About this listen
You might think it’s reckless for a single mom to enter into a marriage of convenience with her boss . . .You would be correct.
To make matters worse, Abel King is a grumpy local brewer with a criminal past. He also happens to be my boss and a total stick-in-the-mud. Every time I come to work with a smile and wave, I’m lucky if I can get a grunt in response.
When I accidentally-on-purpose overhear that he’s having trouble securing a business loan due to his criminal record, I hatch a plan to help the both of us.
The arrangement is perfect—a business transaction and nothing more. Like having a roommate without the hassle of other people bugging you for dates.
I will definitely not be falling in love with him—no matter how many times he says “my wife” and tingles dance in all the right places.
Trouble is, as time goes on, things stop feeling like business and start feeling a whole lot like pleasure . . . and really, that’s just my luck . .

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 225
Whip King cannot be the man for me. Cocky, pierced firefighters are perfect for late-night rom-coms, but in real life they’re nothing but trouble. Especially when you find out they work for your dad—after you’ve already slept with them. Moving to my parents’ small town was supposed to be the fresh start I was looking for. When a disastrous Valentine’s Day leads to an unexpected encounter with a sexy stranger, and ends with the hottest night of my life, I didn’t think I would ever see Whip again.

For a long time now, I’ve despised Weston Shaw. He’d been someone I’d admired, taking my favorite football team, the Colorado Mustangs, to the Super Bowl. But that all turned upside down after one night that had nothing to do with me. We share one undeniable connection: his son, Caleb. Unfortunately, the circumstances behind that have never been my story to tell. But now, the truth is out, and I’m left to deal with the consequences. I’m living under the same roof as Weston, and each day, I discover a side of him I never expected.

Demi Crawford was Magnolia Falls royalty. I was the boxer from the wrong side of the tracks. She was the epitome of everything good, while I was broody and rebellious. We couldn’t be more different. Her family was enemy number one which made her guilty by association. I despised her before I even knew her. It was easier that way. But now she’d moved in next door to me, and she was everywhere I turned. I couldn’t avoid her no matter how hard I tried. She was beautiful and honest and sweet. Everything I knew I shouldn’t want. Shouldn’t need.

The scowl should’ve been my first clue to stay far away from Anson Hunt. The sexy smirk and the fact that he’s my brother’s best friend? Reasons two and three. Not to mention, he’s the new contractor working on my house. He’s everything I’m not: grumpy, rude, and more than a little attached to his solitude. It doesn’t matter how many times I try to kill him with kindness; the man simply won’t crack. Until he sees me shatter. Because when my world comes crashing down around me, Anson is the one catching me as I fall.

One letter changed my life. One night with him might change my forever. Inheriting a beach house in a small town you've never heard of is less than ideal. Falling for the broody bar owner who hates me because he wants the house? Even worse. I came to Carrington Cove for one reason: to renovate the home I knew nothing about, sell it, and get back to my life in D.C. and my multi-million dollar business. There was nothing on the agenda about falling for Dallas, the sexy former Marine who chastises me about my manners and withholds how to fend off the murderous geese on my property.

I caught her staring at me from across the quad, eyes fixed on the football jersey stretched across my wide chest. And if I flexed my muscles, showing off the strength of a defensive tackle, it was just to see her blush. And then she did, and I couldn’t get her out of my mind. Her wide eyes. The freckles on her cheeks. I needed to know her. The girl who scampered away every time we bumped into each other—by accident and by design.

A forbidden romance with my brother’s hockey teammate wasn’t on my to-do list when I moved across the country… Neither was getting locked out of a friend’s place wearing next to nothing. Or spending the night with the sexy stranger who rescues me. But I’m trying to get out of my comfort zone so getting out of the rest of my clothes with him seems like a good way to start. In the morning, I learn the filthy-mouthed man with the talented hands is not only the hotshot new hockey player on my brother’s team: he’s also–wait for it–my brand new roommate.

He's the hottest man I've ever seen, someone I can't forget. So it hurts when I find out I've slept with the enemy. As a list maker and a rule follower, the last thing I planned on one of the worst days of my life was to fall into bed with a guy who literally charmed the clothes right off of me. With him, I felt safe to lay my sadness down for the night and embrace a stranger. Little did I know, that hot, gorgeous man would be Jamison Ledger, the one who has taken everything I've ever wanted—my legacy, my happiness, and what I've worked my whole life to attain.

