Dirty Rich Cinderella Story

Publisher's Summary

A sexy, stand-alone forbidden boss romance!  

Seduced for a night. Taken forever.  

With only nine months left at Stanford, and despite being top of her law school class, Lori Havens takes leave to care for her sick mother. That means she juggles three jobs, the best of which is researcher for Cat Summer, novelist and syndicated columnist of Cat Does Crime.  

One evening after finishing up her work at Cat's apartment building, Lori has an encounter with a sexy stranger and does something out of character: She goes home with him. The night is perfect; he's perfect, wealthy, powerful, and from out of town. Morning comes, and despite their connection, Lori leaves before he finds out she's far from the equal he believes her to be. She's not a charity case, and she's not after his money. She will make her own. In other words, she leaves before her prince charming finds out she's no princess.   

Flash forward a few months; Lori’s mother is healing, and Cat's husband, Reese, has merged his firm with another, and Lori lands an internship there, with school credit and scholarship money. Everything is falling into place. 

That is until fate reveals a wicked twist of events, and Lori walks into a conference room to find her new boss, Cole Brooks, one of the partners, is her one-night prince charming. One sizzling shared look across a boardroom and it’s clear: This man is not done with her. 

It’s not long before Lori is informed she’ll be working high-profile cases with her one-night prince charming, which will require long nights and travel, starting immediately.

A SWEET & SAVORY SEXY FEEL-GOOD FAIRYTALE

I happily went from book 1 straight into book 2 because I love this author’s writing style that much.. and she didn’t disappoint. Because, not only is there an instant obsession that takes time (and a little angst) to ferment into a solid HEA, but there’s also interesting legal issues going on in the background as well as the lives of the secondary characters and both build multi-layers into the story.

Lori is living with her nurse Mom, she’s working hard to pay off their debts because her Dad’s death has left its mark financially and mentally on Lori long after the heartache had eased and she vowed never to do what her Mom had done. never need and never trust. But never say never Lori, because you’re about to run into a man (literally) that’s going to haunt your thoughts long after you run from his sexy strong arms following your hot no strings one night stand. And, months later when you’re an excited eager Intern at a new Law firm, you’ll meet your Prince again and you’ll have more than that one night in common.. but it’ll be a push ‘n pull ride before this stubborn modern day Cinderella finally lets her Prince put on that metaphorical shoe to see it’s actually a perfect fit.

Successful, rich, handsome Lawyer Cole can’t get the woman he bumped into out of his mind - then Fate throws him a lifeline and there’s a second chance meeting, a dirty sexy one night stand and a world filled with possibilities.. but in the morning she’s gone taking those possibilities with her.. and all he has is a first name and bitter-sweet memories. Memories that will fuel a hunt for her, memories that will haunt him obsessively for weeks, memories that will stop another woman’s touch.. and memories that will become a reality when he comes face-to-face with Lori again.. across his conference room. Cole knows what he wants.. or rather who he wants, but getting the fiercely independent and stubborn Lori to see possibilities rather than problems is going to test his bargaining skills.. because this alpha Lawyer might just do the unthinkable.. he might lose the most important fight of his life.

Worth a credit? It’s a perfect fairytale for adults.. it’s got sex with no strings which backfires into tangled strings and love. The journey was sexy.. and stormy.. and romantic.. and angsty.. and interesting.. and deliciously addictive as the push ‘n pull emotions of rags and riches boil and eventually blend. The dual POV story was expertly brought to life by two trusted actors whose flawless performances created a 5 star audiobook that’s YES definitely creditworthy.

⭐️⭐️⭐️I’m loving this series!⭐️⭐️

With such a winning combination of narrators how could it miss !!!
A fabulous book rut changer!

Erin Mallon performance is distracting.

She's too breathy in this one. At the end of every word, especially every sentence, she adds a syllable to her words. Example: "The wrong time-uh, the wrong place-uh." Or 'And yet somehow a gentle seduction-uh." Or "followed by another-uh". It's extremely annoying and distracting. I've heard her narrate before and she does this to some extent on other audiobooks, and it's still a good job, but in this one she's too breathy in addition to it. I may have to DNF this one and switch to the Kindle version.

4.75 stars

I'm so addicted to this series. I love alpha males and I liked that Cole was alpha without being over the top. This would have been a 5 star listen but I did find Lori frustrating, especially towards the end of the story. While I like a strong heroine she was beyond stubborn and sometimes hurtful to Cole. Still love them as a couple and I can't wait I listen to the next book.

4 stars!

I really liked the "Cinderella" theme fairytale undertone. This was a really great audio and next segment of the Dirty Rich series. Onto the next book!

Kept me entertained the whole book through

This book was well written and was just Great all arround. There was not a dull moment in the whole book. I love how the two found each other. Such a good story.

I fell in love with the characters in this book! I can’t wait to start the next book in the series! Just Wow!!

Really hot romance

Another great truly complete book. Intrigue, mystery, hot sex, great characters, & plot. Don’t miss out if you like any of these things.

Highly Addictive

Two books in and I’m loving this Dirty Rich series. Super rich, super hot attorneys with ethics, what’s not to love? When Lori Havens meets Cole Brooks in a local bar, she thinks he’s in town on business (which he is), and when they end up having a one night stand (something she has never done), she thinks she will never see Cole again. Fast forward a few months and Cole Brooks discovers the one night stand he’s been desperately searching for is his new intern. A wonderfully written story with some funny moments, a little bit of drama, a few twists and turns and lots of sexy time. Enjoyable characters, addictive story and an all round highly enjoyable romance.
