Publisher's summary

Wealthy businessman Gabriel Bishop rules the boardroom with the same determination and ruthlessness that made him a rock star on the rugby field. He knows what he wants, and he'll go after it no holds barred. And what he wants is Charlotte Baird.

Charlotte knows she's a mouse. Emotionally scarred and painfully shy, she just wants to do her job and remain as invisible as possible. But the new CEO - a brilliant, broad-shouldered T. rex of a man who growls and storms through the office, leaving carnage in his wake - clearly has other plans. And these plans may be equal parts business and bedroom.

If Charlotte intends to survive this battle of wits and hearts, the mouse will have to learn to wrangle the T. rex. Game on.

Critic reviews

"Gabriel Bishop reminds me why I fell in love with romance." (Angela, Fiction Vixen)

Very good

Voiced really well. Good story. Funny at times. Enjoyed the couple very much. Pretty standard billionaire romance.

Loved. it!

I didn't even miss that there I wasn't any paranormal which I love a all of her books. I work nights but I spent the day listening to Rock Hard. Now I have hung every book by Ms. Singh.

5 stars as always

loved Gabrielle and Charlotte's story. Nalani draws you in to her worlds and makes you want more.

Rock candy sweet

The love this couple have is just so sweet and true. A love to last all the hard times.

Okay

Wasn't sure I would like this book but I actually like that even though she had her demons he stuck by her side & never gave up on their relationship

sweet loving story

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

yes if your into a good listen then you will enjoy this story of two broken souls

What did you like best about this story?

the fact that he was able to give her patients

What does Justine O. Keef bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

the voice she gave to the characters made you believe the voice of the male character was believable

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

the patients he exhibits through out the story

I recommend this audio book

The story and performance was as good as I expected from this author and narrator. They make a good pair.

Story wise: even though it focuses on a minor character and not on one of the four rockers that the series is centered on, it is perhaps my favorite of the series.

Narrator wise: Justine O'keefe, who I am assuming is also Justine Eyre, does a great job as always. She does not become too overwrought like some narrators, but neither is she emotionless.

Golden!!!!!!!

Awesome, awesome book. Charlotte Braid is timid, and intelligent simple woman hiding behind the hideous looking clothes and spectacles working as a records clerk and who happens to be intimidated by the smallest things. On sensing the presence of an intruder in the late hours of the office, she musters enough courage to confront the said intruder, suddenly startled by the presence of muscular male she throws a stapler on his way, (Yep! She actually used a stapler as weapon!) least did she know this stranger happens to be the new CEO Gabriel Bishop, former star rugby player turned businessman famously known as T-Rex for his ruthless, temperamental and compelling nature.

After an injury Gabriel had to retire from playing rugby, he now saves the companies which is in state of drowning. Most of the time he’s difficult on his employees, but he also respects the one's who works hard. It’s when he realizes Charlotte though being a clerk, knew more about their clients than anybody else, he soon promotes her to be his P.A and that’s when their lives changes forever.

The over the top drama was quenched to believable (and likeable) levels. The heroine was a true warrior, overcoming her past and living up to all she could be. The hero, a true hero, in more ways than one. In all ways that mattered. This, my friends, is what New Adult should be.

Fantastic

Absolutely loved this book! The humor the wit the laughter all made this story great.

Best so far

This novel in the series has the most depth of character. It's not heart wrenching deep but the author's character development keeps improving with each installment. No rockers in this book, however.
