Australian crime reporter Maddie Grey is out of her depth in New York, miserable, and secretly drawn to her powerful, twice-married media mogul boss, Elena Bartell, who eats failing newspapers for breakfast. As work takes them to Australia, Maddie is goaded into a brief, seemingly harmless bet with her enigmatic boss - where they have to tell the complete truth to each other. It backfires catastrophically.

Contains mature themes.

I absolutely loved the book when I read it. I loved the interaction between the two main characters and how hints at Elena's character were revealed. It was fun reading about their interactions and Elena's reluctant toleration of Maddie growing to an appreciation and a need. This harkens back to old black and white movies with witty banter between the two main characters.

But Ms Dawe turns out to vastly enhance the book, which i didn't think possible. She perfectly conveys Maddie's emotions and provides a really humanizing portrayal of Maddie, especially her shock and embarrasment, which happens a lot in this book. She makes Maddie completely adorable and wonderful.

She also makes Felicity just borderline awful, but just the right side of awfully high strung.

This is one of my favorite audiobooks.

An outstanding book

This book is like a warm hug. A romantic movie, romantic comedy all of the things. I know about nothing about fashion, but this book doesn’t beat you over the head with it. There’s no stereotypical (at least in most LesFics) breakup that makes absolutely no sense besides lengthening the book. I hate those. Lee winter usually strays from that nonsense. This is a slow burn through and through with excellent side characters. Angela Dawe’s French, American, Australian accents were perfect as well. Lee Winter made the absolute perfect choice in narrator. I am glad I listened to this instead of read, Dawe is that fantastic. She brightens the story.

Seriously, this book will ruin lesfics for you. Lee Winter will. There is no match to her story telling. It spans continents and time. The only book that can follow this one in my opinion is Requiem, also by Winter.

Best Book I’ve ever listened to.

I read this book on a boring night. Yeah it was not boring anymore. I love this author and narrator. I would have liked a continuation to their story I liked everything about this book. How a crush can turn into so much more. LOVED IT!

This is a book for all the romantics out there. Lee Winter has pulled off a story that will tug at your heart strings along with other things (wink wink). This truly is a must read and believe any reader interested in a lesbian love story will fall in love with this story too. Best book ever!!!!

One of the greatest love stories in this genre!

Is has been quite a while since I have listened to such an engaging extremely well read book. The combination of a well written story with an excellent narration kept me interested and in awe for more than 11 hours. lee winter wrote a great book excellent and interesting characters, and Angela Dawe with the variety of accents and a great voice made it come to life.

OMG

I have hearing issues and finding an audiobook that not only do I like but that has a narrator I can understand is a difficult task. Angela Dawe could read the phone book and I'd listen. As for the story, pfft, perfect Lee Winter. Her books are raw and real and the reader is immersed into the lives of the characters. Add in Ms Dawe's ability of story telling (as in not just reading, but telling) and immersion becomes a mild word. The story itself is a slow burn with a lot of flare ups. If you are in it for the sex, it doesn't happen for a while. If you are into it for character development, story and world building, and interactions between enough characters you are intrigued but not so many you forget who the hell is who, hold on and hit play.

Well Done
