Trying Not to Love You

By: Amabile Giusti, Hillary Locke - translator

Narrated by: Brian Pallino, Lidia Dornet

He's a bad man and she knows it. But sometimes the bad ones are the hardest to resist.

Penny Miller is lonely and bored. By day she works at a library; by night she mixes cocktails in a seedy neighbourhood bar. At 22 she's given up her dreams of college and lives with her grandmother on the miserable outskirts of the city, longing for the kind of romance she reads about in books - love with a capital L.

Then Marcus Drake moves into the apartment upstairs. He's nothing like the charming man of Penny's dreams: he's rude, covered in tattoos, and out on parole. He's also sexy, and very, very dangerous.

There's instant hostility between them, but when Penny has to turn to Marcus for help they come to an arrangement - and soon she's struggling to keep it professional. Because with her traumatic memories and his dark past, her innocence and his passion, getting involved with Marcus might be what breaks her heart for good.

Great book. I really enjoyed this book. I look forward to reading more books by this author in the future.

Wonderful read!

This was the best book...I was sorry to see there was only 1 other book written in English by the same author.

Loved it!!

I really loved this story. It had my snared from the beginning. It was so good. I loved the characters and their vulnerability.

Worth reading twice.

I listened to this book. It had captured my heart just as much the second time.
