About this audiobook
Straight-laced and well-mannered southerner Emmy Clarke is out of her depth in New York City’s fashion world, but when she lands a job as an assistant at a modeling agency it seems like the perfect mix of business and pleasure. Working under the notoriously tyrannical Fiona Stone is a nightmare, but there’s one distinct perk: ogling the ridiculously hot male models who parade through the office—particularly rising star Ben Shaw.
Ben is everything Emmy’s not: exquisitely gorgeous, highly paid, and well traveled. He’s also got more issues than Vogue. Emmy looks after Ben on photo shoots, but she refuses to become another one of his lusting groupies. Ben finds Emmy’s refreshingly real attitude to be surprisingly attractive.
Against a backdrop of the most fashionable cities in the world, casual flirting turns into an illicit affair, but when Ben’s twisted past is revealed, and the bitter Fiona catches wind of their relationship, their careers and hearts are threatened. Here is a story of heart-stopping, toe-curling passion by the beloved bestselling author of Hard to Love, Resisting Her, and The Impact of You.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The story really kept me interested and wanting more. It really drew me in... but I have to admit that Emmy is a little insecure and weak. I don’t like weak female leads who get used by men. Wish the characters were more likeable, but good story.

Final Notes... The threesome was really out of place in this story and showed how worthless both MCs were when it comes to life.
The H was an absolute moron - if you are in a relationship with someone, you don't hand out in a hotel room with a previous lover. The fact that she f*ked him while he was passed out means that it was done without consent aka rape.
HEA or HFN? Who cares. ?1 person found this helpful
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Book terrible if you are battling with infertility. Feel bad to audiobook voice actors. Two really good actors having to piece through this mess. If they eliminated the pregnancy storyline this could have been decent.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Two horny teenagers, no plot and to top it all, the book can not load fully so you can not even reach the first half...
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Surprised that kendall ryan wrote this book. I’m a fan of hers. This audiobook was unlistenable.