My life is dangerous. My calling wicked. Willing to cross any line to protect the innocent. I thought I’d never see her again until my little boy tumbled and busted his lip, and I found her working at the doctor’s office. The woman who’d taken possession of my thoughts. When it becomes clear she’s in trouble, I offer up a deal.

Swoon!!!
4.5
Are you kidding me! I don't know if it's because I listened to the audio, but I was swooning and smiling the whole damn book! There are so many amazing lines, and I'm pretty sure Abel is my new book husband. The spice did not overtake the book. The single mom trope was perfect, and I'm a sucker for a morally grey man who goes to therapy. So much, yes!!!
I took off a half a star simply because I was so tired of hearing the words "wife" and "boss." Other than that, I LOVED this!!

some mysterious things going on
this story made me laugh it made me smile it made me cry it even had my anxiety up. This was such a fabulous story. this has like an underlining story going through another story so there's kind of two stories going on here at once obviously you have the two main characters and their story but then there's a background story going on that is happening which is where a lot of the mysteriousness comes in. this story is very gripping it keeps you extremely involved that you want to know what's going on from one step to the next it's sweet romantic sexy it's got it all pretty much the narrator's doing absolute fabulous job of bringing these characters to life and I would recommend

So freaking good
I was a little bit cautious or felt a little wary about this story. I had a gut feeling that I would like it, but since the first book didn’t really give me that punch in the gut big climax big reveal feeling I was a little worried that this one would lack as well. Boy was wrong. The story was fantastic.

Book & Audio Review
This one so far has been my favorite of the series! I'm a sucker for a single mom story and a man that shows up for kids that aren't his. I loved Sloane’s and Abel’s witty banter and it started from the get go. We love pining MC’s that enter into a mutually beneficial marriage of convenience. Sloane was funny and took what she wanted, no second guessing. Abel was an absolute teddy bear with a gruff exterior. There was still this air of mystery that I'm so excited to uncover with the coming books.
This was a first for me by narration Sean Crisden, I think he played the perfect Abel. Brooding attitude and all along with the softness he had around Sloane and the twins. Ava made me kick my heels screaming in laughter with her portrayal of Sloane.

After devouring Just This Once, I had to immediately dive into Abel's story - I knew it was going to be good and I am so glad I was right. Lena Hendrix creates these complex characters that just wrap you into their world and make you never want to leave. This is one of my favorite marriage of convenience stories and once again, leaves questions to be answered that have me itching for the next book ASAP.

This is not only a marriage of convenience perfection but the grumpy x sunshine banter is top tier. Abel is closed off but Sloane slowly chips away at his walls and his love for both her and her children really has him becoming that alpha protective MMC that I just adore. The "my wife" moments are so good and, just like his brother in book 1, the King men have a mouth on them that just get me riled up. The spice hit perfectly.
I absolutely adored Sloane as the FMC. She is so fierce and fun. The way she winds Abel up is priceless. She is the shoulder Abel needs to lean on but she also allows him to be her comfort zone too. Absolute SWOON!
Both plots - Abel's family dynamic & Sloane's ex-drama propel the story forward but it's Abel & Sloane's marriage that really takes center stage. The way their family unit bonds and the open communication between all of them really had me going through all the emotions.
🎧 I listened to this one and it was my first Sean Crisden book - he was SO GOOD! Loved both his and Ava Erikson's performances.
I am so invested in this story and there are still loose ends that I can't wait to see play out next. I just know Royal's book is going to be 🔥 and I can't wait!

I love this Family
I was so excited to read about Abel. He really intrigued me when we got introduced in the sullivan series. I love a marriage of conveniences/ workplace romance. I liked Abel's story a lot more than whips. We learned alot about not only Abel but the King Family. I can't wait for the next book in this series.

SO HEALING
I think Lena Hendrix put SOMETHING in this because I was eating it up! I've said it once, and I'll say it again, I AM A KING GIRLY. Sorry Sullivans :).
I really enjoyed how Sloane (and her kiddos) were able to help Abel to heal while also getting control over their own lives. The healing quality of this book was so amazing and I just wanted to squeeze each and every one of them.
But the mysteries that aren't quite answered yet HAVE ME ON EDGE! Can't wait to find out more!
While I wasn't "obsessed" with the male narrator's voice per se, I still thought he did a good job. And Ava Erickson slays at everything she does!! Loved!
