About this listen

In this audio-first rom com by #1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely, a scorching one-night stand with a stranger turns into a deliciously forbidden romance...

My first evening in London feels like kismet when I bump into a charming, book-loving Englishman, and by the end of the night, he’s making me see stars. I’m floating when we make plans to meet again.

Then fate decides to pull a fast one on me.

Turns out, my smoldering new lover is my red-hot competition, and we’re vying for the same promotion at the elite auction house I crossed an ocean for.

If that’s not enough, the hottie and I are forced to work together on a brand new collection. Every. Single. Tempting. Day.

What's an American woman in London to do?

Staying far, far away would be the safe choice, especially when I learn about his past and how it mirrors mine. But I don’t always play it safe with my heart…

Art & Accents💞

I was so excited that Kismet was an Audible Original! It is the perfect weekend listen packed with art, bad pick up lines (Julia delivers them perfectly) and a yummy British accent (courtesy of Mr Shane East).

Romantic and steamy

Kismet! What a powerful word. Falling in love with Heat is falling in love with London for Jo. This book is perfect for this month of love and kisses! I want the book of places to kiss in London! I love how they fall in love and manage everything that came to their doors. Romantic and the perfect amount of steamy ❤️ the audio is pretty amazing 😻

A must for a feel good read

Really fun, upbeat, entertaining! Takes an old theme, gives it a bit of a twist, no over-the-top drama. A genuinely fun, well narrated book.

Just what I needed

I truly enjoyed this story. When I saw that Shane East was narrating in this, I was sold. I love his voice. Julia Whelan as narrator turned out to be a great surprise! I’ll be looking for her narrated books too.
The story was believable, in my opinion. I can only hope a man like Heath actually exists. Theirs is a great love story. This would make a great movie. I’d definitely see it.
