About this listen
Luke Knight thinks he can own me, can hurry me into a wedding and then into his bed. He seems to know everything about me. But he’s missed the most important point - I’m dastardly. He thinks he’s my one and only? Not a chance. But I like his estate and all his money, so I’ll bide my time. I don’t obsess over his good looks and the way he makes me feel. Not a bit. Once he’s dead, I’ll be more than happy to be the grieving widow...on a yacht...in the Seychelles...drenched in diamonds. Cassandra truly believes I’m the bad guy in her world. She’s wrong. I can show her how much she means to me. It will take time and coaxing, but I’ll prove to her our love is deep and true. If she tries to knife me a few times along the way, what of it? After all, a spirited woman is exactly what I need, and Cassandra Carlisle was made for me.

Story
I knew I was going to be sold by my father. A bride offered to forge an alliance or seal a deal. Even so, I still held onto the hope of living free of the families. But when I’m given to Antonio Tuscani, I realize my thin dreams of escaping this life were just that - dreams. Giving up, I accept my fate...until a fierce-eyed boss, Nick DaVinci, shows up on my wedding day to exact lethal vengeance.

Story
Did I break into an animal shelter? Yes. Should it be a crime? Absolutely not. After all, I’m just trying to save these darling kittens from being sent to a lab for experiments. They deserve a loving home, and I intend to give them one. Well, that was the plan, but then I ran into some complications. Several of them. And they all have badges, guns, and handcuffs. So, off to jail I go, but I make my one phone call to the only man who can help me. Benton. I just hope he doesn’t tell my father what I’ve been up to.

Story
Liam Baxter is my new boss, and he's not so bad. I mean, he does require that I knock before I walk into his office. And he doesn't want me to bring my cat to work. Then he tells me if I don't follow his rules, there will be discipline. On top of that, others say he's cold and calculating. Hmm, maybe my boss is a little bit bad? But the more I work for him, the more things change. He shows me his true self in delicious glimpses. Perhaps underneath the stern, handsome boss, there's a man who needs love even more than he needs an assistant.

Mariana isn’t the kind of woman I ever expected to have a chance with. Not when I’m a rough enforcer, someone who shouldn’t be within 10 feet of anyone as innocent as Mariana. But I can’t shake my need to have her, and when she looks at me with those big eyes, I can feel the heat behind them. She wants me just as badly.

Story
A quiet life as a clock tinker. That’s what I need. And that’s what I have...until her - the woman in the pop-up shop across the street. The shop that’s invaded my tranquil life and turned my town into a movie set. I want nothing to do with any of it. But then, I hear her voice. And I can’t think about cogs and tick-tocks. All I can think about is her. And when I find her? I’m never letting her go.

Story
I’m not here for holiday cheer. I’ve been hired to do a job—find out how Snow Hills cheats its way into winning a holiday decorating competition every year. I’m going to get to the bottom of it, I’m going to get paid, and then I’ll be done with this postcard-perfect town. At least that’s the plan until I meet Liza Grable. She’s like the Christmas fairy of Snow Hill, all curves and sweetness. I’m supposed to be investigating her and her mother, the mayor, but the thought of her being a cheater simply doesn’t fit.

Story
He’s up to something. I know it. No man can be that handsome and mysterious. He’s probably a spy. I can’t say for sure, but I’m going to find out. Watching Heath is easy, but wanting him is the part that’s going to get me into trouble. Lena peeks from her windows and tries to catch me doing something, though I’m not sure what she thinks she’ll see. What sort of an assassin would I be if my sweet neighbor figured me out so easily? Besides, I’m here to watch over her. The only problem is that she’s irresistible and far more alluring than my work.

When Ashton moved to London, it broke my heart. I was only fourteen, but I was in love. I haven't seen him in four years. But now my father is getting married, and he's back. My feelings haven't changed, but I have. I'm not a scrawny little girl anymore. I have thick hips and curves. And once my father's best friend sees them, well, let's just say he becomes more caveman than best man. He can't take his eyes off me during the ceremony. He can't keep his hands off me during dinner. And every chance he gets, he's pulling me into storage closets and kitchens and alleys to..."celebrate".

My resignation letter was rejected by my boss with his sexy, trademark smirk and an "I highly suggest you read the fine print of your contract...." So, I did. And now I've realized that unless I fake my death, poison him, or find a way to renegotiate my impossible contract, I'm stuck working under one of the cockiest and most ruthless bosses in New York. Then again, I thought that was the case until he called me late last night with an emergency proposition....

Deadly but Fun!
Thoroughly enjoyable read! You have to love the characters. The plot’s handled differently from what I’m used to reading and it’s refreshing. The narrators are 2 of my favorite, so that was also a treat. Lance and Mackenzie are always awesome and made this book even more enjoyable.💖💖💖

She doth protest too much - and I was there for it
As long as you come at it in a “goodnight Wesley, I’ll most likely kill you in the morning” kind of way,
this was a lot of fun. If you think too deeply about how Cassandra’s been coerced and desired/used for her body by her parents, tutors, and now the husband who bought her, you might go nuts trying to figure out why his brand of control is okay.
You’ll also want to brace for the cat euphemisms, like him thinking about how he’ll tame her,
make her purr, and have her eating out of his hands.
At novella length, this is all about the cat-ate-the-canary set up and the sexy times that ensue when a tomcat and a kitten both get to scratch that itch.

Sometimes what you think is bad is actually good!
I loved this instalove romance story. The story was very entertaining and enjoyable. There were several spots where I was surprised. The characters were interesting. There are a lot of feels in this story as well.
*****Blurb -
Luke Knight thinks he can own me, can hurry me into a wedding, and then into his bed. He seems to know everything about me. But he’s missed the most important point—I’m dastardly. But I like his estate and all his money, so I’ll bide my time. I don’t obsess over his good looks and the way he makes me feel. Not a bit. Once he’s dead, I’ll be more than happy to be the grieving widow … on a yacht … in the Seychelles … drenched in diamonds.
Cassandra truly believes I’m the bad guy in her world. She’s wrong. I can show her how much she means to me. It will take time and coaxing, but I’ll prove to her our love is deep and true. If she tries to knife me a few times along the way, what of it? After all, a spirited woman is exactly what I need, and Cassandra Carlisle was made for me.
*****
There is a lot that you don't know when you start this book, but as you read it, you find out what brought them to where the book starts. Luke was all-in immediately and I loved that. Even when Cassandra was threatening Luke, he was still very supportive of her and her choices. Yeah, he was stalkerish in the way he found out all about her, but it was a sweet stalkerish. Cassandra cracked me up with the threats as did Luke's reaction to them. I loved their happy ever after. I definitely recommend reading this book. Or listening to it!

What?
Where to begin.
This book literally uses the PRECISE SAME LANGUAGE as the book I just finished.
** Can one plagiarize oneself?????
I am talking word for word in some scenes.
Besides that, there is NO story. NADA. ZIP.
I cannot stress this enough.
** What you listened to in the audio sample is essentially all there will ever be.
Zero character development. There is no tension as they consummate the marriage immediately and then have quasi-interesting sex that is unrealistic and unimaginative.
I love the female narrator.
Although the male has a beautiful voice he was overacting, I repeatedly pleaded for him to please shut up already!
I cannot trust this author after literally reading a clone of like 75% of her previously read book.

His Deadly Darling
I enjoy MINK’s books my favorite so far is Beauty and the Beast and this book comes in second place. I liked the storyline and the smexy times were good but not great. I’m not sure what was missing but it felt incomplete so it was just okay.
Is it worth a credit? It’s a maybe 🤔 yes or maybe a no. 🤷🏼♀️
