Resumen del Editor

Working for my ex-boyfriend? Sure. But falling for him again? That's a deal breaker.

Dancing around my office in my bra isn't exactly the way I'd have chosen to run into my ex for the first time in 12 years, but what can I say? Wes Lake has always had a knack for showing up at the most inopportune times.

Unfortunately, he also has a knack for leaving. That's why I've made every effort to put him out of my head - and my heart.

But this time, he needs my help. Wes Lake, head of Manhattan's preeminent real estate development firm, needs my tiny little marketing start-up to take on a special project at his company. The money's too good to turn down, so even though I'm leery of working for my ex, I accept.

There's just one problem: I can't stop kissing him.

I know better. I swear I do. But that doesn't stop my lips from being magnetically drawn to his every time we're in the same room. Can you blame me? He's gorgeous, wealthy, powerful - and he still remembers how to push all the right buttons.

So to keep things professional, Wes and I strike another kind of deal.

• No kissing.
• No talking about the past.
• No seeing each other outside of work.
• Did I mention no kissing?

Shouldn't be a problem, right? Except I might have underestimated Wes. Because when it comes to business - or pleasure - he'll do anything to seal the deal.

Even if it means breaking my heart in the process.

Contains mature themes.

I Love Rock Engle’s Voice!!!

I really enjoyed the storyline and the male lead being more wholesome with the problems they run into not being about sex and other women. But mostly I love Rock Engle’s narrations and search him out. Give the guy some love! He has a little quirkiness but I find his voice can be sexy, tough, sensitive so many different things. However I do understand when a narrator does not do it for me and I avoid or wait a long time before listening to them again.

Voice of Male Character

The reader sound waaaay too old for the male character. Story is fine but the male voice doesn’t make sense. Need a younger sounding voice to engage reader more.

a fresh take on a second chance

I thought this was a refreshing spin on a second chance romance. and the spice was immaculate!!!

the style of writing

I enjoyed the background stories and how they were intertwined. I especially liked Wes's life story. The way bits and pieces of his life were injected into the book made it seem almost like a mystery to solve.

Wes and Rory

An emotionally endearing, heartbreaking but heartwarming at the same time and a beautifully romantic journey to go on with Wes and Rory. I adored this story.

Cry

This book was written well. Made me cry and and route for her not to do it. It was a little fun. It has the family vibe

Wes & Rory = too steamy to contain

Wes and Rory are high school sweethearts that fell pray to the number one problem in relationships - lack of communication. She thinks he ran; he thinks she was better off without him. fast forward 12 years, and Wes is a huge success in real estate and needs Rory's help. She is reluctant, but can't resist their chemistry or the deal he offers her tiny start up. Problem is that he has a big secret that could tear them apart.

This book is steamy, sweet. and tender. There is a lot of miss communication and assumptions made by both. Their adventures ring true and mostly pass a reality check. The narrators are passionate and act out the book in a way that brings it to life.

Great story, even better performance

Liked the story and the characters. Loved the performance, especially the male performer (pauses, slowing down in right places made it extremely enjoyable).

Great Story, not the male reader

Loved the storyline and twists. Good characters and plot. However the male voice did not fit the Character Wes Lake. The tone and “age of the voice” felt 20 years older. Too much swag for how his character was written. I listened to it on high speed which helped tone it down. Great performance for Rory!

Deal Breaker.

The characters were well formed and intriguing. I loved the way the story flowed and kept me entertained from start to finish.
