Resumen del Editor

A one-night stand between two old childhood friends turns into something more, but when a scandal threatens to tear them apart, they must decide how hard to fight for love—a steamy romance debut perfect for fans of Tessa Bailey and Kennedy Ryan​.

Exhausted and on deadline with a story that could make or break her career, investigative journalist Georgia Ross is on the verge of a meltdown when a cancelled flight leaves her stuck in the airport overnight. But when a familiar face appears—the older brother of her childhood friend—and offers help, Gigi seems to have caught a break.

Alec Kim is handsome, humble, and kind—exactly the sort of man who Gigi has forgotten existed after her own painful heartbreaks. An evening of reconnection followed by a night of no-strings-attached passion with Alec feels like a gift—that is, until Gigi finally realizes that their childhood connection isn’t the only reason he seems so familiar to her.

Alec is determined to prove to Gigi that he is truly the man she thinks he is, even if it means coming clean about his fame—and his family’s connection to the story Gigi’s been working so hard to break. But as their feelings for each other grow deeper, Gigi and Alec must navigate a new reality...one where both of their hard-won careers are put directly in the path of an international scandal.

Cute

Really enjoyed this one. Super cute, entertaining, charming, and predictable at times but not in a bad way. The epilogue really helped land the finale, it gave me everything I was hoping for at end.

Great book

Loved this book. Short but very good. Would love to see more by this author

AMAZING LOVE STORY!!!

Such an amazing love story!!! I am in love with this book!! The connection between Georgia and Alex is simply beautiful!!

Shockingly Good

I know I am going to sound crazy but I think the story would have been even better with less spicy scenes. It was just a great story. I went in with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised.

So much chemistry!

I don’t know what I was thinking skipping this book for a few months now.
How to describe this book?
My heart did this ➡️😍😊🥹🥰
I hadn’t felt this giddy with a romance book since Sweet Filthy Boy.
Ivy Owens’ story is captivating, sweet, passionate, intriguing. The main characters have loads and loads of chemistry from the very beginning. I won’t give much spoilers just read it or listen to the audiobook.

The narrator did fantastic job, at times she did miss the accent that Alec was supposed to have. It didn’t take away from the story.

I can’t wait to see what Ivy writes next!

4.5 Stars !!!

I struggled with the first quarter or so of the story. It felt a little slow and I wasn't grabbed by the characters or the plot or environment. The narration also dragged my experience down a bit as well. Charlotte Penfield did do a great job as GiGi but her voice for Alec wasn't distinct enough sounded too much like her regular voice and wasn't consistent. Nor did it depict the accents of the places he'd lived that were said to beautifully color his voice. So that is what kept me from giving this a 5 Star rating. I did stick with the story wanting to know why the reviews I read raved so about this book, this love. By the HEA I was happy I'd stuck with the story. Alec is not a superstar with a super ego he is just a man a good one a humble one with a flashy job. He is devoted to his family loyal and earnest and the chemistry that builds between him and Gigi is simply beautiful and something every woman yearns for or at least this one does. The honest joy and depth of emotion between Alec and Gigi kept the sexy times from being overly explicit or trashy they were just sweetly beautifully sensual and steamy. I also greatly appreciate being able to view a reporter in a good light. Gigi had principles and morals. Respect for others and for herself. This was my first book by Ownes, and I will be looking into her other works.

Steamy and fun

Loved the relationship but the story line with the article and scandal wasn’t super exciting to me.

Has it all!

Love love these characters and the storyline. So well done. It’s not often you find this mix of suspense and heat in the same story. A million stars!

Wow! A must Read/Listen

This is a new author for me and I’m so impressed! The story was engaging, interesting and so well written, I truly enjoyed it! Plenty of steam factor but not lewd and the characters were intelligent, thoughtful and emotionally balanced. I’ve followed this new author and I cant wait to read/listen to what she releases next! The narration was great and I would definitely listen to other books read by her as well. Great job!

sexy and a quick read!

liked it! the performance felt a little awkward at times - especially around dialogue - but really enjoyed this!
