About this listen

When the grumpy CEO finds me in his office and mistakes me for someone else, I realize this could be the answer to my family’s financial problems. I just didn’t count on my heart to mess it up.

No one pays attention to me, the mailroom girl at Crawford Corporation, and I prefer it that way. Until Colton Crawford, the company’s surly CEO, finds me in his office holding another woman’s resume and offers me the Personal Assistant position on the spot so he can move on with his day. I try to correct him, only for him to increase the salary offer. It’s not like I can’t do the job, I’m more than qualified, and my family really needs the money. I vow to tell him everything… after payday.

Except, Colton makes me want things I haven’t desired in a long time. I’m afraid that when I confess, I risk losing not only my job but the one person who sees the real me.

Note: This book contains foul language, descriptive open-door love scenes, DV, and a power imbalance.

Not terrible

The storyline is pretty good, and the narration got better along with the story. The first 25% of the book is cringey and pretty bad. But Audible wouldn’t give me my credit back, so I figured I might as well listen to it. I have to say that it got much better after that. So, if you want a pretty decent story this one fits the bill. The storyline is cute and worth a listen.

great narration duo!

🅰🆄🅳🅸🅾🅱🅾🅾🅺 🆁🅴🆅🅸🅴🆆

5 stars for the narration by Allie Martina and Gideon Frost ( who are so fantastic together )
3.5 stars for the book that had all the makings of a great book but needed just a bit more fleshing out of the storyline . Eve Marian (new to me author) did a great job hooking me with the premise and the tropes, I just wish there was more details.
With that, I will say, yes, I need all the brothers' stories!!

Frances accidentally pretends to be Colton's newest PA in order to pay for her brother's tuition.
Colton is the epitome of a grumpy CEO who scares off everyone but Frances.
I really love how gentle he is with her and how she gets him to soften up.

Gideon is the perfect voice for Colton who has serious trust issues due to childhood trauma. His voice can go from growly alpha to sensitive and emotional flawlessly.
Allie portrayed Fran so beautifully. I felt all her emotions come through her narration.

GREAT READ/EXCELLENT NARRATORS

Let me start of by saying that this is the first book I read/listen to from this author (Eve Marian) and it will not be my last. I love me a good Office Romance/Boss-PA trope and this book did NOT disappoint. Colton Crawford is the CEO of Crawford Corp. and Frances is an employee who worked in the mailroom until a little Mix-Up ended in her working as Colton's personal assistant. In no time, the work/personal relationship between the two of them begin to grow, but when secrets are exposed and trust is broken, the two must navigate between what is real and worth it.

I really enjoyed this story. Despite their different background, the one thing Colton & Frances have in common is their loyalty to family. Neither will stop at anything to make sure their families are taken care off. Orphaned at a young age and taken advantage of by a family member, Colton is very cautious about who he lets into his life. He has lived trying to make up for a mistake he feels responsible for. Frances on the other hand works to take care of her family, especially her brother. While her past is different than Colton's, she, too, was taken advantage of someone he trusted. Their pasts still haunts them and they both have to work through those internalized feelings. What I love is that they worked through this separately, but also together. I enjoyed how their work-relationship turned into friendship and eventually love.

I am a big audio book girlie, and I breezed through this one. Allie Martina and Gideon Frost did a fantastic job narrating Frances and Colton. There is part in this book in which Frances deals with a scary and traumatic situation with her abusive ex-boyfriend and Allie Martina poured her every emotion into that part. I felt Frances' fear, but also her strength. The way Allie transformed herself into the character of Frances was just phenomenal.

I can't wait for the next books in the series to be available in audio.

Enterttaining

Eve Marian is a new author to me as are narrators Allie Martina and Gideon Frost. This was an entertaining listen that ticked numerous boxes for me. Please heed the trigger warnings as there are some subjects which may be a trigger.

I will admit there were times when I was frustrated with both Colton and Frances. Can a relationship started with a lie survive when secrets are revealed?

Colton is definitely a grump and it was entertaining to watch Frances bring light into his life. The narration by Allie and Gideon was easy to listen too, their voices are pleasant and did justice to the story that Ms. Marian wove. They brought the story and characters to life for me.

A convenient mix up

Gideon Frost might be my new favorite narrator. The way he voiced Colton made me fall in love with the grumpy hero! When Frances needs to come up with some money fast, an opportunity comes up she can’t pass up. Frances is shy and would rather go unnoticed. If you want to fall in love with the perfect couple who complement each other, this is the story! Hot scenes and a lot of heart.

Brilliant Story & Narration🎧Gripping & Heartfelt!

