Lily, you predictable perv. I knew you'd open this email faster if I tempted you with a glimpse of JT's "PP". Well, put your pants back on and grab some bubbly because I have much better news to share.

I got a job!

As of tomorrow, I'll be the new executive assistant at Lorena Lefray Designs. I am so excited, but there's one itty bitty problem: I won't be Lorena's assistant. I'll be working for her older brother, Julian.

I know what you're thinking - "But Jo, what's the problem?"

Google him. Now. He's the man in the fitted navy suit whose face reminds you that there's hope yet for this cruel, ugly world. Keep scrolling.... Do you see those dimples? Yup. That's the Julian Lefray I will be reporting to tomorrow morning.

Lord, help us all....

XO,
Jo

Meh.

It was ok for an Audible Escapes title but I’m glad I didn’t spend a credit on it. A bit boring and repetitive at times—her constant anxiety about student loan payments certainly didn’t help my anxiety about mine—and just ridiculously unbelievable at times. Also, I almost stopped listening because of the male narrator. His wasn’t the most natural of deliveries and a smoker’s rasp is never sexy. Also, I completely agree with another reviewer: More sex, please! Fantastic writers with really unique stories (like Diana Gabaldon or Camilla Monk) can get away with less sex/really slow build to sex, but most books in this genre need some spice in order to hold the reader’s interest.

Cute ROM Com

This was a cutesy contemporary romance book. Perfect for playing while cleaning or running errands.

R.S. Grey needs to follow an outline

This is probably the third R.S. Grey book I have listened to and I can’t help but feel frustrated every time. No loose ends are ever wrapped up, and there are always inconsistent details within the book that distract from any humor or sweetness of the story. If you aren’t a detail oriented person, it probably won’t bother you. Otherwise it was kind of a cute story.

👏

Not one of my absolute favorite books by Grey, but it was all right. The signature wittiness and hilarity was there, except the story didn’t engage me like the other books have.

There wasn’t much of a relationship build-up since the attraction between the two main characters were immediate. The flirting was pretty cute and enjoyable, though. The intimate scenes were all right, not super heated like in other books.

The narrators were good. Accents were hilarious and wonderful. In the beginning, they sounded very robotic, but it got better.

One thing I like is how the male narrator actually got more “screen time!” Usually they don’t get as much, which is a major bummer, but this story gives that opportunity.

Dreams become reality

Girl leaves small town in Texas searching for dream in New York City. Along with an excellent wardrobe she brings a huge blog following. Fun story with great characters.

Enjoyable Fast Paced Romance

Over a year ago I read "The Allure of Dean Harper" and was so happy with that book that I sought out more books by author R.S. Grey in hopes for another fun romance to get caught up in. I found The Allure of Julian Lefray and placed it on my Wish List. I am glad I did. It was entertaining and sometimes Laugh Out Loud funny. It was charming and sometimes a bit steamy but mostly it was just filled with chemistry between the two love interest. Towards the end of the book do I realize that this book is actually the lead in book to "The Allure of Dean Harper" and introduces us to the next romance couple. Although I found this book entertaining and having me want to see what came next I didn't find it as all entertaining and HOT as I did with "The Allure of Dean Harper". It was good but slightly paled in comparisons.

If you are thinking of purchasing this book I say go ahead and do it. You will enjoy the ride. And then go ahead and purchase "The Allure of Dean Harper" for it only gets better in that story.

Not for me

The writing is good. The humor is good. The plot and storyline were boring. Nothing about this book was bad, it just needed more. If you’re looking for just a straight up romance with no storyline other than the male and female leads fall in love, than this is the book for you.

cute

Super cute feel good story. definitely going to listen to the next one in the series following Lilly & Dean.

So Funny!

I literally could not stop laughing at some parts of this book. It was great! Narrators rocked all the voices and accents. So good!

Refreshingly witty & fun!

"Why did the chicken cross Julian Lefray's abs?.....To Get Laid!!"
Loved Julian & Josephine's story! A fun look into the fashion world and an undeniable attraction between two people who should be off limits! Great characters throughout the book.
Can't wait for Dean & Lily's story!
