Length: 13 hrs and 38 mins

Publisher's summary

The Sebastians own this city. Hell, they own the whole world. All I want is one little piece of it, a corner that I can call my own.

So when my boss runs away to “find herself”, I seize the opportunity and dive head first into the Sebastian’s glamorous universe. It’s everything I’ve ever wanted - fast paced and high stakes - and, even though I don’t fit in, I’m excellent at faking it.

Until I come face-to-face with the man in charge, Scott Sebastian, the arrogant playboy heir with the mind of a devil and the body of a god and a mouth I can’t stop thinking about.

He’s infuriating. He’s a distraction. He’s the man who wants me in his bed as much as I want to be there.

And, if I get too close, he’ll be the one person who could expose me for what I really am - a fraud.

Lots going on

Like the storyline so far; don’t like the abrupt ending in the middle of drama and being left hanging. Narrators do a good job with characters. Onto book 2 to move away from the cliff!

Love it and wished it was a longer series

I am such a huge fan of laurelin Paige!!! Her work is always really intimate; hot and sexy but also she has a way of connecting the love interests in a beautiful (albeit fictional) way - and heck if I wanted to read about real life I would pick up a documentary. This series is no exception. My only “complaint” is that it’s a shorter series. I’ve grown used to long books with 3 or 4 books in the universe. My preference is love affairs in NYC, great energy for the backdrop of the story. This series has good twists which kept it really interesting. LOVE!

Holy OMG! What an ending!

What a masterpiece ending! Never expected that!

Totally love the narration!! Duet narrations truly make a book come to life!!

One of my favorites

I love this story and I love it in duet style. The Sebastian series is always great, depicting wealth, family dysfunction, stereotypes, greed and both the good and bad about life and love.

The narrators are also the perfect combination.

Highly recommend!!!

Nice introduction to the story

The audiobook starts with Man On Top, the prequel to Man in Charge and in this prequel, we have our very interesting meet-cute: Tessa Turani has crashed a party, using her friend (and boss)'s invitation and she stumbles upon a very intimate moment between a man and a woman on the rooftop. She tries not to watch but she just can't take her eyes off of what she's seeing. The man pretty much dismisses the woman and Tessa tries to sneak out unnoticed. However, the man knew she was watching them. She pretty much knows he's definitely a player, but an irresistible one. She goes back to the party and the man pursues her. One thing led to another and she ends up in his apartment... naked. After the awkward "morning after", Tessa quickly leaves. There is a reason she doesn't want him to know who she is - she was crashing the party and he may know her boss. 

Tessa's web of lies is getting bigger - she had met one of the illustrious Sebastians at the party and sort of pitched one of her foundation clients for a sponsorship (actually, it's one of her boss's clients but she's done being "the assistant" and is trying to prove herself while her boss is out of town). That conversation got her a meeting at the Sebastian Corporation and, as it always happens in romance, when she gets to the meeting, she sees herself face to face with "Blue Eyes". He's Scott Sebastian, he's the one who will approve her pitch or not... and he knows her boss...

Since this is a duet, the prequel and book are pretty much the introduction to Tessa and Scott and the set up for the the true conflict that will be resolved on book 2. I only I got the duet after all books were released because I løathe cliffhangers with the fiery passion of thousand suns and it's the reason I avoid them, but since both were out, I was safe. Let me just tell you that this cliff hanger is a doozy! In a few parts, it feels a bit like a sitcom with all the lying and "creative thinking" Tessa does to pass up as her partner and not the assistant (it has a touch of the movie "Working Girl" ... and I just dated myself! LOL) but it keeps you entertained. 

Narration: I confess I got the books because they are narrated by the oh-so-delicious voice of Jacob Morgan. Duh. It's duet-style and most of the narration is done by Emily Roya, with Jacob reading Scott's parts. I really liked Emily, who's new to me. (Do not miss the outtakes. Jacob cracking up and saying "I don't know how to talk to someone like this!" is just too good! )

Rep: the FMC is half-persian; the FMC's boss was adopted and comes from Korea; the FMC's best friend has POTS. 

Excellent

Now my favorite author! Narrators were fantastic! Usually you either get a male or female narrator that's great, in this book you have both!!

Loved it!

Loved the story and of course, loved LOVED the narration! Jason Morgan/Zachary Webber is absolutely THE BEST!!!
