Publisher's summary

Ellison Gamble owns the most successful luxury real estate firm in Boston, but the accomplishment feels hollow when she comes home to an empty house.

Institutionalizing her mother for her own safety was the hardest thing Katie Crawford has ever done. The costs are becoming more than she can manage, and her only solution is to sell her childhood home that has fallen into disrepair.

After a tense first interaction with Katie, Ellison eventually finds herself in an unlikely friendship, and makes a risky offer to help Katie sell her mother’s home. Katie will do anything to help her mom, but being attracted to a woman for the first time was not in the plan.

Will the risks they take be worth the reward? Or have they wagered on a losing bet?

So good!

One of the best by Fiona for sure! I’d even love a sequel! Loved both Ellison and Katie’s characters!

Great Story

At times, the narrator sounds more like she's reading than one of the characters.

The best out of the set

Ellison is such a great character. I admit I wasn't buying this connection with her and Katie, but over the course of the book you start to get really invested in the HEA. It's a very enjoyable story. Highly recommended 👌

Excellent

This by far was my most favorite of this series. Loved how it began the in-between as well as the ending. I couldn't stop listening until it ended, and still listened to it all over again. Great story and great narration!!

love it!

This one is my favorite by the author. The audiobook is one of my go to's. The story is well paced, interesting, and sexy. I really love this narrator. Melissa Sternenberg allows you to live in the story and feel the character. She a performer, not just a reader.

Wonderful

I have so much to say about this book but I think the most important thing to know is that you won’t be disappointed. The characters are written with such care you clearly understand them and love them. Now can we have the movie already.. pretty please!
Ps; The narrator is superb!

yet another 5 stars for Riley!

Couldn't make myself pause it, started and finished it in one day. I couldn't wait for The Boss' story and it was fantastic!
