The Devil You Know

De: Elizabeth O'Roark

Narrado por: Samantha Brentmoor

There’s a devil on my shoulder, and every Monday morning she announces herself. She’s this delicious flame in my chest, a flurry of whispered suggestions in my ear. Suggestions I ignore...because every single one of them is about Ben Tate.

Ben—stealer of clients, evictor of homeless women, nemesis. Sitting across from me every damn Monday with his lovely, smug smile and his too-perfect teeth, the living symbol of everything I hate.

It’s been my policy to avoid him, but when a case comes into the firm—one that could change his career and mine—I make an exception. It means weekends and evenings by his side. It means enduring his smirk and his smart mouth and never taking the bait.

Until the night Ben says “Beg"...and that devil on my shoulder decides to make a few demands of her own.

Gemm & Ben

Wow this book really surprised me. It was so well written and had intricate pieces of the storyline weaved in to one perfect story. The characters were realistic with flaws but also redeeming qualities.

Gemma had a crappy past relationship that really affects how she treats her relationship with Ben. I am glad we got to see parts of that relationship within the story. Ben was so swoony. You learn throughout the story about his past and present feelings for Gemma.

Fabulous, heartfelt story

Wonderful story will have you laughing and crying and rooting for Gemma and Ben. It's a little heavy, but the resolution is just so darn good. The narrator is very talented; the female voices are great, but the male voices are awful which is a shame because it takes a away from the overall perfection of experience. Definitely worth the credit.

A Hot Enemies to Lovers Slow Burn!

Elizabeth O’Roark knows how to give me exactly what I crave in an enemies to lovers. Phew, and that slow burn. She does an incredible job delivering a slow burn filled with delicious tension. I was hooked on every word, counting down the minutes until the tension combusted and boy when it did, these two were Kindle melting hot! I absolutely loved Ben and Gemma’s story!

Stellar narration of a sizzling enemies-to-lovers

Samantha gives an engaging performance as Gemma. This story is about women in corporate America, working in a male-dominated profession - law. Samantha puts us right inside Gemma’s head feeling her frustrations and anger at the patriarchal system of the company she works for. We simply feel her hate for Ben turn to love. As always Samantha brings her “A” game on the male voice front, easily flipping between all the characters' different voices. Such amazing skills producing a seemingly effortless narration which you just know is way harder work than she makes it sound.

I loved how this story tackled the very real issue of gender discrimination in the workplace and gives us an authentic POV. There was no sugar coating or over-exaggeration just what felt like the plain hard facts all to the backdrop of a sizzling hot enemies-to-lovers romance. It just makes me mad that this kind of thing is still happening. I got all mad about Ben in Chapter 46. Seriously, Elizabeth I really couldn’t see how you could bring him back from that. Buuuuuuuut of course you did and the ending was perfect. I was kind of hoping for a trip to Iceland for the two of them, but I did love their HEA.

If you are looking for an audiobook with toptastic narration and a story with great banter, sizzle, and emotion, pick THE DEVIL YOU KNOW.

Enemies to Lovers Office Edition

I absolutely loved this story and the audiobook performed by Samantha Brentmoor took it to another level. Solo Samantha is a whole vibe and I'm here for it 👏👏 she voiced every character and I would happily listen to this one over and over again.

Elizabeth gives us single POV, which I know isn't for everyone but I adored this take on it. Gemma wants to believe in the Hallmark love story...but life has shown her time and time again that's not the case, so of course her guard is up constantly...and she tends to think the worst of men. And Gemma's most recent target is Ben, the lawyer and partner at her firm who stole a major client on his first day and has proceeded to taunt her with his handsome face for two years.

Ben is one of the most swoon worthy MMC's I've read lately...to live inside his brain. The way he pays attention, the way he cares for Gemma and the term actions speak louder than words is quintessential Ben.

Excuse me I have a lot of O'Roark stories to tackle.
