Party of Two

By: Jasmine Guillory

Narrated by: Janina Edwards

A chance meeting with a handsome stranger turns into a whirlwind affair that gets everyone talking in this New York Times bestseller.

Dating is the last thing on Olivia Monroe’s mind when she moves to LA to start her own law firm. But when she meets a gorgeous man at a hotel bar and they spend the entire night flirting, she discovers too late that he is none other than hotshot junior senator Max Powell. Olivia has zero interest in dating a politician, but when a cake arrives at her office with the cutest message, she can’t resist—it is chocolate cake, after all.

Olivia is surprised to find that Max is sweet, funny, and noble—not just some privileged white politician, as she assumed him to be. Because of Max’s high-profile job, they start seeing each other secretly, which leads to clandestine dates and silly disguises. But when they finally go public, the intense media scrutiny means people are now digging up her rocky past and criticizing her job, even her suitability as a trophy girlfriend. Olivia knows what she has with Max is something special, but is it strong enough to survive the heat of the spotlight?

Simple love story

It was a cute love story. I was waiting for a major twist in tha story but there was none.

Jasmine Guillory is the best!

I adore every book by this author. I can't get enough. I never enjoyed romance reading until Jasmine 💜

Loved it!

It seemed like a typical love story. I loved it! It had passion and excitement! I wish it wasn’t so rushed though..

Devoured!

Everything you want in a contemporary romance. Might be my favorite of the series. I loved Olivia and Max and their story was sweet, well developed, and very charming. Excellent narration.

Relatable

I enjoyed the story , this is my second book from the author. The narration although good, would be better if they use a male to read the male story line. It was hard knowing who's perspective at times because the narrator couldn't do other voices.
