Publisher's summary

Emma Cole has left behind her family and an ex-fiance to move to Chicago and start over. When a mix-up lands her a job at a high-profile law firm, Emma is determined to meet this new challenge head-on. What she didn't count on was working for a woman like Lillian White, and it doesn't take long for Emma to realize that she might be in over her head in more ways than one.

As beautiful as she is ruthless, Lillian has worked hard to build a reputation for herself that commands respect from everyone she meets. She's sacrificed everything for her career, and she doesn't have room in her life for romance. But there's something about her sweet yet feisty new assistant that Lillian can't resist, and Emma finds herself caught up in a whirlwind of new desires that she never thought possible. Soon, the two women are embroiled in a scorching-hot forbidden affair that threatens to consume them both. 

While both women grapple with their unexpected feelings toward each other, things at the office start to unravel. The future of Lillian's firm is in turmoil, and something sinister lurks behind the scenes that forces both women to reexamine their lives and decide whether their relationship is worth fighting for.

Contains mature themes.

Anna Stone is solid.

I really liked this book, at this point, Anna Stone is on the list of authors, from whom I will most likely pick up any new releases.
I really enjoy her writing. I first got into her Irresistibly Bound series, which is probably a bit more on the erotic side, and this leaning more towards romance.

I rate this 5 in every category, but I have some minor nitpicks.

First of, the ending felt somewhat rushed, the characters get a great ending & cute epilogue, but some of the plot towards the end, could definitely have used a bit more space.

Secondly, I initially really didn't like the voice Rebecca Estrella did for Lillian (Not bad, just not to my preference), but I got used to it, and think she did a really good job on the read. She's definitely on my "safe-reader" list, because that's of much importance to me, when listening to an audio book. A bad read can definitely spoil even the best of books.

Great Story

This is my first time reading an Anne Stone Book. It won’t be the last time. I will read them all!

Not for me

I had a hard time with this one. it was a free listen so I'm not upset with the cost.

Rough listen

Yikes.... that was rough. The story line had potential but just came off as predatory. Narrator was flat. Lillian sounded threatening the entire time. all bad.

can’t feel bad for emma

sometimes you just have to listen. cynical people are so because people suck and here she is, being dumb and burning bridges, and getting hurt because of it.

i haven’t finished it but i’m annoyed at the angst.

narration was flat

I've enjoyed quite a few books by Anna and they were amazing, but this story was terrible. The narrator was flat like a robot and the story line went from 0 to 60 in a flash and made no sense. I listened to the whole thing because I spent money on it...

Cringe

Feels like it was written by a dude. One second they are developing the story then it switches up. Had to stop, couldn’t finish it.

Amazing!

Oh my goodness this writer and the narrator is fantastic! I am going to Read all of her books.

Worth it

I’m liking Ana Stone books. I really enjoyed the narrator and the book. It’s worth it!

loved it

loved it, 100% amazing, anna stone need a second behind closed doors and needs to be made into a movie or a tv mini series.

Only okay......

Now I've enjoyed other books by the author but this book gives the impression that quantity trumps quality !
I should of known that at a measly 6 hours there'd be no depth, so this book rates at only okay !
The narrator made Lillian a bit shouty and overly dramatic sounding 'weird' !

Great story

Love the chemisty, was realistic build up.so allaround great book.I read then listened to it on audible. Perfect
