About this listen

Rafe Palazzo takes what he wants with no regrets. Arianna (Ari) Lynn Harlow has led a charmed life until tragedy strikes her family. He’s looking for a no-emotions attached mistress, she’s looking for redemption. They aren’t a pair that should ever work, but undeniable attraction and devastating tragedy brings them together in the city by the bay where he fights to keep their relationship nothing more than an enjoyable way to meet his needs, and she battles to not lose herself in him.

Spending time with Ari starts cracking the hard shell that Rafe has built around his heart, but he denies the affect she has on him until it’s too late to stop the inevitable conclusion their relationship is headed for. Rafe once believed in happily ever after, coming from a large Italian family. He’s got the Midas touch, since every endeavor he tries turns to gold. That all ends when his wife walks out the door and leaves him blindsided. His devastation quickly turns to steel when he decides no woman will fool him again. From that point on he treats relationships as nothing more than business transactions where both party’s come out mutually benefited.

Just when Ari has sunk to the lowest she’s ever been she finds an ad in the paper announcing a job that’s too good to be true. It turns out she’s right. She makes it through the intense rounds of interviews only to find out the job is for a mistress to the powerful Rafe Palazzo, owner of Palazzo Enterprises. Rafe gives her a day to think about whether she wants the position or not, and she’s sent on her way, only to find out her mother’s near-terminal illness has taken a turn for the worse. Her mom’s only in the hospital because Ari messed up, and her mother’s the one who paid the price.

Is Rafe her savior, or will he take her with him straight to the depths of hell?Ariana has a choice. Does she choose love or self-respect? Will she give up her freedom and become nothing but a shadow of herself? Ari faces an impossible ultimatum.

Horrible male voice narration

So much liked other narrations by Lily Swan. Sasha made Rafe sound snarly and gruff. If I heard a man speak like that it would set me to flight. Having read the books before and enjoyed them and also having heard the next 3 in the series I can tell you Rafe sounds like a different character. If this is the narration I heard first and before reading the books I would have gone no further in series. Sasha also makes Italian accent sound Hispanic. Will be cautious to not buy audiobooks she narrates in the future at least not without listening to a sample first to see if she has improved. Some inconsistencies in the time line of the 3 months of couples bargain. Was glad to see book 2 added to book one in this selection.

Just No!

Unlikable characters and forced situations. I didn’t realize this was a saga…it was just better to end it all with this book.
