INTRODUCING YOUR NEXT OBSESSION.....
THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS HAYES CAMPBELL.
To the media, he's the enigmatic front-man of a record-breaking boyband.
To his fans, he's the boy of their dreams.
To his label, he's gold-dust.
And to Solène Marchand, he's the pretty face that's plastered over her teenage daughter's bedroom wall.
Until a chance meeting throws Hayes and Solène together....
The attraction is instant. The chemistry is electric. The affair is Solène's secret.
But can it really stay that way forever?

Get the tissues
A love story that ends as it begins. Cruelty of age circumstance. Real and angry and challenging you could feel it all.
For me a desperately tragic story.

It's a complicated love story
I enjoyed Haze character. He was growing and evolving through the story. We got why Solene fell for him. So it had a good start and a good writing, but it felt to me that the author put too much angst, even when it was a bit forced.

Well Done Robinne Lee
The warmth and ease of Robinne Lee voice makes the story that much more interesting. RL switches between characters effortlessly making you believe more than one person is narrating the book. Love the story. Love the writer. Definitely recommend.
P.S RL - Why? 😩😊

A book about Harry Styles! 😂😂😂
Loved it! Fun and easy to listen. A holiday romance but prolonged. Exactly what I needed to distract me from work, being locked at home and not allowed to meet friends and travel. This book is not for serious book readers, but someone looking to break the day and just have a bit of a laugh. Enjoy! 🙌

Not to my taste, a tadd crass.
To be honest, most of it I found uncomfortable to listen to. Between the cringe worthy name dropping of designer brands, to the painfully bad English accent, to the repetitive and predictable sex scenes, it was not to my personal taste.

Enjoyed as it’s easy to follow
I’d recommend this book to anyone who can imagine H.
It’s easy to follow and easy to imagine yourself into the main character Solene.

Story is fun but narration needs work
Really enjoyed this book and it kept me captured throughout. However, the English accent is really quite painful. Think it would have been better and more engaging if there was someone else. Made me nearly stop at times but the story kept me listening.

The British accent is beyond AWFUL!!!
Plot was ok but I had to give up due to the horrendous British accent … completely ruined it and was unbearable to listen too.

easy to read plot
if you're looking for an easy book with minimal story development, this is it. A very predictable storyline from beginning to end and a plot that is very familiar if you follow hollywood gossip. Overall the performance was quite good authors voice easy to listen to.

I ate this up
I absolutely loved this book. It has my heart. Although It was somewhat relatable in that I’m 14 yrs older than my boyfriend, the book is so much more than an age gap romance.
The narration, by the author, was some of the best I’ve ever heard. You can feel the emotion of the story in every word.
I think this was first released around 2017 so me here is 2023 praying for a sequal is a long shot but I’m hopeful for more to their story

Story
For Dee Kwan, every day is the perfect day. No, really. She has a house she loves, a job she adores, and a ridiculously attractive “nemesis” who never seems to mind when she wins their favorite online game. How can life possibly get better? (It can’t, obviously. It can only get much, much worse.) Soon Dee is forced to share her adorably cozy home with her parents and estranged grandmother. Then she’s tossed into the deep end at work, tasked with cleaning up a scandal for the intimidatingly chic luxury fashion firm Celeste. If that weren’t enough, she discovers her hot nemesis works there, too.
