Publisher's summary

When Athena Haddad's father and brother are killed, she busies herself working at her wellness studio and helping her mom fight MS. Little does she realize how flat her life has become - until she meets Nixon Browning. The billionaire is expanding his chain of health stores along the West Coast, but he doesn't appreciate her beautiful city, and she thinks his products are overpriced and worthless.

Athena sets out to teach Nixon about the city and its history while ignoring his inherent kindness and sharp intellect and the warmth that spreads through her body when he touches her. Nixon is determined to help her mom battle MS no matter what Athena thinks of his health food stores.

In an unexpected turn of events, their tour of Alcatraz becomes a fight for their lives, forcing them to let go of their pride and work together. If they can survive the Rock, they may be able to bring life and color to the sparks of romance between them.

Easy listening story. Predictable.

Nothing overly special about this story. Characters plain and kind of boring. Story was predictable and moved really slow for such a short story.

Really Enjoyed This Book!

Super wholesome and cute, I love the added action and the interesting backstory. Really love how Jakobi's voice complements the book and I couldn't imagine anyone else narrating this series.

I Wanted to Like this Story

I so wanted to enjoy this story. The first half, although filled with cliches, stereotypes and an obvious storyline, was mildly interesting-enough to keep listening. However, the plot abruptly turned into what felt more like an episode of Scooby doo. It was so outrageous and fantastical. It became impossible to stomach until the end. I’m not sure if the author was rushed to create a climax and an ending, but it was definitely rushed and not developed whatsoever.I tried. I really tried but couldn’t make it past the 15th chapter.

Loved it!

I absolutely loved the entire series including a few books that wasn't in the set. Cami I love the way your stories unfold. You paint such a clear picture of each character and the setting. I love the simple but perfect romance storyline in your books. What a pleasant listen... thank you. You picked the absolute best narrator of all times Mr. Jakobi Diem...your voice, such a beautiful instrument. Thank you for sharing it with the world.

Really ridiculous! And copied movie The Rock plot

I the story is just abdolutely stupid...could NEVER happen! Plus the FMC was so very hard to like. She wasn't "prickly" as stated in the book but downright rude, judgemental and hypocritical.

Also, there was some really rough racial stereotyping going on pointing out ethnicity differences and incorrect use of slang. For instance at one example the phrase Mac Daddy is used to suggest the characters want to kiss. In reality a Mac Daddy is a pimp so use of it as a verb would mean you want to pimp yourself out? "Macking" on the other hand is an old fashion term for making out. Then of course there's the copycat of the movie The Rock... chem-warfare & take over of Alcatraz...PLEEEEASE!
It really irks me when the writers ( or editors) don't do their home work.

Finally the narrator has a very masculine sultry voice nice!)... but his delivery is monotone and run together. This makes it hard to distinguish when the pov changes for the couple's inner monologs.

Love it!

I can’t wait to listen to the rest of the books in the series! Love it!

LOVED IT! ENJOY!

I have loved all of Cami's books so far! I have not only enjoyed each story but have learned something valuable from every one of them! She is a fabulous storyteller! And Amy McFadden is the perfect narrator bring her stories to life.
I am an avid reader with eclectic tastes. I enjoy Cam's stories especially for her sense of humour, imagination all leaving me with hope & happy feelings!
ENJOY!👱🏻‍♀️😃👏🙏💞👍🌻

horrible female lead.

This was the third book I read from this author I couldn't do it. I really wanted to finish the series eve though the first 2 books were not great. I did not finish this one. I find her books very repetitive in how the characters act but also what they say in the book. The same thing over and over. The book wouldn't be half as long if she didn't repeat herself.

It takes a lot for me not to finish one. I only got a few chapters in and could not stand the female lead

She stereotypes the male lead. But then gets angry when he stereotypes her right back.

great clean romance

Enjoyed the development of the relationship between the main characters. The danger driving them through their inhibitions.

Pretty good read

While I was delighted that I didn’t have to forward through numerous, inappropriate sex scenes and deal with inappropriate foul language

Less boring the other ones in series

I got this because it matches a reading challenge and is really short. The idea of the book is okay, but the execution is really boring. Had to listen to it at fast speed or it would be just too much. At least in this one we got more interesting characters, but the author still uses a formula here, and I feel that in a series, she really should try to think outside the box to make it more interesting.

PANTS!

Absolutely pants! The narrators are dire, the storyline weak and you’ll need to grit your teeth if you want to get to the end of the book! Only listen if you’re desperate!

Everything is right here..

Danger, humour, love, business caring all intermingled in the storylines alongside some joy. Another great reason to continue with the Billionaire book set. Come on next book and the continued exploits.
