Publisher's summary

Sometimes with love, you have to play quick and dirty to get lucky....

I knew exactly what I was doing by setting my good-girl romance author image on fire. Becoming Reina Dare, a vixen writer who dominates the erotic fiction genre, is exactly who I was meant to be.

But Kent Kingsley is a distraction I didn’t see coming. It's a coin-flip whether I want to surrender to his sex appeal or punch him in his perfect, brooding face.

The damaged CEO of a lavish Las Vegas hotel and casino is an overly-confident, cocky playboy whose only romantic ambition is to send his women home with a smile.

The stakes have never been higher and just as my chance to catapult Reina Dare to the top is within my grasp, I risk it all. For him.

Kent makes my blood boil, and my body burn. There is no denying our chemistry is off the charts - in and out of bed. He’s every fantasy I’ve ever had.

He plays dirty, just the way I like it. But is it worth gambling my future for a chance at real love?

mom knows best

I previously read this book, but the audio version is so much better and brings the characters to life. Alexis was a thorn in my side and unreasonable at times but she grew on me as the story progressed. I loved reformed Kent from minute one. The real hero is Kent's mom imo. She was able to get through Alexis's thick hard head. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The duet narration was great

First book from this author! Loved it!

This was my first book from this author and I absolutely loved the story. I was drawn into it immediately based on the performances from Heather Firth and Aaron Shedlock, who are always amazing. The characters had depth and were real. I loved the determination of Kent's character to win back his girl. Had me hooked from the beginning. Highly Recommend. #AudiobookObsessionReviewer

Awesome Story & Narration🎧 A Smoking🔥Hot🔥Delight!

I loved everything about this book, from Heather Guimond’s wonderful writing style to the story and characters she created to the perfectly casted narrators, Heather Firth & Aaron Shedlock who truly brought the life, from the pages to your ears. This is the second book in the “A Love Between the Pages” series, can be enjoyed on it’s own but I recommend listening to the 1st book too, it is awesome too. This is Alexis and Kent’s story, Alexis Lane is an author known for her “good-girl” romance novels, she also writes Erotica novels under pen name Reina Dare. She wants to increase Reina Dare’s following so she is sponsoring the Limitless Lust in Vegas Convention. The Kingsley Hotel in Vegas is gaining popularity and she is hoping to strike a deal to hold the convention there while offering future bookings. Having no luck getting an appointment with the hospitality manager she heads to the bar for a relaxing drink. Kent Kingsley is the CEO of The Kingsley Hotel, he with the help of his siblings run it and have plans to make it better than ever. He is sitting in the hotel bar when a beauty catches his attention she sits a few stools away and he knew he had to have her and her sexy heels. Alexis first blew him off, she started to warm up to him when a woman approaches him. Thinking she is his girl friend she ups and leaves. He tried looking her up but there was no room registered in her name. I loved how everything plays out in this book, how Alexis does not give him the time of day and how he does not give up. Just when he thinks he has her she pushes him away even further. Got to love strong willed people, Kent even recruits his family to help him win her over. There is never a dull moment in this book, the story flows naturally and it is plotted out nicely with plenty of drama, angst, some laughs, heartfelt moments and smoking hot romance. Heather Guimond thank you for another great story!

Heather Firth and Aaron Shedlock are talented narrators and voice artists. They do an awesome job portraying the characters, humanizing them, giving each their own voice and personality, as well as heart and attitude. You could hear how much heart they put into their work as they capture and project the characters emotions into their performance. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another fabulous listen🎧

Wonderfully written and Spectacular narration!

I enjoyed this story. It had me hoping and wishing for these characters to be able to get together. When they meet they are like oil and water. Alexis/Raine has a strong personality and she is NOT afraid to show it. I have never seen a man have to work harder in his life for a woman. Kent did wonderfully. He didn’t shy away from her attitude or her shoes. He stood up and took all she had to give and was happy about it.

I loved his family! They are such a great add to the story! Sibling love is strongly at work here. Not to mention the parents. I loved that they all became so involved. We also get to see and spend some time with Stacy and Gage (from book 1).

This is my second book by this author. I loved and enjoyed this one. I did listen to this on audio. Heather Firth and Aaron Shedlock are the narrators. They each did an amazing job with these characters. Making this a joy to listen to.

Fun and Steamy Romance!

