Perfect (Mis)Match

A Grumpy Sunshine Billionaire Boss Romance (Manhattan Bossholes, Book 1)

De: Leslie North

Narrado por: Abigail Reno, Christopher Ashman

Some people get meet-cutes. I get a meet-crash.
When Vincent Forde rear-ends my car, I expect an apology—instead he tosses me a scowl that could melt steel and acts like I’m the problem.
Charming, right?

With his designer suit, smoldering glare, and ego the size of his bank account, Vincent is the very definition of an entitled bosshole.
I figure that’s the last I’ll ever see of Mr. Too-Rich-and-Ridiculously-Handsome.

Except life loves a good punchline.

Guess who struts into my brother’s engagement party like he owns the place?
Yeah, it’s Mr. I’m-Too-Sexy-To-Drive-Properly, lounging by the bar like he’s posing for GQ.
I think I hate him.

Only now, there’s something he wants from me.
There’s a rare perfume ingredient he desperately needs for his fragrance empire.
And Lord of the Scowl is willing to pay me ridiculous money to help get it.

Oh and he also wants me to pretend to be his girlfriend.
As if there’s anything remotely boyfriend-material about him.

Vincent might be the king of the scowl and a walking ego trip, but he’s offering me a deal I can’t refuse.

Even if it means pretending to like the guy who drives me insane.

The more we fake it, though, the more the line between acting and real starts to blur. His charm is aggravating. His confidence is infuriating. His smile is entirely too distracting.

This wasn’t part of the plan. I’m supposed to hate him, not want him. But pretending to be his perfect match is starting to feel all too real...

Perfect (Mis)Match is a sizzling enemies-to-lovers romance packed with sharp banter, fiery chemistry, and all your favorite tropes: billionaire bosshole, fake relationship, and brother’s best friend. With a grumpy, guarded hero and a heroine who’s more than ready to knock him down a peg, get ready for the perfect storm of wit, tension, and heart-stopping twists.

Very entertaining

The journey for Piper and Vincent started
off with a fake relationship but things do
have a habit of changing and boy how they
change.
At times I was laughing out loud.
Great chemistry between the characters that
had quite a bit of heat to it.
The two narrator did a great job of bringing the book
to life.

A Romance with a Bang Up Start and All the Feels

Okay, so I just finished Book 1 in this new romance series featuring Vincent and Piper, and I have to say—I’m hooked. Seriously, if you love a good slow burn with a little chaos in the beginning and a whole lot of chemistry by the end, this one’s for you.

Vincent and Piper don’t exactly hit it off right away—things are awkward, messy, and at times hilariously frustrating. But honestly? That’s what made it so good. Watching them go from totally (mis)matched to made for each other was such a satisfying ride. The buildup was perfect—not rushed, not drawn out, just perfectly paced. By the time they started to actually figure it out, I was completely invested.

The narration was spot on. Both the male and female narrators brought Vincent and Piper to life. They added depth to the characters and made the emotional moments hit just right. It felt like listening to a movie, in the best way.

Since this is the first in the series, I’m definitely planning to jump into the next one. Book 1 gave me just enough closure to feel satisfied, but also left me wanting more—exactly how a series should start.

Highly recommend if you’re in the mood for a romance that takes its time, makes you laugh, and leaves you smiling. 💖

Enjoyed this

Story - ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Spice - 🌶🌶
Narration - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Perfect (Mis)Match is book #1 in the new series Manhattan Bossholes. This story has so many different aspects that I love...grumpy/sunshine, fake engagement, forced proximity, brother's best friend...all rolled up into a spicy little package. Piper needs a business connection for her start-up. Vincent needs a barrier from his ex AND help with a business partnership. These two literally crash into each other and find they can be mutually beneficial to each other. But when this business deal engagement becomes VERY real, Piper and Vincent navigate lots of obstacles (her guarded heart, his disbelief of lasting relationships) in this heartwarming, humorous, and steamy gem! I can't wait for the rest of the series!!

The narration was absolutely fantastic! Christopher Ashman and Abigail Reno are both new narrators to me and I was blown away by their performance. I will definitely be adding them to my "find more by these two" list. 5/5 stars!!

Love it

The narrators did a good job the only thing is I prefer the male narrators version of Vincent.

Vincent and Piper meet when there is an accident in the parking garage, that leads to an altercation which was enjoyable because Piper wouldn't bow down to the grumpy billionaire who is used to getting his way. Then it leads to them being at the same engagement party, which leads to them pretending they're in a relationship. Which leads to them working together. I love the bantering and how Piper isn't afraid of Vincent and stands up to him.
Vincent comes off arrogant as he first tries to get Piper to claim she was the one responsible for the parking garage altercation. I liked their story and the characters Vincent's boys from college as they are known as the lost boys who I believe this series is based on and can't wait to read their story.

It was cute.

I got a free code a honest review. I really enjoyed the 1st half of this book. The fmc was snarky and the quips they through at each other was hilarious. The reason for the missing star is because the funny started to go away and the sappy took over. Her quirky personality became a little more subdued. It was still a good book. The narrators did a great job.

Fun listen

Enemies to lovers
Fake dating
Workplace romance
Spicy

Dual narration- Abigal Reno & Christopher Ashman
Loved their voices! Wish this was Duet but I really enjoyed this book

I found this to be cute and fun. Enemies to lovers. Their first meeting was interesting and definitely played the enemies out well.

Vincent is a CEO of a perfume/lotion company that his father created. He is struggling getting a certain ingredient needed for their new product. Piper is a photographer, strong and independent FMC. She has a product she wants to create with her best friend but needs the right investor.

After a bad first impression on an important couple Vincent struck a deal with Piper. Fake date him and help him get what he needs from the couple. He will introduce her to an important investor for her product.

Of course things get a bit crazy and go wrong. This had good banter, good spice and I enjoyed the plot.
Great narration.
