About this listen

USA Today best-selling author Marni Mann brings an angsty, tortured hero, billionaire romance to the sizzling conclusion of the Spade Hotel series.

They call me insensitive.
They call me uncaring.
I'm a raging alphahole ninety-nine percent of the time.

But no one really knows Rhett Cole at all.

Memories are my currency.
Regret is my drink of choice.

I’m not the guy who didn’t care.
I’m the guy who only cared about her.

Lainey Taylor.

My reason.
My why.
My one.
The woman I’ve been in love with since my freshman year of high school.

A love so strong that I had her name inked on my body when I was eighteen.
She was my fairy tale.
My happily ever after.

Until I ruined… everything.
Until she looked me in the face and told me she never wanted to see me again.

That’s the day my life lost all meaning.

Fifteen years later, she’s back, and my dead heart begins to beat again.

Every story has a villain.
I’ve held that title for too long.

When the truth is revealed…

Will I win back the one?

So good!!

Every Marni book that I read I say is my favorite, but I can firmly say that Rhett is definitely my all-time favorite!! To listen to how he’d gotten his heart so broken & to finally get his “why” back was heart wrenching. I laughed, I cried, I swooned! Rhett & Lainey’s love story is one for ages. A true happily ever after!!!

Lainey and Rhett

Such an emotional storyline! Rhett has suffered for so long! Such a wonderful way how Lainey and her family find out the truth. I loved how Rhett gets his happily ever after with her.
I’m sorry Marni but I didn’t enjoy the female narrator.

Beautiful, emotional love story

I read A LOT of books or listen on Audible & this book blew me away!! I loved it! The love between Rhett & Lainey was so beautiful & the series of events that occurred were heart wrenching. My emotions were all over the place! This one made me cry, sad tears & then happy ones. Adding Marni Mann as a favorite author!!

incredible second chance romance with an incredible performance

“𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘳.
𝘔𝘺 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴—𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘰𝘶𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘥.”

💭🥹 I am absolutely floored. Rhett has been the biggest
mystery this whole series, and I don't even know what to
say that will do this book justice.

YALL ARE NOT READY FOR THIS BOOK. (but please pick it
up and read it anyways because it's incredible.) I knew that
Rhett had a STORY TO TELL. But I was not prepared. I felt
so absolutely devastated for him the whole time. I physically
ached for him, Lainey, all they lost, what could have been.

I cannot remember the last time I felt THIS empty but so full
after reading a book. It was such a hard and painful road to
their HEA but they got there. 😭

Loved it!

What a fantastic read!! I loved it! I got wrapped up in this one so quickly that I had to get the audio so I didn’t have to put it down! I have loved this series so much and this one just made it that much better! The narrators did a wonderful job bringing the characters to life. The reason I felt all the feels as deeply as I did was because of them. I felt like I was right there in this story. Oh the emotions you will feel! If you are in the hunt for a billionaire, second chance, emotional, spicy read look no further!! This one must go on the tbr!!!

❤️ Rhett & Lainey ❤️ -- loved this story

Loved this story & how it was told! Revealing the past bit by bit kept it interesting & suspenseful. You knew something happened 15 years ago, but what? The reveal was very emotional, & the voice acting was superb by Connor Crais & Samantha Brentmoor. You gotta ❤️ Craismoor! or should I say CraveMore?! So much talent right there! Also, this is the 2nd Marni Mann book in a row that Connor has narrated & she's 2 for 2 with great stories for me. Gonna be checking out her past books for sure! This one kept me so interested that I finished in a single session! And, the funny parts w/ Rhett's niece, Daisy, were the perfect counterbalance to the heavier stuff. 5+☆ all the way around!

Nobody compares to Rhett Cole

This story is phenomenal! Rhett Cole's story completely wrecked me. Throughout this series, he has been the grumpy one who never wanted to be around and always seemed troubled. His actions were confusing and unexplained, but he was clearly holding on to something that made it impossible for him to really live his life. Now we know exactly what this poor, tortured man was going through. Rhett and Lainey's journey broke my heart and then put it back together.

Rhett and Lainey were high school sweethearts who planned to stay together forever. They were inseparable until a tragic event changed their lives forever. After fifteen years of no contact, they unexpectedly reunite. Determined to have another chance with the woman who has always had his heart, Rhett is ready to reveal the truth. Using a dual timeline was the perfect way to tell Rhett's story, and it revealed important details about what made Rhett the man he is in the present. He is a heartbroken, protective man who made decisions in the past he felt would protect the one he loves.

I am a huge fan of second-chance romance stories, and this one is beautifully written. This book is more than just a typical love story; it’s a moving journey that connects you to Rhett and Lainey and their feelings. I felt Rhett's grief and deep love for Lainey. I felt so sad for these two and was rooting for them. They were truly meant to be together, and I loved every second of their emotional journey back to each other. The One is a must-read and did not disappoint. Will you cry? All signs point to yes. Is it worth it? Absolutely!

Narration:
Samantha Brentmoor and Connor Crais perform this audiobook in dual-style narration. I can begin to express how much I enjoyed this audiobook. I started reading this book and then grabbed the audiobook on release day. I am so glad I did. Reading and listening to this book in tandem was an amazing experience. Samantha and Connor are two of my favorite narrators, and their voices worked so well together for Rhett and Lainey's story. Samantha and Connor are the perfect voices for these complex characters, and they brought them to life in the best way. Marni has written an incredibly emotional story, and being able to hear these emotions had a deep impact on me. I thoroughly enjoyed my immersive reading experience.

Heartbreakingly Beautiful Love Story

The One by Marni Mann was a heartbreakingly beautiful love story that will give you all the feels. Connor Crais and Samantha Brentmoor were fantastic bringing Rhett and Lainey’s love story to life and conveying all the feelings and emotions these two felt. Rhett and Lainey so deserved their HEA.
