Sweet and Sassy

By: Mariah Kingsley

Narrated by: Lu Banks

When Layla walked into Giovanni’s shop two years ago, all he could think about was having her tied to a St. Andrews cross. After a couple of conversations, he learned that she was all he ever wanted, but his life wasn’t ready for her yet.

One year ago, he was ready to claim her as his own, but then she walked in with the ugliest ring in history, declaring her off the market. Tonight, she walked in with no ring and no reason for him to stop. He can finally show her that he is more than a master in chocolate - he is a master in the bedroom, as well.

Sweet and Sassy - Layla and Gio

Layla's father wanted her to marry Jimmy but, unfortunately, she thought Jimmy was boring. She tells her father that sex with him is 22 boring minutes. Her father admitted his sex life is better than hers. What an uncomfortable conversation to have with your father! Giovanni owned a chocolate store and Layla would stop in for chocolate. He has lusted after her for quite a while. After she calls off her engagement to Jimmy, Gio asks her on a date. They go out and end up back at her house where they really get to know each other. Gio realizes he wants to spend his life with her, something he never wanted with another woman but Gio had a confession to make. That scene on Gio's plane was really hot. The ending of this short book was very nice and I am sorry the book is not longer. Lu Banks did a great job with the narration. I received this free copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Good read (listen)

This is a new author to me. I had not read nor heard any of her work prior to this. However, It was an easy listen. Steady plot line. Excellent imagery. The narrator's voice is lovely and smooth. Very relaxing to listen to. She moves easily between the various characters so that deeper into the book you KNOW who is speaking without any other clues. She is awesome! Overall a great little book.. A good listen for your lunch break or commute to/from work.

The sweetest reprieve!!

The story may lack depth but the narrator is this books redemption, remember Lu Banks!!

I wanted more!

This was a fun little listen. The voice of Lu Banks was really enjoyable. The story was too short but cute!

Quick Listen!

This is a short hot Insta love story between a romance writer who just broke off her engagement and the owner and chocolate maker of Sweet and Sassy who has been infatuated with her for a while. This was a steamy hot quick listen with a HEA.
