Publisher's summary

Foxxxy Rule Number One: Never fall for a client.

Christian Webber is femme, fabulous, and an absolute freaking mess. Although he loves his chaotic life, his cherished friends, and his job dancing and escorting at the exclusive Foxxxy Gentlemen’s Club, he’s also 29, single, and facing down the very real possibility of turning into a lonely, old cat lady. But an encounter with a client’s jaded son may change everything.

Gordon van Dierman has his life figured out. He owns a business, a house, and a dog with his partner of seven years, but when he learns of his partner’s infidelity, the grumpy Dutchman abandons everything he’s built and returns to his childhood home in America to lick his wounds in peace. But a run-in with a feisty, gender-fluid escort may be just what the doctor ordered.

When Chrissy and Gordon’s lives collide, it’s hate at first sight, to be sure, but the fire between them may be more than simple loathing. You know what they say: Love and hate are horns on the same goat - or however that expression goes.

Chrissy knows better than to fall for a client. But the rules don’t say anything about a client’s son, do they?

Hot and sizzling 🔥

I didn't expect this one to be so good going in, but it was absolutely exceptional.

Right from the storyline to the narration to the cover!

All are pretty amazing!
Absolutely recommend this gem!

Enjoyed It a Lot

I enjoyed this story so much and discovered a new to me author. I liked both characters, Cristian with his fun one liners and quotes from my favorite TV show, and Gordon a grumpy grouch turned into a nice guy...eventually. I liked how their relationship developed and character development their feelings inspired. Narrator did a good job with both voices, it took me a bit to get used to his voice for Christian, but I loved the voice he gave Gordon right away. Overall this was a very good listening experience and I am looking forward to more stories in FoXXXy club series.

Chrissy and Gordon

I ADORED Chrissy. Brash, confident, determined, and stubborn. Lord is that man stubborn! Gordon is also stubborn and opinionated. I liked that both his father and Chrissy stood up to his temper tantrum and he actually stopped and listened, he took some time to work through things and then worked to build a better relationship with each of them. I liked too that Gordon was willing to fight for Chrissy but ONLY if it was what Chrissy wanted. Chrissy's compromises about his job made me smile because, even with that, he did it his own way.

Audiobook: I so thoroughly enjoyed the narrator's voices for each of the characters.

Low angst & great banter!

Great banter and determination brings two very different men to finding their person.  I loved Chrissy's snarky, independent, driven and stubborn self.  I enjoyed how with growth he found an avenue to a compromise that was from his heart.  Gordon also had some real growth, after his temper he learned to listen and think about other perspectives and that enabled him to find passion and a real relationship. 

Wonderful supporting characters.  I really enjoyed the low angst and light hearted plot and the book will touch your heart.  

I was not a fan of this narrator for this story.  

Very good

Truly enjoyed this one from Nikole Knight! The characters were charming and fun and I loved the storyline! It was well written and smoking hot. John York did a nice job with narration and I look forward to listening to more audios by him in the future!

This one is a scorcher

There is a thin line between live and hate, although I doubt Christian and Gordon really hated each other all that much in the beginning. Gordon holds on to some ideas that he eventually realizes were unfounded. Chrissy is unashamedly femme and fabulous and isn't afraid to tell anyone that he doesn't need rescuing. These two are fuel and a lit match, ready to go up in flames. I enjoyed the story and it has some great side characters, including Jan, Gordon's dad. I have to warn you though that the demon wearing a cat suit named Mr Jingles is a total scene stealer. The narrator did a good job with this one.

Chrissy sass is so good

Low angst + snark + frenemies + off-the-charts sexual chemistry = your next must read. You’re welcome.

The only thing I didn’t love was the narrator’s Boston accent for Chrissy. It was forced.

I liked christian (chrissy)

This was a new to me series,author and narrator. The story had good detail to background and character development, narrator did a good job making each character have their own distinctive sound.

Didn’t wow me

I’m honestly not sure about this book. I have it three stars because the narrator was completely on point. John York did a great job of brining the characters to life and I feel if it wasn’t sure his stellar performance then I wouldn’t Haven finished. The story between Christian and Gordon seemed to just take forever. They had a good chemistry but I just felt it took too long to get there. Solid three stars.


*Listener Note: I received a free copy of this audiobook through Gay Romance Reviews (GRR) and this is my honest review.

Cool story

This is a new to me author and I was given this book for free for my unbiased review. The story was good and although I am a fan of John York as a narrator, I don't think he was the right one for this story. However, it was a good story and John York is good at what he does. So I will definitely read or listen to other books by this author.
