Resumen del Editor

A scorching-hot enemies-to-lovers romance featuring a strong, feisty heroine and the billionaire boss she’d love to hate, an unforgettable kiss, a whole lot of lies, an irresistible battle of will…and a twisted deal that just might save them both from losing it all.

Dane Davenport was the most gorgeous, popular, and hateable guy I went to high school with.

And now? He’s the one thing standing in the way of my dream: to own the talent agency I’ve devoted my career to. Because he just bought it.

I don’t care how hot he looks in a suit. Or how many times he wants to remind me about that stupid kiss when we were teenagers.

(So what if I kissed him back? He started it!)

He’s the bosshole from hell, and now I’m stuck with him - unless he decides to fire me.

I loathe that he has the power here, and he knows it.

Well, I am not going down without a fight.

But instead of firing me from the job I love, he does something even more evil: He asks me to help him - to save his reputation and his fortune.

I might be willing to make a deal with the devil - if it means I get my agency.

I might even be able to pretend I can stand the man who has the power to ruin me.

It’s a diabolical plan. But my hatred of him will protect me.

My heart isn’t part of this bargain.

So why does it pick up speed every time we fight?

Why is that ice-cold look in his eyes starting to thaw…and getting hotter than hell?

And when I discover someone’s out to ruin him, why do I want to fight for him so bad?

If I put everything on the line, including my heart, will Dane finally win this war between us?

Or could the devil from my past really be my Prince Charming?

Conner Crais

the most sexiest yet heart pounding narrating voice of all time the ranges that this man can do is just wow I love everything about his voice the personality he feels out for the characters and the temperament and ranges of his wife is always mesmerizing pulls you into each and every story that he narrates love everything about it

A GOOD ENEMIES to LOVERS ROLLERCOASTER

This is a long and weighty book but it needed to be to 180 the character of Dane Davenport. He’s a rich spoiled Trust Fund asshole from a privileged family of entitled Billionaires. And the person who will ultimately change him will be his High School enemy Devi Sereda.. the one girl who didn’t fall at his feet or swoon. They were 17.. and they were oil and water.

Today, Devi is top Agent for a Vancouver Modelling Agency.. a company and career she loves.. until it’s bought by the Davenports and Dane is brought in to reorganize and sweep it clean. Devi is a beautiful, feisty, firecracker who had hoped to buy the Agency herself one day so she doesn’t appreciate it when her hated old enemy becomes her new boss. He’s Satan, he’s the disgraced star of a leaked sex tape and he’s the 29 yr old Billionaire bachelor who’s come to stir things up and threaten her dream job. So Devi must show no weakness.. even when the ice lord hatches a diabolical plan of a fake marriage. But their icy, hostile first meets, their verbally sharp banter.. and their resentful office push n pulls slowly turn to much needed character growth, sparks, revelations, shocking truths and a change of heart.

Worth a credit? Yes, very entertaining dual POV’s and the narration brought the characters and the story to life.

Get ready to make a deal with the Devil

I know I say this everytime Jaine gives another world and I say world not book. Because that's what they are it's world where you get lost in the lives and emotions of not just the main characters but your invested and intrigued in all characters. So more about Handsome Devil,  from the moment anyone has read Dirty like me,  you are very much interested Katies bff Devi. This heroine Devi is smart, strong and takes on the world. Dane is Hot and he knows it. He looks for weakness and gets it out but what happens when you meet that one person who can't stand but want anyways. This book has it all!! And I do mean all smoking hot chemistry, Hot sex, fighting,drama, love, heartbreak and friendship.  As always Jaine NEVER failes to BLOW MY HEART AND MIND!!  I always think I can't love one of mcs more and than bamm she does it again. If you love all the feels with a strong sassy woman and hot devil with a soft and tender heart this book has it all!  This one will keep you guessing and biting your nails to see what's happening next. I can't  waitfor the one in the series.
Ps you can pick this book without having read the Dirty or Players series. All though it be a lot more fun if you do!

Enjoyable

Mostly enjoyable at parts it got a bit boring with the constant battle of competitive banter. It could possible merge some chapter and get rid of some of the stubborn he will not get the best of me it got on my nerves a bit.

Another awesome Jaine Diamond Masterpiece

Devi and Dane! Yes please!!!!! What a way to add to the Dirty family. This crew has all the amazing love stories, what an amazing love story, thanks Jaine Devi deserved an amazing man in her life and boy did you deliver.

Holy Miscommunication Batman!!

So. Much. Miscommunication. I know that some miscommunication amongst characters is expected but when it’s the trope it just left me feeling so frustrated (and not in a 🥵 way)

The Narration was fantastic. It was the only thing that helped me finish the book.

Handsome Devil

I’m a huge Connor Crais and Samantha Brentmoor fan so the fact I got the have both of them on one audio, it was an immediate buy.

I enjoyed the characters story and the spice. Dane was someone you loved to hate and I saw myself through Devy a lot too.

Good story with excellent narration!

Enemies to lovers… maybe

Talk about your slow burn, enemies to lovers troupe! Devi and Dane have known each other from high school and to say that Dane is the devil would be an understatement. As far as Devi is concerned he has no redeeming qualities and at the beginning of the book I probably would have agreed with her. But as the story unfold you start to see Dane in a different light and as the reader falls for his charm so does Devi.

Dane & Devi

Audible review. Dual POV. Vancity Villains series book 1. Both narrators were great but neither adopted a Canadian accent for any of the Canadian characters they portrayed. You cannot go wrong with Jaine Diamond and 'Handsome Devil' proves it. I hope you 1-click it and enjoy it as much as I did.

Dane first saw Devi the first day of their senior year of high school and Devi didn't give him the time of day. Flash forward 12 years and nothing has changed except their ages and an entire book of HEAT. I look forward to more books in this series. JP

This is my favorite female narrator ever. Both male and female did an awesome job. Story was good.