I really enjoyed this fun and steamy romance. Kent Kingsley, runs the family hotel/casino. Alexis is a romance novelist but uses the pen name, Reina Dare, for her more erotic books. She is visiting the hotel to talk to Kent about holding an author event there. They get off on the wrong foot when they meet unexpectedly in the hotel bar. Kent is arrogant and cocky and offends Alexis despite their attraction. Kent is determined to get a second chance with Alexis. She is independent and spirited and the more she fights their attraction, the more determined Kent is to make her his. They both have pasts that cause them to be wary, and their relationship is a push/pull of emotions and steamy sexual tension. This is a rollercoaster journey with several twists that kept me totally engaged.
Narrators Heather Firth, and Aaron Shedlock did a great job bringing this story to life. They portrayed both Alexis and Kent with all their strengths and vulnerabilities, beautifully, setting the stage for all the fun, and passion to come. I was easily lost in their performance.

Love this family!

This was my first listen by this author and I could not have loved this family more. Their scheming and “asshole”-ishness was hilarious. I highly recommend this book for a fun, hot listen. Gotta love HEA!!!

I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Run don't walk to get this book!

I asked to receive this free review Audible book and wrote this unbiased review. Omg this such a spectacular story that I hated to see it end! I was engrossed with this story the entire time. Thank you, Heather Guimond, for giving me such a delightful escape. You know sparks are going to fly when 2 very dominant and independent people meet and there is instant chemistry between them. Kent and Alexis journey to love won't be instantaneous and it will hit many bumps. Their bickering will have you laughing out and at times. Alexis will soon meet a challenge that sets her world spinning and makes her decide to stay as far away from Kent as she can. Kent and his 2 brother are constantly bickering and fighting but are always there for each other. His whole family will try to help him win over Alexis.

Aaron Shedlock and Heather Firth were meant for this story. They are excellent storytellers and bring the story to life. Believe me, they will hold your attention throughout this book. At first Aaron gives Kent a very cocky playboy, "I rule the roost" voice. Eventually his voice becomes more caring and loving and even desperate. Heather gives Alexis a scrappy, "I can take care of myself" voice. Her voice then expresses self doubt, indecisiveness, and love. Both narrators really bring out the emotions of these characters.

I highly recommend this Audible book. I wish I could give it more than five stars. The author and narrators have given you a story that will make you laugh and also tug at your heart.

I really, really liked this story!

Alexis and Kent are very different people... but there is something that draws them to each other from their very first meeting.

He’s a hotel owner and she is a writer looking for a place to host a book convention. She has two writing personas, one sweet and one dirty. He’s wowed from the first time he sees her... she thinks he’s hit, but a jerk...

What happens is a great story of how two people can be attracted but be off center and don’t think they mesh. There’s way more to the story... and it’s quite fun listening to find out what happens!

Heather Firth and Aaron Shedlock are both very good at what they do and together... they’re awesome.

Not bad

I feel that this book wasn't bad. The narrator's were both great in this audiobook. I feel that the story could of been shorter, the female character at times did get on my nerves, and a lot of thing in the story was predictable. My feelings were up and down in this because at one point I was like ok ok I'm liking this and then the next I'm like really that's the how this story is going. That being said I feel that people will like this and I just think it's not bad.

Fun in Vegas!

Entertaining from the opening line, Heather Guimond is a winner with book 2 of her Love Between the Pages series. This features Kent and Alexis. Kent is a hotel owner in Vegas and Alexis is booking his hotel to host an author signing. From the first meeting, we see the sparks fly, but not necessarily in a good way. Kent is that character that immediately got under my skin. He is annoying, yet charming. We all know people like that, and you want to like him, but he just has that way that bugs you! Alexis is the perfect heroine! She is confident and not afraid of anything. Strong woman always are a plus for me. Put these two together and it's combustible. It's a fast, fun, listen, includes some steamy passion and the crazy, yet lovable family that will make you laugh all the way through. Guimond has a true fan with me and I can't wait til there is another audio!

Give this story the team of Aaron Shedlock and Heather Firth and I know it's going to be incredible. Shedlock sneaks himself into Kent, gives us the arrogance in one breath and then eases us into his loving side all with the tone of his voice. Firth shines as Alexis, from her confidence to her uncertainty, her annoyance and her love. It comes through and lets us have all the feels. Together they have created the magic I love to hear.
