Resumen del Editor

Sloane: Dominic Alexander is my late husband's best friend and the last man that I should want. For the last ten years, he's taken a sick pleasure in making me feel paper thin, like my existence is of no consequence to him at all.

But now, things are different.

After a drunken night, and a surprisingly sexy act of heroism, he's started to be . . . nice. Treating me like something other than the embodiment of his annoyance, which would be nice if it didn't make me feel things I swore to never feel for another man after my husband died.

Dominic: Sloane Kent is going to be my undoing.

What's worse: I think I'm going to enjoy being unraveled by the gold flecks in her hazel eyes and the way she scrunches her nose when we're arguing, which we've done a lot of over the past decade. She thinks it's because I hate her, and I've let her think that because the alternative is . . . untenable.

But something is changing between us, and I don't know how to stop myself from breaking every promise I've ever made to myself regarding my best friend's wife. Promises that include never telling her that there's a long list of things I feel about her, but hate isn't one of them.

Contains mature themes.

SENSATIONAL!!!!

Let me just say, that I was NOT ready for what this book was going to give. I read a brief description about a man falling for his best friends widow and was unsure if I would truly like it. Fortunately, I had heard so many good things that I decided to give it a shot AND BABY.....IM SO GLAD I DID! One thing that makes a good romance, in my opinion, is angst! I want to be taken on a journey of longing, sexual tension, desire. Ms. Seegars definitely did that and was an amazing captain along the way!

Ok, So to briefly describe this enemies to lovers romance, Sloan ends up taking a job with her deceased husbands best friend. The same best friend who she has always assumed hated her. Dominic has definitely had his sparring matches with Sloan but little does she know he has always had a soft spot for her and after an incident where he comes to her aide, he decides to let it be known just how deep his feelings for her go. His revelation jars Sloan but she eventually succumbs to his advances.

I was completely enthralled in this story from beginning to end. I loved the relationship between Sloan and Dominic! It started out kinda rocky but by the end, you were completely routing for them. AND THE SPICE.....10/10!!!!!! J.L really got me out her looking for my real life Dominic Alexander!

If you need a super cute, romantic and spicy read....this is the one. I highly recommend!!

This book was so riveting and romantic!

I love the characters and how the meaning of love was portrayed. Very good read.

Love Beating The Odds

This book was such a pleasant surprise; I enjoyed every minute. The background was described with visual clarity, I could actually see the details of the college campus; I could feel the struggle between Sloan and her mother. There was no down time in this book. It was laid out perfectly with a few surprises thrown in. ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Different but enjoyable

As most the lady narrator was not a good fit for this book. Wesleigh Siobhan or iikane would have been the better fit. The storyline was good, but the lady character had her annoying ways. Maybe a bit longer than need be.

Dom & Sloane Are Everything

One of my favorite romances of all time. This book handles a forbidden second chance at love, finding love after loss, and premium spice. Also, the narrators are phenomenal!

Great story

Woo Chile. This was a great story but I thought I was gonna have to lose a credit because that female narrator was not great. I got through because I love Winston James. This would have been much better with with a better female voice.

Great Story, Not so Great Female Narrator

Loved Dom and Sloan’s unconventional love story. The female narrator sounded very robotic. The male narrator was perfect.

JL Seegars is a masterful story teller!

The way this book captures your heart and mind from beginning to end is a masterclass in story telling and JL Seegars is one of my favorite authors. She is definitely top 5 for me.


I read this book on Kindle 4 times first and wanted to badly for the audiobook to draw me in the same way. The female narrator lacked all of the emotion and sounded like she was reading a manual for how to put together a bookcase or a weather forecast. This book needed the depth of a more emotional, connected narrator for the female parts since it is largely written from Sloane’s point of view. I wish she could make the voices of the characters sound different and not so flat. If I didn’t know the story well, I would have been confused about who was talking at times.

Winston James was great as always and was actually in my head as Dom while I was reading on kindle.

I really wish the parts that Dom had that were turning points in the story were narrated by Winston James.

Sweet Story!

I loved the story line, I didn’t have that much of an issue with the female narrator either. My only issue was that this book lasted too long and had some unnecessary, in my opinion, parts. Overall good book!

What a foreshadow

Honest opinion, I almost believed that Winston was actually Dom. He truly captured the emotions of the character. Bianca's voice is soft and easy on the ears, but it felt like a simple narration.

Like most love stories(books & movies), the ending seemed rushed. There was so much emphasis on the sexual scenes that, although it was predictable, it ended in one chapter.

I did enjoy it, even though I found myself shouting, "Just tell them!" and "Just say it!" and "Just tell each other!" more times then I can count. 😄

I'll probably read the next one, but I need to take a break. I can just imagine Mallory's drama. SMH while I chuckle.
