I don't like a lot of riffraff or poppycock clogging up my romance! (Okay, I just wanted an excuse to use those words. It is all about the couple and very little else, which I happen to like. However, I think the author did a nice job here, with a veerrrrryyyy slow burn, enemies-to-lovers (in a mild sense), office romance. It was GFY/OFY heaven, and I knew it would be a tough act to follow. I ADORED the first book in the series, Better Than Good. The narrator rocked this story out and made it a great listen. I loved Jay's sexy southern voice and Peter's more masculine voice as an awesome counterpart. His range of voices MADE the story for me. Lane Hayes, or whoever picked Tyler Stevens, is a very smart person indeed. **throws glitter and does a pseudo-mystical dance** You feel like you are living the story, rather than just reading it. A great audiobook narrator makes you forget you are listening to an audiobook.

I'm getting my second chance, and this time I'll do whatever it takes to prove them all wrong. They say a Riscoff and a Gable can never live happily ever after. She was out of my reach for years, but now she's home again-and there's no ring on her finger. We burned like a flash fire until everything went sideways, and she married another man.

Not with a family feud that is the stuff of legends. From New York Times bestselling author Meghan March comes a saga of forbidden romance. For the rest, it remains a fictional universe of relationships, where a woman is averted to intercourse even with a hint, and all men are unconscious slave owners. The story is clearly written for immature people, who follow Christian morality, but who suffer from the inapplicability of these dogmas in their life. He puts truth into a mad's mouth and he would like to see this truth in people, he sincerely believes that truth would make these people happier. “ The Kreutzer Sonata” is an almost desperate experiment to change people, in which Leo Tolstoy hardly believes.

Through a fine characterization of the enigmatic Vestieri, he provides a stirring perspective on the ways of mobsters and their history.
