About this listen

From New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Jennifer Probst comes a new story in her Stay series.

Jonathan Lake is the beloved NYC mayor who’s making a run for governor. His widowed status and close relationship with his daughter casts him as the darling of the press, and the candidate to beat, but behind the flash of the cameras, things are spinning out of control. It all has to do with his strait-laced, ruthlessly organized assistant. Her skills and reserved demeanor are perfect to run his campaign, but her brilliant brain has become a temptation he’s been fighting for too long. Can he convince her to take a chance on a long-term campaign for love, or will his efforts end up in scandal?

Alyssa Block has admired the NYC mayor for a long time, but her secret crush is kept ruthlessly buried under a mountain of work. Besides, she’s not his type, and office scandals is not in her job position. But when they retreat to an upstate horse farm for a secluded weekend, the spark between them catches flame, and Jonathan sets those stinging blue eyes on winning her. Can she convince him to focus on the upcoming election, or will she succumb to the sweet promise of a different future?

For fans of Jennifer Probst’s Stay series, Something Just Like This is book four in that series.

Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a stand-alone story. For new listeners, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.

Great job by the narrators for this story.

Now that Ethan, Harper, and Ophelia have found their happy ever afters, we come back to Jonathan Lake, Mayor of NYC - for whom Mia does PR. He's been a widower for 5 years, with a daughter (Chloe) who must be 20 or 21 by now. Alyssa is his personal assistant of two years, and while they are as different as night and day in their personalities, he's starting to think of her in a different way. But due to his position as mayor and also his upcoming run for Governor, he needs to take a careful approach - he doesn't want to scare away the best assistant he's ever had.

Alyssa has been crushing on Jonathan for a while, but she always maintains her professionalism at work or while out in public. Now that he's offered up the potential future relationship, she has to decide if it's worth the risk - not just to her private life, as she's never been fond of the spotlight, but also his career in politics.

I enjoyed this easy to read short story.

I enjoyed the premise and the tension between the characters. It felt it was a story with constant high stakes and the chemistry just elevated it even more. The narration is FANTASTIC! A great addition to the series.

Solid Novella! Great narration.

Jonathan’s character was originally introduced in the first book in this series when his daughter got into legal trouble and was assigned to do community service with Harper’s rescue horses. I really liked his personal and professional integrity and was touched by his grief for his wife and his deep concern for his daughter’s welfare in that story. Now it’s Jonathan’s turn to find happiness but it’s not easy being in the spotlight, especially when he’s running for governor while being a popular mayor and wanting to date his office assistant Alyssa. I enjoyed the characters, their strengths and vulnerabilities and the chance to reunite with all the characters I have come to know and love. I listened to the audiobook and I really enjoyed the narration performances of Brian Pallino and Erin Bennett.

Enjoyable!
