Publisher's summary

What happens when the world's fiercest fashion editor learns she's pregnant—and her distracting assistant is the only one she can turn to? This wildly popular age-gap lesbian romance mixes humor and chaos with self-discovery.

Jules Moretti is newly single, an aspiring writer, and the hyper-competent assistant to the most powerful woman in fashion. It's a tough job, but her ice queen boss won't settle for less than perfection.

Vivian Carlisle helms the internationally revered fashion publication Du Jour. She might be smack in the middle of a messy divorce, but you have to make sacrifices to be the best. That's what she tells herself, anyway.

When the unthinkable happens, Vivian's regimented world is turned upside-down. Her life is about power, success, and dominance—not a baby!

This single, shocking moment throws boss and assistant together into an intimacy neither could have imagined. With their lives in chaos, every day brings a new challenge bigger than the last. But everything will work out . . . just so long as they don't do anything totally ridiculous.

Great story. Perfect narrator.

Story line -great!
Performance- perfect!
Characters - interesting and 3 dimensional. I’ve listened to it three times! I love this book

I couldn’t put it down! Great story!

I’m a big fan of Roslyn Sinclair she is amazing! I read the part one and part two of the books in two days I couldn’t put them down and then I found out there was an audible version. Wow! Abby Craden did an awesome job of narrating the book. And once again, I found myself listening constantly until it was done great book great erotic scenes all in all a great story.

Better the second time…

… with Abby Craden’s performance! I never consume a book twice, but this is a great story and AC’s narration really brings the characters to life.

Devil wears Prada add 🔥🔥🔥🔥

It starts slow, ice queen is infuriating. But I hung in there cause I’m a big Rosalyn Sinclair fan. The gears shifted and I could not put it down. WOW 🔥🔥🔥just wow! The turn of events really brought the story together. If you don’t like passionate sex then don’t bother. A+++ for The sexual tension, hunger & passion all written very tasteful. Added bonus, it’s a series!!

Fantastic!

I was hooked at the first sentence. Love these ladies and was sad for this book to end. Great story and narration. Definitely worth a listen! On to book 2.

Yes Yes Yes!!

Everything about this book is amazing!! The storyline the characters the detail!! The way in which it was narrated!! This is not your typical age gap love story!! Super super steamy!! I can’t say enough good things!! I didn’t want the book to end!!! Lucky for me it didn’t have to! On to book two!!

Meh

I thought is was a good listen and honestly is was. I'm just tire of the deer in head lights younger woman and the you are my first female experience boss bish older woman. please make Jules have a lil more spine in the next book.

AMAZING!!!!

All I can seat is you will not be disappointed in this story! So ready to hear the second book!

Excellent writing, good performance

It could be me..,Roslyn Sinclair with Abby Craden should be a knock-it-out-of-the-park combination...I liked it but I didn't LOVE it. It's well written and well performed, don't get me wrong. And every review is positive...it's probably just me.

Our ice queen is very frosty with hints as to why, but not very likeable. Our assistant is very capable, very introspective and pretty anxious, and very likeable. The best supporting character comes in towards the end and will make you laugh out loud. She's a gem.

I love ice queen tropes but for me it gets sketchy when they hook up with their underlings. Its a boundary thing and I cringed through 3/4 of the book because, well, it's a boundary thing. That being said, it is addressed eventually.

As for the sensual scenes? My reactions were more of the, "Really?!!!" nature, than those of a melting nature.

Abby, not every chapter ending needs to have the cliffhanger inflection. I love you and your work and probably paid for half of your car with all that I listen to so it's out of love and not being a jerk that I make that recommendation. I'll continue listening even if you change nothing :)

All this being said, I'm going to listen to the follow up book. I bet you I'll LOVE it. So even though I just liked this one, I'm still recommending it.

This will go down as a classic

This series will go down as a classic. Roslyn Sinclair wrote the greatest DWP fanfic, and has now penned an outstanding novel inspired by that fanfic. This audiobook is a must-have.
