Publisher's summary

I first met William McAlister when I was just a teenager.

He was handsome, had a beautiful wife, and was on the verge of success, having just joined my father as his business partner. Mr. McAlister was full of smooth charm, but back then he was barely a blip on my radar. Just a family friend.

Fast forward 10 years: I'm 25 years old and a single mom trying to make things right for her seven-year-old son. I've made some mistakes, grappled with my demons, and now I'm back in the city of Vancouver, getting a second chance at a better life.

I've started by working for my father's production company as an executive assistant. My first day on the job and I already know I could have a promising career there.

That is, until I see Will McAlister for the first time in a decade.

Now recently divorced and as sophisticated as always, Will has gone from being my father's friend and business partner to something so much more.

Contains mature themes.

I LOVED THIS STORYLINE

This was my first time listening to this author and I’m glad I DID. Story flowed... characters were good .. although the female was kind of nerve wracking goin back n forth feeling unworthy. IT ALL CAME TOGETHER IN THE END.. I’ll read more from this author and the narrators were great as well

Enjoyable story

The story was great, and the male narrator was perfect. However, to get through the female narrator, I had to up the speed to 1.15 to 1.2. Once I did that, she was fine.

Emm it was just ok.

I only bought this because i love Alexander C....i was expecting more with it being an older man younger woman story line . 😕 I don't know...it was slow and the female character did not know if she wanted to be loved. I hate that. Oh well!

Narration issues

The male narrator isn’t able to pull off the female voice. It was too distracting and a very predictable storyline. Just meh for me.

Main characters early relationship

Did not like the male narrator, always out of breath and constant shout-like reading. IT IS A ROMANCE story sir, It should be delivered in a more sexy tone.

May-December taboo romance

This was an interesting topic for a romance, in that the heroine first meets the hero when she's a teenager. He's married at that time and a friend of her fathers who work in special effects for movies. She later meets him again when her father makes her the hero's personal assistant. The hero is now divorced and is attracted to her despite the over 10 yr age difference. Things are complicated by the fact the heroine has a young child by an abusive relationship in the past and that her parents see her as nothing more than a screw-up. Narration was well performed.

Interesting premise

I really enjoyed the premise of this story. I do wish it went a little more in depth with the back stories and the family relationships and that we had more of Will interacting with Ty but overall it was an enjoyable listen with good narration.

Cute and spicy

The narrators didn’t match the character ages and it was a little slow, but loved the spicy bits and the love story. When you know you know.

AMAZING!!!!

I don't ever care for these kinds of novels, but when a friend suggested it, I decided to give it a try. I couldn't stop. By far the best story ever. I'm not sure if it's because I felt a personal conviction/connection but man was it good!
