Publisher's summary

Brent Mason and Hayden Winstead can't stand each other. She plans exclusive parties for her rich family's charities; he's a rough-and-tumble cop who rigs explosives for a living. Could two people be any less suited for conversation? They think not and prefer to keep it that way.

Unfortunately, their two best friends are deeply, disgustingly in love. Forced together, the mutual attraction simmering beneath the surface of Brent and Hayden's non-relationship grows with every argument until it explodes into a scintillating night of mind-blowing sex. And it won't be the last, as far as Brent is concerned.

Hayden has a secret, though. Her father's company is relying on a merger to save them from financial ruin, and only Hayden's marriage to the CEO's wealthy son can secure the deal. If she's to protect her family, she'll have to forget about Brent - and he has no intention of being forgotten.

Critic reviews

"Bring out the oven mitts to read the fan-your-face hotness." ( USA Today)

2 ½ stars. I did not like the plot and conflicts.

But parts were good.

My main problem was heroine stupidity. Twice she did something I couldn’t buy. In one of them someone does something bad to Brent and frames Hayden. When Brent confronts Hayden, she is surprised but does not deny it. She leaves him because he believed the evidence instead of trusting her. And then she does something unbelievable.

But I enjoyed the sex scenes.

I really liked the author’s first book “Protecting What’s His.”

The audiobook narrator Alice Chapman was fine.

Genre: contemporary romance

Love the Series

Fun, sexy, and engaging characters with sassy dialogue and good friends. What more could a girl ask for? Hope this helps.

Loved this enemies to lovers

This HEA enemies to lovers was so good. The fire between these two was scorching. Loved the puns throughout, it make me lol.

Asking For Trouble Audiobook Review

📚BOOK REVIEW📚
Asking for Trouble by Tessa Bailey
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
220/250
Book 4 in the Line of Duty series stars Hayden and Brent. Brent Mason is a hard working cop helping to support his family and Hayden hails from a rich family and plans charity parties. This is an opposites attract, enemies to lovers, almost forced proximity romance. Brent is absolutely what made this book. He is a hard working, honest, devoted, dirty talking man in uniform, need I say more?!?!
I have 1 more book to finish this series, but don't own it yet and am working on my current TBR list for the rest of this year, so I will have to finish this series later.

What in the hell?

The narrator’s voice! Omg. It is quite literally the worst performance I’ve ever heard. Distracting? Understatement of the year. Sweetheart, NO ONE talks the way you spoke for this book. I’m all for enunciation and speaking clearly but when it detracts from the story because it sounds like a speech impediment? Not ok. I really liked the story though!!!!

Tessa Bailey can do no wrong

Asking For Trouble is another awesome addition to the Line of Duty series. The passion in the love/hate relationship between Brent and Hayden was fantastic.

Alice Chapman isn't my favorite narrator, but she did a pretty good job voicing all the parts.

Favourite book from the series

Brent was definitely my favourite book boyfriend form this series. They were complete opposites but matched so well. I loved not just the couples storyline but also Hayden's family storyline. This was the spiciest book out of the series.

Asking for Trouble.

Good start for Brent and Hayden coming from two different backgrounds. One from high class soecity and the other from middle class. But with that much difference work their way to the many difference and coming to an understanding that love brings great things into their lives and the mistakes of their families will no define theirs.

Great book, awful narration

I love this book. I've read the kindle version multiple times. The narration, however, is AWFUL. A waste of a credit.

So weird with narration from my mom

The narrator ruined the story for me. It sounded like my mom was narrorating it so it was super awkward during all the sex scenes. The slurring speech made me want to stop listening. She was either tipsy or wears dentures. You can hear that in someone’s voice. I don’t understand how some get the role of narrating for an audiobook.
