Publisher's summary

It starts out as a bet.

A way to forget about my latest in a string of bad relationships and move on. I know it's a mistake. My head and heart are just not into the game. Especially when I have a terrible knack for picking the wrong men.

Then I see him.

The gorgeous man in the dark suit, drowning his sorrows in a glass of scotch is only supposed to be one night of fun. No strings. Zero expectations. No one gets hurt.

And when I wake up alone the next morning, it appears I've gotten everything I was after. That is until I find the shiny gold cuff links he left behind. Oh, and discover that he's my new boss.

But with our ugly pasts still heavy on our shoulders, it should be easy to stay away from each other. To be one hundred percent professional. To ignore the way his heated glances set my skin ablaze, even from across the room. Yep. Impervious is my new middle name. Even if tempting is his...

great start to the series

J Saman is one of my favorite authors so I'm trying to go through her older books. Thrilled to see some of these in the plus catalog. I've briefly met some of these characters in future books so it's fun to read their stories.
Haley and Jonah are so good together! Neither looking for more than casual, love sneaks up on them. Jonah is so extra sweet, always saying and doing the perfect thing. Haley is super understanding of his past and allows him to feel without judgment. So good!
Both narrators were new to me and I enjoyed their performances. They didn't necessarily wow me but absolutely nothing negative to say either.

Perfect

Great love story . Where do they find these cover models?!! They’re gorgeous!
Storyline was good. I find it funny too. I cannot wait to finish the series.

One of the best I've listened too!

I enjoyed this story line very much. the build up was slow, sweet, hot, and suspenseful. There were also moments where I found myself emotional.

Fabulous!

I absolutely LOVED Noah and Halle's story. It was so romantic the way they each knocked the other off their feet. So life-affirming the way they made each other happy again. They had some obstacles and crazy bumps along the way, but nothing could come between them. And the smexy times were so freakin' HOT, passionate and well-written! This narration pair was perfect, they conveyed all the feels, right down to the swoony HEA. J. Saman is a one-click author for me!

On the Edge

Great storyline. Also came with some suspense that I didn't expect. I am really loving all of Julia's stories. She is so talented!

So good!

Loved from start to finish. Loveable characters. Surprising plot. Not overly spicy: just right. Such a good read.

Just right

This was a happy surprise listen for me. I enjoyed the overall story and depth of characters and their growth throughout the story. Both were grieving/healing from lost relationships (he is a widower and she was in a toxic relationship with a man who ended up being a criminal) and they both took a chance at something that started as a one night stand but ended up being a beautiful relationship that helped them heal from their pasts. Loved it!

I loved it

There were parts that were moved around in the same chapter as the book and I kind of liked how they moved it around in the audiobook, it made it flow better than the actual book

Great Second Chance Love ❤️🩺🪦💙

When Halle and Jonah meet, they are both dealing with the loss of a loved one. They move into a one night stand that turns into a fling, and then so much more.

I liked how sweet Jonah is, even while still mourning the loss of his wife. He opens himself up to Halle, who is also in the process of moving on.

There is love and some mystery in the book. It’s a good book about finding love after losing someone who meant the world to you. A heart can always grow.

The narrators do a great job!

A bit slow and very predictable.

Good job by both narrators, which is always important to me, but the story was pretty slow and very predictable. I was pretty underwhelmed by this one.
