Night and Day

Langston Hotels, Book 1

By: Anna Hackett

Narrated by: Erin Mallon, Aiden Snow

Attending the charity masquerade ball was my chance to let loose for one night. And as soon as I see him, I let the handsome stranger show me the hottest night of my life.

Except then I learn he isn’t a stranger.

He’s my new boss.

Tessa

I’m Windward born and bred. I love my family, my town, and my dream job managing my hotel. But now we’ve been bought by Langston Hotels. Cue stress and panic.

I’ll do anything to make sure they don’t ruin the charm and turn my hotel into a slick, modern, soulless shell.

What I wasn’t counting on was jet-setting hotelier Ambrose Langston. Handsome, bossy, with a wide workaholic streak.

It doesn’t take me long to realize he’s also the man I let do very wicked things to me.

Ro

Transforming the Windward Resort is next on my plan. I’m on a mission to make Langston Hotels thrive and rub my father’s face in it.

What I never expected was the locals of Windward being less than happy with my acquisition. And I definitely wasn’t expecting Tessa Ashford.

I’ve always been professional with my employees, unlike my philandering father, but smart, beautiful Tessa—the mysterious woman who rocked my world—makes it a challenge.

Working side by side, all I can think about is her. I never stay. I work, then leave. But she has me questioning everything.

Then the strange “accidents” start happening. Someone doesn’t want me in Windward.

Now, I need to keep Tessa safe from whoever wants me gone.

Of my huge library of Anna Hackett audiobooks, this is my new favorite!

The story was fast moving, had wonderful, diverse characters and favorite narrators who brought the story to life! Aiden Snow was “OUT OF THIS WORLD” as Ro! ErinMallon great as always! I’ve listened to it 3 times already!

The excellent voices endearing, engaging story

This lighthearted book, gently touches on the loss of parents at a young age and how it effects adult life. But is a very lighthearted and proves you never know when you meet the love of your life

I loved it!

This is the first book in the Langston Hotels series. Tessa and Ambrose/Ro’s story is sweet, fun, and engaging. Ro is handsome, bossy, and incredibly supportive. Tessa is beautiful, smart, and determined. It’s an opposites attract romance, and they’re just perfect together. Their story is filled with family drama, mystery, action, and of course, romance. Erin Mallon and Aiden Snow did an excellent job bringing the story and characters to life. I enjoyed it and look forward to listening to Before and After, the next in the series. I really like Anna Hackett’s writing — she never disappoints.

A story that utterly captivates

Anna does it yet again- writes a story that utterly captivates and I absolutely despised having to press pause on this audiobook for real life! Ro and Tessa meet under the cover of masquerade masks with chemistry that sizzles. I was giddy with anticipation for when they realized who was behind the masks. Que the wide eyed shock and complete rocking of their worlds. Tessa wants him to be her enemy, but the hearts involved want other things. And when danger keeps striking, the protector in Ro comes out to add to the sweet side he's been showing Tessa, and he becomes even more swoony. I had my theories on the culprit, even narrowed my eyes when the character was introduced, but more Ro and Tessa ensued and distracted me until he was officially revealed as the danger spiked. I loved this story and am contemplating a re-listen soon. Narrators were great.

Perfect summer read

I can always count on Anna Hackett’s books to make me laugh, chuckle, gaffaw; I root for the heroine and, though suspenseful; I always know there will be a positive outcome
With Hackett’s heroine and hero’s always being flawed, she gives me hope for my own life