Sometimes I am late to the party because not all authors get to bring their books to audio right away, but how have I not heard of this author before, Eve Marian, so not only did this book impress me, but so did her wonderful writing style and creative mind. She puts her own unique spin on an office/work place romance and the story not only captivated my attention the entire time, but it tugged at my heartstrings, too. You could feel the emotions pour off the pages into your heart. The characters are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with, they are easy to like and root for too. Frances “Frannie” Netto works in the mailroom at Crawford Corporation, despite having a college degree in business. She lacks confidence and prefers to remain in the background, a nobody that no one sees, and while the pay is not the best, she likes her job. The CEO of the company, Colton Crawford, is a tough person to work for and goes through personal assistants because no one wants to put up with his grumpy attitude. Frannie’s friend Erika tells her she should apply for the position, but she declines. While dropping off a package in this office, she picks up an applicant’s resume to check out, and the boss catches her red-handed demands to know what she was doing. He took her by surprise and everything just happens so quickly and she is his hired as his new personal assistant, except she is not who he thinks she is. She goes along with it and thinks the salary will really help and she’ll make it work for two weeks before coming clean. She turns out to be a resourceful P.A. and impresses him with how she handles her work, and has been less grumpy, too. There is an undeniable chemistry between them, and they could only deny each other for so long. I loved how everything played out in this book, as well as all the layers of the story. The complexity of the characters is absolutely amazing, and it was great to watch them get to know each other and the character growth is also amazing, and I loved how they grow into their own by the end, especially Frannie, who became the person she was meant to be, strong, confident and not afraid to go after what she wants. This wonderfully plotted story has the perfect balance of drama, angst, heartfelt emotions and steamy romance. Eve Marian, thank you for this amazing story and emotional rollercoaster ride, I hope to hear more of your books soon.

🎧📚🎧Allie Martina and Gideon Frost are exceptional at what they do, bringing these characters to life from the pages to your ears. Humanizing them with their emotions and personality and understand the characters they are portraying, giving each a voice that is fitting. I loved how they took each role and owned it, sounding believable and just as I imagined the characters to sound. Martina nailed it as Frannie, grasping all aspects of who she was, building up her characters and transforming her from the insecure wallflower to the confident woman she became. Frost nailed it as Colton and he, too, grasped all sides of his personality, from a grumpy boss alpha-hole to his vulnerable side, to his caring side, and all in between. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling each one. These entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen to and their performance elevates this already fantastic story to another level. Thank you for another amazing listen.

Wow! An emotional powerhouse perfectly done!

When Colton Crawford arrogantly makes an assumption that puts Frances Netto in the position of financially securing her younger brother’s immediate academic future, she doesn’t correct him. After all, it’s only two weeks … then she’ll come clean … what could go wrong … Oh what a tangled web we weave… isn’t that how the saying goes? Beautifully, heart fully and most of all emotionally written, this story, this beautifully complex story had me laughing, crying and wanting to punch walls, sometimes ALL at the same time! Possibly triggering for some, the takeaway, beautifully executed, is that survival IS possible, healing IS possible and happiness is not only possible but is DESERVED! Both the hero and the heroine in this story are damaged by events in their pasts. Both need to come to terms with that damage, to find a way to heal and move forward. This is their stories, and that is all the plot detail I am giving. Going further would venture into spoilerville and I’m not going there! Know that the ride is emotional, powerful, and you’ll not be the same when finished. The characters are wonderfully defined, realistically drawn and cover all ranges of the human spectrum. There were a few that I would have cheerfully taken a croquet mallet to at one point or another, some of those I had a change of heart on … some not, and some I wanted to adopt me! I leave the identities anonymous to preserve the mystique of this marvelous listen! The narration, oh my stars, holy WOW!!! The narration was beyond spectacular! The gut wrenching, soul searing emotional pain and trauma that these characters were feeling came through loud, and crystal clear, via astounding vocal intonation, inflection and character voicing! I was stunned silent, and sat slack jawed, tears streaming while listening as the authors vision stunningly played out! This beyond fabulous collaboration of writing and narration is deserving of many more than the five stars I am allowed to award! I will be looking for more in this stunning series! Five stunning stars!

Entertaining listen with great narration

This is the first book I have read or listened to by Eve Marian and the narrators Allie Martina and Gideon Frost are also new to me. I love finding new authors and new narrators so I was excited to see where this book took me and I wasn’t disappointed.
Allie Martina and Gideon Frost did a great job with the narration and they really were spot on bringing the characters and their story to life.
Is this is a case of mistaken identity……..
Colton is CEO of Crawford Corporation and he goes through his PA’s because of his grumpy, rude ways. Once again he looking for a new PA and Frances a mailroom clerk see the resume on his desk and what follows is an entertaining journey. So can a relationship survive when secrets are being kept. One click to find out.
