#1 Rival

By: T Gephart

Narrated by: Grace Grant

Length: 8 hrs and 55 mins

Publisher's Summary

Lauren Harper wanted four things.

Respect. Success. Happiness. And to annihilate Roman Pierce.

Sure, he was a smooth, smart and sexy attorney who made the senior partners at their law firm cream their pants. But he was also an annoying cocky jerk who she'd been competing with since they had both been hired over a year ago.

And Lauren didn't care how amazing his smile was or how hot his body was underneath that suit - the firm-sponsored fun run had a lot to answer for - he was a ruthless, ambitious prick who would stop at nothing to climb the corporate ladder. He'd even climb over her given half the chance. Sadly, she'd probably enjoy that. No. That wasn't what she was supposed to be thinking. She did not want him climbing over or under her, or doing anything else to her. He was the enemy. Destroying him was the only option.

Wiping that smug, beautiful grin off his gorgeous, obnoxious face, a bonus.

Now, if she could just keep her objective in check and obliterate him before he did the same to her.

THE HERO IS AN @SS!

Roman was an @ss throughout the whole story.

I don’t care how afraid you might be about something, or where your head is at, that doesn’t excuse the verbal abuse, and doesn’t give you the right to lash out at somebody else with such hateful and hurtful words.

The heroine takes the abuse over and over again, and even by the end, the Happily Ever After was not that enjoyable for me.

I did like the narration.

Love love this

Roman Pierce and Lauren Harper are associate lawyers at the same law firm. They fight each other for everything instead of working as a team. They’re working on the same case as a team. It was a divorce case because Jenna Kane, an entrepreneur who created Kane Cosmetics and is CEO. The pharmaceutical aspect of her company is creating a cream that will help with skin infections. She’s concerned about a patent that she is filing in the next month, while she was separated and has no proof or a prenuptial agreement. She’s willing to give her dope smoking husband a nice settlement and the house.


This was my first in T Gephart’s #1 series and I loved it. i never laughed, cried or been so angry at an audio before. i highly recommend this audio

I love this series!!!

I laughed out loud and cried real tears. I want more! When will the rest of the series be available on Audible?

wow

what a great story from the beginning to the end . it made me cry , laugh and listen

Yep, another RNH

Romance novel harpy. We cannot possibly be strong, confident and successful women without being a psycho. The narrator irritates the crap out of me. Way, WAY TO MUCH E-NUN-C-ATION.

another good book in this series

I didn't realize what the connection to the other books was at first, probably because I took some time in between listening to them. But I enjoyed this book just like the others. Plenty of steam, workplace romance between two people who seemingly hate each others guts. I love how they were able to keep their normal workplace relationship while still pursuing their "romantic" one.

Funny, Sexy Enemy to Lovers Romance!

I wasn't sure I would enjoy this at the beginning. Lauren Harper and Roman Pierce were colleagues at a Law firm who were so competitive, always trying to one up the other. They exchanged barbs but their competition drove them to be better lawyers. I quickly got into the rhythm and fell for the humor, smart banter and heartwarming, sweet romance. Lauren is smart and confident but at times she had me laughing out loud when her brain would conjure up the most hilarious scenarios. Roman took awhile to understand but trust me when I say he is the sweetest, most loyal, and protective alpha and you will love him in the end. I am a huge fan of grand gestures and this story had me swooning!
Grace Grant did an amazing job with this story. Her inflections were spot on and her comedic timing was brilliant.
This story is a hilarious, sweet & sexy romance that won me over quickly and I need to check out the rest of this series!

Grace Grant was totally great!

My first T. Gephart book was amazing! This was fantastic story… so funny and smart! I loved the two lawyers trying to work with each other. Their banter was just off the charts hilarious! I laughed so hard listening to this audio book! The dialogue between these characters was completely perfection! I adored Grace Grant’s narration of these characters!

Smart and Fun!

#1 Rival is smart and funny, a hate to love story of two lawyers who are trying to work together as sparks fly. Their chemistry is off the charts, the banter is awesome and the storytelling is completely entertaining! I think I’ve found a new favorite author!

"I had stumbled on the definition of a true paradox. I hated Roman Pierce. I wanted to destroy Roman Pierce. But unfortunately, I wanted to sleep with him as well."

One of the best feelings ever is to stumble upon a ‘new-to-me’ author and just fall in love with their writing. That is exactly the feeling I have after listening to the audiobook of #1 Rival. I now need to catch up and read everything this author has written!
I loved the narration and I’m so glad I got to listen to this book on audio!
-5 Stars!-
