Publisher's summary

In a last-ditch attempt to secure an investor for an app she’s developed, Rome Foster travels to her namesake city hoping her luck is going to change. Just as she’s about to pitch her life’s work, she meets the charming and captivating Nadine, a high-end escort who shocks Rome by flirting with her. Rome is straight, but Nadine sparks up a fire in her so strong that it seems impossible to extinguish.

Nadine Costa is pleased with the way her life is going. She lives in a fantastic apartment in the city she loves, and her lucrative job provides the funds she needs to support her expensive passion: perfume-making. When Rome crosses her path, she knows she’s never smelled anything quite so exquisite in her life.

Rome is a loner and doesn’t let people in, but when an incident occurs and Nadine steps in to save her, she realizes her feelings go deeper than just lust. Neither of them was looking for something more than physical, but when the stars are aligned, it’s hard to escape destiny!

Wonderful story

Audible version as good as the book, but better listening to it. The only thing is that Nadines character should have had a more sultry voice than the screechy voice she had in this book. The image portrayed by the description provided by the author would have called for a deeper sexier voice, other than that this book was fantastic.

I really like Lise Gold books

This doesn’t disappoint. It’s sweet, and touches on important issues. The live story felt good. Not too overwhelming. Just sweet and perfect.

Ok but a little tedious

I love Rome, and I loved the large part of this book, but about 6 hours into listening it started to annoy me, the story was not flowing naturally, beside for a book taking place in Rome I wanted more descriptions of one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

Such a beautifully written story

There wasn't a moment where I thought, this would never happen. The characters, their dilmenas, their evolution, it all nicely progressed. Lise Good also dealt with a difficult topic in a way that didn't detract from the romance. I enjoyed getting to know Nadine the most and Eliza! The narration was great too! Very much recommend it.

Even though there are a little angst in this book, I just love how it makes you happy for Rome and Nadine. Tj Richards also have a perfect voice for this book.

Feel good!

This was a great listen! Although the underlying subject matter is serious, the determination, honesty, and the banding together if women to effect change, was such a positive and hopefuls message! We are stronger together and can do anything we set our minds to! It was also so nice to have a story line that remained so positive with no drama between the main characters and a strong message of hope and love!
