Publisher's summary

When a gorgeous young dancer walks through his door, a strip club owner must decide whether to follow his rules or his heart in the third novel by the author of One Tiny Lie and Ten Tiny Breaths.

Owning a strip club isn't the fantasy most guys expect it to be. With long hours, a staff with enough issues to keep a psych ward in business, and the police regularly on his case, twenty-nine-year-old Cain is starting to second guess his unspoken mission to save the women he employs. And then blond, brown-eyed Charlie Rourke walks through his door, and things get really complicated. Cain abides by a strict "no sleeping with the staff" rule. But being around Charlie challenges Cain's self-control…and it's been a long time since any woman has done that.

Twenty-two-year-old Charlie Rourke needs a lot of money, really fast, in order to vanish before it's too late. Taking her clothes off for men makes her stomach curl but Charlie tells herself that at least she's putting her acting and dancing skills to good use. And though her fellow dancers seem eager to nab their sexy, sophisticated, and genuinely caring boss, she's not interested. After all, Charlie Rourke doesn't really exist - and the girl pretending to be her can't get distracted by romance.

Unfortunately, Charlie soon discovers that developing feelings for Cain is inevitable, and that those feelings may not be unrequited - but losing him when he finds out what she's involved with will be more painful than any other sentence awaiting her.

WOW!! Fantastic in every way

Narration was 10 stars, story was 10 stars. It was emotional, very believable, and yes you guessed the ending, but you usually do with a story like this. I just loved everything about it. This is the best one in the series by far. Sebastian York probably had something to do with that. So good.

Sebastian York's voice is mesmerizing...

Great duo. This was a dramatic love story with a little bit if kinkiness. My kind of book.

Couldn't Stop Listening

What made the experience of listening to Four Seconds to Lose the most enjoyable?

I was completely enthralled from start to finish. The characters were very real, narrators were fantastic, great story. All around probably the best romance I have listened to, ever.

Book Crush Much

Three separate stories that are intertwined without being a continuation from first to last. You can start with any of the books in this series. I have yet to read one tiny lie and don’t think I will. This book though. Wow! I so have a book crush on Kane! He’s hot!!! Whoever thought a book about a strip club could be such a great read! Downside for me is the heroine in this book. What a ditz. Definitely doesn’t take away from the read though! You just want to hit her or wish China would. Was surprised by the ending as was thinking something else. Read! Read! Read!

Engaging, Sexy, Addicting, and Simply Amazing!

Four Seconds To Lose was a phenomenal addition to one of my favorite series! From the very first page, this book started strong. It had a totally fresh concept and a very different vibe than the first two books despite fitting in well with the series. I really love it when an author is able to keep a series like this going and still deliver something completely unique each time.  Cain and Charlies story was beautiful. It was a story of two people who have grown up in bad circumstances beyond their control and how they choose to overcome it. We never really learned a lot about Cain in the first two books and I must say I fell head over heels for him. Such a beautiful man with a tainted past. I loved that he was such a strong man just wanting to help those around him. Trying to right the wrongs of his past and upbringing. He had so much depth that I really wasn't expecting. I loved learning his back story. Then we have Charlie. I was unsure of what to expect from her; she was an enigma to me at first. But she turned out to be an amazing female character. The strength she shows in you decision-making process was beautiful. The book really kept me on my toes and I found myself biting my nails during a few parts. I love how each story line is different in this series and I adore all the fabulous characters in these books. If you're looking for sexy, heartfelt and well-written New Adult romances, this is a great series to try. I highly recommend all the books.

Good Listen

I loved the first book in this series; skipped the second; based on reviews, I got this one. It holds your interest. I do wish the sexual chemistry was more intense between the characters. That's just a personal preference. The story is good though and I don't regret using my credit for this book. I do love SY's narration skills. Mmmmm.
