Resumen del Editor

A dazzling Audible Original written by Natalie Cooper, performed by Jenna Coleman (Victoria, The Cry)

Iris Nightingale is more than okay. She has her life planned out to a perfect schedule. Work, run, sleep, repeat. She spends her quiet Friday nights sitting alone on a bench in the park, trying to push back the memories that no amount of running can help her escape.

But one evening, there’s someone else on her bench - Hunter. Tall, wry and infuriating: everything about him gets under Iris’s skin. Little does she know that he's about to upset more than just her routines...

Hired as a consultant at the firm where Iris works as engineering manager, Hunter has a knack for knowing just what to say to irritate her, and Iris can’t help rising to the spark in his eyes each time.

Sent away on a work trip together, Iris is taken out of her comfort zone. As their connection deepens, will Iris finally be able to face the memories that have been haunting her for years? Can her blossoming relationship with Hunter survive some brutal truths?

Only one thing is certain: The spark between them is beyond Iris’s expertise, and there's no running away from it.

great story with excellent narration

loved this book but found myself getting frustrated with Iris. Her stubbornness made her unlikeable at times but in the end she redeemed herself.

Cute Story with Fantastic Narration

First, let me say that Jenna Coleman was fantastic at narrating this story. We all knew where this story was going and at times it was infuriating how Iris caused so many of issues through her unhealthy mindset. Hunter, was wise enough to get therapy when he needed it, and she needed it so much more. But aside from that, there is a twist that I never saw coming, and it is a doozy. Was this the perfect romance story? No. But was it a pretty darn good one with an amazing narrator? Yes!

The dark nature of the story gets ahold of you .

I thought I was in for a rather long and boring read. Then I started reading this and I just couldn’t put it down. So many twists and turns, so many surprises in the story line that you never see coming. This is one of those books that will stay with you well past the last page. Definitely recommend reading.

Hang in there!

Both a running theme and advice to the reader: hang in there! It’s hard to understand Iris’ perspective (and sometimes lack thereof) when she responds so defensively to Hunter both externally and internally. But hang in there! There’s much to learn about both characters and the way their relationship and the story plays out is SO satisfying.

Definitely a story to pin for re-listening.

Pretty good

Enjoyed the book overall - lots of snarky snippy sarcasm that had strong underlayment of humor and warmth. Overlaying this is a woman's anger and sorrow and guilt surrounding her husband who was gone (reader does not know why) which fully support her anxiety. I struggled with her justifying and defending her anxiety and anger and had to remind myself a lot she was emotionally really wounded. The resolution of all the above made for an intriguing and finally endearing story. Jenn Coleman's narration stood out in a truly positive way.

Good story line

Good story, I enjoyed the female narrator but wished Hunter had a different voice, at times it was hard to follow who was speaking.

This was truly excellent

I read/listen to a lot of romance. This was truly excellent. The writing is clever and fun and as others have mentioned, the banter between them is great. But it has many twists that I never saw coming and issues that added a LOT of depth to this book. Will def check out more by this author.

LOVE

The book was great everything made sense it was very detailed. All of my question were answered. This is my first book experience on Audible I hope every book is just as good.

Fun, Well-Written Office Romance

This book has some of the best banter between a worthy man and a reluctant woman I’ve ever encountered in a book. Well-paced, with good supporting characters, An interesting work environment. Recommended!

A sweet story

Ok, sure, it’s a love story, we know what will happen….but it was lovely, and a fun light read. Just what I needed this week, so I give it a thumbs up! If you need a little something to get your mind off things, this was a winner for me!
