About this audiobook

Having a dirty job led me to her…

The Layman

Years ago, she stumbled upon me nearly naked as I cleaned at her father’s ritzy country club. She was wild and gorgeous…and I lost her because someone like Brittany could never settle for a layman like me…

The Princess

I loved Zeke with from the first moment I laid eyes on his hard six-pack and killer smile. But my father threatened to ruin him so I left, breaking both our hearts. Now, he’s back in my life, and I’m not sure I can stay away this time, even if it destroys us…

This is a spicy romance novella—easy on plot, heavy on steam—with a guaranteed HEA.

Ratings and reviews

I thought that the story as well as the narration was good. The narrator is able to change her voice enough to distinguish between the two points of view. Zeak seems gruff to say the least especially in the beginning of the story.

This is a follow on book from The Librarian and the Janitor and has a little more depth to it, especially for a short story. Lots of smut and dirty talk and plenty of action but with a storyline that had me rooting for them to get a HEA. Well written and nicely narrated, this was well worth a listen and I look forward to more of the same from Victoria Silk. I received a free copy of this audiobook at my request and am voluntarily writing an honest and unbiased review.

This is such a touching story. I love the way that the author creates the characters. The MCs are absolutely amazing. I love getting to know them. The author also incorporates previous characters which is wonderful. The plot is a bit of a tricky one but I loved it. My heart really went out for Zeke and Brittany. Give this story a chance.
