’s just overall good

I liked the entire book no complaints at all when it comes to the book.

An unexpected Gem

This book took me by surprise. I like a good romance here or there but this one took me by surprise how much I like it. It was funny, light and just all mushy in all the right places! It was definitely a fun read!

Just ok

I've never left a review before but this book wasn't that good to me. I am a traditional romance lover so I love all the sappy and cheesy moment but the story wasn't written well. It didn't really flow and I couldn't get into it. There was so much focus on other things outside of the actual relationship. It really didn't do it for me. The narration really didn't help the story. I liked that their was duel POV but it was read by one person. I hate when a female voice tries to play both a man and female. It sounds so weird and I think that's partly why I couldn't get into it. Not worth the credit for me.

Book is great, audio not so much

I love Lauren Layne books but this one does not have the best narration unfortunately.

Decent Listen

Like it. Nice simple listen. I wish we had a chance to go more into their heads but otherwise it was a good listen.

loved it

this book was really good. I look forward to reading more books by this author.
