Publisher's Summary

From the moment PR whiz Jack Sullivan laid eyes on Noelle Kramer, he is consumed by the tenacious beauty, but his dark past and fear of not being worthy prevent him from pursuing her. When the opportunity presents itself for Jack to finally obtain what he desires above all else, he seizes it; consequences be damned.

Noelle Kramer has been in love with Jack Sullivan since their first meeting four years ago, but there's only one problem: he doesn't seem to know she's alive. When a troubled ex resurfaces, threatening to destroy her life and her family's reputation, she turns to Jack to "fix" it. His solution is wildly outrageous...absolutely ludicrous...ridiculously implausible...and everything she's ever yearned for. With no other options and time running out, Noelle takes Jack up on his offer; after all, she has nothing to lose...except her heart and soul.

From the concrete jungle of New York City to the lush, Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, join this unlikely couple as they, along with friends and family, take you on an unforgettable journey of life, love, laughter, and forgiveness.

Contains mature themes.

Do NOT Underestimate!

This series has been the best series I have read yet! Excellent character development, intriguing cliffhangers, hot sex, and believable action. I bought the first book on a Monday and devoured the rest of the 5 books available in the series by the following Monday. I just may have to read the series again while I wait on the last book to be available on Audible. If I had to find a flaw in the series, it would lie in the horrible accents of the narrators. But that would also be a stretch because the narrators are required to have Black American, Russian, Irish and Southern accents...I don't know a narrator alive who could successfully handle that variety without technical difficulties. Don't be put off by the name of the book or the photo (I rolled my eyes when I first saw it), this is not a predictable Harlequin Romance (no shade if you like Harlequin...side eye...) novel.

Female narrator ruined it

To be transparent, I did not finish this book and will request a refund. The female narrator is horrid and the extra emphasis she places at the end of each word/sentences is annoying. Might try to read this one.

I loved this book!!

i loved this book!! Can't wait to read the next in the series. The only thing that was a bit annoying was the female narrator's voice. Her accents were so off and everywhere it wasn't seamless as the male narrator. However, both did a good job with bringing this book to life

So sweet

I listened because of the narrators, and was pleasantly surprised with the storyline and captivating characters. Well done!!

I wish these would come out sooner

I am a huge fan of Ms. Young's work. I know I've read everything she written on Amazon and other outlets. These stories are the absolute best, tons of romance with drama and thrills. I just hope the audible versions come out sooner.

Pleasantly surprised

This is my first book by this author and I ejoyed it. i already purchased the next book in the series. Hopefully the complete series becomes available on Audible. The narration was good as well. Definitely worth the credit.

I normally do not like multi racial books.

I don't go for white boys but this story got me. I enjoyed the plot and the depth it went in to. Sweet book with some kick.

Great Book

Love the story. Great plot. Characters that you can't help but fall in love with.

Perfection

Okay the narrators were both top tier and so was the novel. The only thing about the story that seemed kind of artificial was how everyone was so dame gorgeous and perfect, my god. Imperfections just don't seem to exist with this lot hah. Thats not the biggest deal in the world, but its only fair to mention a pet peeve or two, am I right???? Anyway, I love when a story is 11+ hours, but it doesn't fail to stay enjoyable. I even like how the book still makes you look forward to wanting more from the series. That's always boss too!

Reading the novel is SOOOOOOOO much better than listening to it.

So I spent a credit on this because it is one of my favorite smromance novels. This author is pretty good. The female narrator is NOT! Her voice for Noelle is awkward and I didn’t like it at all! When she did Theo’s British accent, is was no where near British. And her intonation sucks!!! Sean’s narration was a bit better. At least he can do a variety of accents that are more on par. And the way he changes his voice to suit the characters was cool. I’m currently about 1/4 of the way through the narration. Gonna suffer through because of the story. #cringe I’m being harsh because I do really like this author and this series. This narration definitely did not do it justice.
