Story
Court Kensington is a thorn in my side. I’m hired to clean up his badboy image, which would’ve been easy if my life wasn’t falling apart. First, I catch my movie star husband having an affair with his co-star. Then when I return to work, my job is at stake, because Court has gotten himself into trouble...again. Instead of getting him back in line, I find myself falling for his charm. And into his bed. And against the wall. And, and, and...Except Kensington charm shouldn’t work on me. Not when I’ve sworn to never ever sleep with a client. I had good intentions. I really did.

Am I friends with JP Cane? Ha! That's laughable. Besides the fact that he’s adopted some far-fetched notion from the movie When Harry Met Sally that says men and women can't be friends and work together, it’s safe to say we're not friends. He's annoyingly loud, obnoxiously handsome, and has made an art out of poking all my hot buttons...multiple times a day. So you can imagine how disgruntled I am when I not only have to fly to San Francisco with him for work, but stay in the same penthouse. Yup, we're sharing the same air, 24-7. We're talking full-fledged working roommates.

Hockey star Max Yearwood was everything I needed at the time - fun, sexy, up for anything, and only around for a few months, since he’d signed with a new team 3,000 miles away. Max proposed we spend the summer helping me forget my ex. It sounded like a good plan. Things couldn’t get too serious when we had an expiration date. Right? Though, you know what they say about the best-laid plans.

And definitely not to the tall, dark, and handsome mafia prince who sweet-talks his way past her carefully built walls. Why put yourself through that, knowing it’ll all be ripped away when you leave?

Donovan and I met at a coffee shop to do the suitcase exchange. Turned out, it wasn’t just his voice that was sexy. The man holding my luggage was absolutely gorgeous, and we had an immediate spark. He got me to admit that I’d snooped in his bag and then convinced me to make it up to him by letting him buy me coffee. Coffee led to dinner, dinner led to dessert, and dessert led to spending an entire weekend together. So what did I do to repay him for his kindness? I waited until he was in the shower, then ghosted him.

It’s everything I’ve ever wanted - fast paced and high stakes - and, even though I don’t fit in, I’m excellent at faking it. Until I come face-to-face with the man in charge, Scott Sebastian, the arrogant playboy heir with the mind of a devil and the body of a god and a mouth I can’t stop thinking about.

Publisher's Summary
A new second-chance stand-alone office romance from USA Today best-selling author K. A. Linde....
Walking away from Sam Rutherford was the hardest thing I’ve ever done.
It’s been five years since that day, and I’ve given up on looking for love. My focus is on my career. And it’s paid off - I’m successfully managing the reelection for the mayor of New York City.
Then, Sam walks into my office as the new legal counsel. Which means I have to see him every single day from now until November. We vow to remain professional, but it’s a small office. The sly glances and his blistering charm are unavoidable.
It all feels so familiar. Too comfortable. After what happened the first time...I should know better.
If I’m not careful, he’ll break my heart all over again.
And I don’t know if I can survive Sam a second time.
"K.A. Linde never fails. Ever. Read this book!" (Corinne Michaels, New York Times best-selling author)

Review: Seasons 1: The Lying Season
Lying Season by K.A. Linde is the first full length interconnected standalone story in her Seasons series. The full story of second chances and fated love when Larkin St Vincent and Sam Rutherford meet again in the re-election campaign offices for Mayor Kensington. After a bitter ending, Lark isn't sure how to handle seeing Sam again. She has all these feelings that she hasn't dealt with and seeing him brings everything back to the surface and leaves her feeling raw. Sam is living in New York, somewhere he didn't think he'd ever be, especially when Lark and he ended abruptly five years ago. But moving here with his girlfriend a couple of years ago placed him in New York and then his new job landed him in Larks world, once again.
Angst-ridden, filled with emotion, heartbreak, passion, and pain, this story was a slow build to a great ending, and the perfect introduction to Lark's crew from the Upper East Side which we will meet more of in the upcoming books in this series. LOVED IT! Enjoy!
Audio narration was, as expected with these two super stars, beyond perfection. Jason & Erin's ability to embody the character they are reading is spectacular! Loved the audio!

Please tell me there is more to come from this group!
It wasn’t a cliffhanger but it was. I want more! More Katherine, More English, more everyone. I thought it was great. There were some negative reviews that made me pick up on a few things but honestly, the upper east side is a different culture so you kind of have to make the distinction. Big Linde fan, and thought she killed it again with this one! My only disappointment will come if there is not a second book in this series because this story teed it up to have at least three more very interesting storylines! Of course narration was great.

normally I read books and then listen... However due to the fact that THESE specific narrators were involved I just decided to listen first ... And OMG it was sublimely perfect. Sam and Lark were the epitome of sharing a wonderfully chaotic relationship, only to find themselves in the same situation 5 years later.
This story was so good. Please listen or read right now.

Good story
Just found this author and have really been enjoying her books through Audiobook. while the stories suck you in, some of the narrators leave me less enthused. I wish they would use the proper voices for the proper people instead of having people change their voices for different parts :/ However that is irrelevant to the author or the story. I find those great!

Sweet and Steamy Second Chance Romance!
Cruel Truth by K.A. Linde was a fun, low angst, and hot second chance romance. Jason Clarke and Erin Mallon narrate this audio. (These two are always one click narrators for me.)
Lark and Sam have a history that is explored Cruel Promise. Fast forward 5 years later when Lark is working on the campaign for Leslie Kensington who is running for NYC mayor. By coincidence Sam gets a job working on Leslie's legal council and these two have a second chance. There are several obstacles and challenges in their way, but will they make it work?
Jason Clarke and Erin Mallon brought all their steamy chemistry with their performances of Sam and Lark. Jason Clarke's female voices and different character voices always amaze me. He truly is a master story teller. Erin's performance of Lark was fantastic, not to mention her male voice is all kinds of hot! Both narrators did a great job of bringing these characters to life!
Overall, I enjoyed this audiobook. This book was the first in the series, and I'm looking forward to learning more about the side characters and them finding their HEAs as well!

The Crew Stories Continue ❤️❤️
It was great to hear Crew member Larks’ story. This series builds on the Cruel Series where the members of the Crew were originally introduced through Penn & Nat’s story. This book is sold as a standalone but I’d really recommend reading cruel for a deeper experience.
I can’t wait to hear the rest of the crew’s and hopefully supporting characters stories.
Narration was awesome.

Fantastic Narration
I found this book boring to be honest. I feel the author dragged it out and could have been cut in half. In the end I skipped to the end to see how it ended. The only good thing about this audiobook was the narration. Jason Clarke and Erin Mallon are fantastic narrators and made what I listen too bearable.

I had to read this book after reading English book.
I loved to start to finish. I enjoyed the audio of the book too so I listened it it over a day.
