Length: 9 hrs and 23 mins

Publisher's summary

A one-night stand goes wrong in this steamy and hilarious enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy!

It started as a normal birthday celebration.

Was there wine? Of course. Did I let loose with my best friends? Absolutely. Did I have one glass too many and follow a tattooed bad boy into a bar? Cue mortification.

I don't do reckless, or wild nights of hot sex.

Correction: I didn't used to. I also didn't plan to drunk-email my boss and quit my soul-sucking job, leaving me in a financial mess.

But I'm churning those lemons into lemonade! I'm chasing my dream job handling wine at San Francisco's hottest restaurant. But guess who shows up as my competition? None other than my tattooed bad decision.

Even worse, the mother-F-er smolders at me and says, "Six."

Jimmy claims he gave me six orgasms, but I don't remember our wild night, and I don't climax from oral. Pretty sure I'd recall if my body did the impossible and unraveled under his tongue.

I call him a liar. He calls me a challenge. I tell him this job is mine and he better watch out because he's going down.

Which is exactly what he offers with that dirty mouth of his . . .

Contains mature themes.

Light comedy and romance

Storyline ok. Narration wasn't as smooth as I hoped for. Wished for more plot twists.

Uncorked and sexy!

Books with a plot..that is what I love, and this first book that I listened to by Kelly Siskind has one that is a different kind of romance, and so much fun to listen to. I couldn't decide..contemporary romance, romantic comedy, a lot of sexual tension...this book has a lot of qualities and we get to learn about wine all while getting to know Jimmy and Rachel. Rachel is trying to figure out where her life is going. She is very conservative, and when she goes out with her friends on their birthday(yes, 2 of her friends share the same day with her), she makes a wish for her future, and meets Jimmy all at the same time. Jimmy is everything she is afraid of, but can't seem to stay away from, their connection real and believable. I love the story so much, their chemistry explosive, their issues with life so easy to relate to. I find stories like this to be an easy listen because while completely entertaining, the story is smart and the problems normal to regular life. Siskind has a winner with this series.

Thrown into this mix is the incredible narration by Aaron Shedlock and Samantha Cook. Shedlock gives Jimmy a vulnerable personality with attitude, the perfect character! Samantha Cook has Rachel spunky and smart. The two together have ideal comedic timing and sensuality, the performances flawless.

the love and fear that they would lose each other with the truth.

I love this story of finding oneself, with help of others and that love found a way in..when all you want to do is protect yourself.

Legs

This was a fun book to read. Humor and tough situations are plentiful in this romance story.

A Must Read!!!

This story was so much fun to read! I was laughing so darn hard! But then it captured my heart. Man, what a book boyfriend of all book boyfriends! This story was fun and you won't regret reading it!

Awesome

Really good couldn’t stop listening kee we pt me in interested. Hated to shut it off good

Not a rom-com but a rom-dram

This was my first time listening to this author. I really wanted to like this book and hoped I had discovered a new author, but I really could not get past the monotone (Siri soundalike) female narrator. I feel like I missed a lot of the plot because I couldn’t get past this.

good but repetitive

it was a good book just towards the end it was predictable and repetitive. The narrators did a great job.

Nah

I really had high hopes for this one. The narration is excellent and the writing is very good as well. The dialogue is great. But the storyline just isn’t for me. (* Spoiler alert *) I just HATE when the good part happens just the last few minutes. I also just couldn’t find it within myself to care about the contest. Maybe someone else would like it.

Sorry 3/5

voices

his voice and deliverance was great for the story, but her's was very.... I don't know what word to use here.. I felt like I was in a lecture. she didn't have much of a change in her tones to go with the different emotions that is going on in the story.
