About this listen

A young writer searching for inspiration instead finds danger, betrayal, and romance in a spellbinding novel by USA Today bestselling author Ivy Smoak.

It’s almost like he wants her to think he is a monster.

Hazel Fox arrives at her new job on a private island hoping to get inspiration from a renowned novelist, only to discover she won’t be working with the author after all. She won’t even get to meet her. Instead, she’ll be assisting the handsome—and infuriating—Mr. Remington.

Mr. Remington unnerves Hazel from the moment they meet. Not only because he’s cold and strict and seems hell-bent on getting her to quit…but because his eyes are the same color of the ocean in their backyard. And his intense gaze always seems to be trained on her. Mr. Remington refuses to share any personal information about himself—not even his first name. But if there’s one thing Hazel is certain of in this beautiful, isolated estate, it’s that Mr. Remington has secrets. And those secrets are dangerous.

Something sinister is going on, and Hazel is determined to discover the truth…no matter how close she has to get to Mr. Remington. After all, it’s the things that are bad for us that feel best.

2.5 stars

I was confused the entire time I was listening to this. I felt like there was going to be a big lead up to something suspenseful and then nothing happened….the narrator was good at her role minus she made the MMC sound like an elderly southern man instead of a 30 year old. I got this audiobook for free from stuff your earbuds day. It was an alright story and I think it had a lot of potential, it just wasn’t my favorite.

Cute romantic…sort of suspense…story

This story is quick and hilarious!! Aspiring author, Hazel is thrilled to garner the position to be an assistant to best selling author, Athena Quinn. Except, when she gets there, she learns that she’s the assistant to the author’s assistant. Things seem pretty weird to Hazel since she hasn’t actually seen the author…and the assistant, Mr. Remington, is rather strange. Hazel begins investigating…i.e. snooping…through the old mansion and her findings are even weirder! The story…and Hazel’s outlandish musings…will keep you enthralled and laughing. The ending was a bit of a let down for me…would have liked something a bit more dramatic. Still a good story.

Delightful!

I enjoyed this book very much! If I had to complain, one thing in particular wore me out. The main character and her BFF speak on the phone often, which is fine, but too much (way too much!) in my opinion. Otherwise the storyline and characters were lots of fun :)

Not a fan

Cutesy storyline that could have been developed into much more. It's a quick easy read but character development is lacking and leaves more questions than answers.

So good

So I figured out pretty early on how it was going to end but that didn’t stop the story from still keeping me on the edge of the seat. I didn’t see the middle of the story or the way it got to the ending coming. That was all a surprise. So good. You should definitely check this one out.

So many questions!!!

This book was a fun fast paced story with many twists and turns. I love stories that just pick you up and whirl you away. I do not like being left with so many questions. There are many! But I did enjoy the plot twists and sweet love that unfolded even with all of the secrets.
