About this audiobook

Trusting him is dangerous.

But resisting him is almost impossible.

New York Times bestselling author Diana Palmer’s Long, Tall Texans series returns with secrets...and dangerous seduction.

Gaby Dupont knows some men shouldn’t be trusted. Ever. Especially not high-profile lawyer Nicholas Chandler. How can she trust the man who might be helping her greedy relatives steal her family fortune? To get the inside scoop on Nicholas’s dealings—and protect herself and her beloved grandmère—Gaby must take a job with the devil himself. Of course, she can’t tell him who she really is...

Nicholas Chandler knows there’s more to Gaby Dupont than delicate beauty. She’s sweet and clever—but just too young and secretive. Yet even as they clash, Gaby gets under his skin as no other woman ever has. When Gaby comes under fire, Nicholas risks his career and reputation to keep her safe. But can he protect Gaby without losing his heart?

Ratings and reviews

Audiobook Review: Overall – 3 Performance – 4 Story – 3 I was surprised to learn that this was first published in 2021. I requested a review copy of this audiobook because I’ve come to love Todd McLaren’s voice (even though his female voices still make me cringe a bit). There’s just something about the timber of it that I find soothing. Because the Diana Palmer books tend to be such that I don’t need to listen to the text carefully, I can multi-task with no problem and just enjoy listening to Todd’s voice. I’ve only recently started to read/listen to books by Diana Palmer and most of them were written over 20 years ago. I was able to excuse a lot of the language, attitudes towards women, etc. in those early books because things were much different in the romance world back then. If the original publication date for this book really is in 2021 then I’m afraid that some of the things contained in this story are head-banging worthy for this day and age. I won’t go into details because other reviewers have already done that. I will say that I did enjoy the story enough to finish listening to the audiobook (mostly due to Todd McLaren) and I just ignored the parts that made me cringe. A complimentary copy of this audiobook was provided to me at my request but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author and/or narrator.
