About this audiobook

I'll be the first to admit that I live at extremes. After going ten years locked in what felt like a dysfunctional marriage, I'm now decidedly boy-free. In nearly three years I've had no boyfriends, no flings, no dates and no sex. For the sake of my dream career, the sacrifice has been easy. At least it was. Until he came along. Lukas Hendricks. He's rude, gorgeous, arrogant-a stone-carved wall of muscle and distraction. He's everything I know to avoid but there's no avoiding your next-door neighbor. Oh yeah. The man now lives three steps from me and to make matters worse, he crashed into my life while I was relaxed in the tub-mortifying to say the least and it went something like this: I was exposed. He looked. He laughed. And then I locked myself out. In short, Lukas Hendricks was trouble from the start. And me? I was-for the first time in years-about to be screwed. Contains mature themes.

Ratings and reviews

Audio: Narrators – John Masterson and Cassandra Myles OMG!!! These narrators did an incredible job!!! I couldn’t imagine anyone else giving such perfect voice to Lukas and Lia. John’s voice was so deep and melodic that I had flashbacks of voice overs from movies such as My Dog Skip and The Sandlot. Cassandra gave such sweet innocence and passion to Lia that I was pulled completely into the character. The fluctuations were spot on, the tone and rhythm never needing a moment to adjust to. I have definitely found two new narrators to stalk…I mean enjoy. This was such a sweet, fun, sexy read with much more depth than I was expecting. Lia is working hard on getting her business started and she knows that having a relationship will only get in the way of that endeavor. Unfortunately, her new neighbor is just too much temptation. Deciding to do a one and done, she finally yields to Lukas’ pull. In the morning, things will return to business as usual. Lukas was never expecting all that was Lia when he first met her in the hallway. Although, there was quite a bit to see at the time. Now that he’s had Lia, he’s determined to keep having her but she’s a prickly little thing and suddenly he finds himself intrigued, and liking it. I loved this couple so much! They each had more than what initially was laid out and that made for a bit of an emotional pull the further into the story I went. These characters were very well developed and I was totally invested in them and their future. The steam factor here was melt-your-kindle hot and Lukas amps up the heat with his dirty talking ways. Whew! Try listening to that while driving down the interstate! I was a bit confused at how the end was suddenly upon me and I felt as though I had missed something in regards to the “villain” in this story. I’m curious if his role isn’t more fully played out in another book? As this is my first book by this author I’m unsure what all this series entails but I’ll certainly be checking to see if Lukas’ sister Tess has her own story. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
