This story follows Kennedy, who starts a new job as a paralegal. During her interview, she realises that the man she once thought she’d spend her life with—ten years ago—is now her potential new boss. However, he acts as if he doesn’t recognise her. Can they work together professionally, or will unresolved feelings and tension push them to their breaking point?
Lets start with the audiobook. It was fantastic in duet narration. If you’re considering picking this up, I highly recommend giving it a chance in that format. While I enjoyed the book, it didn’t quite stand out for me. I loved how it began and where it was heading, but I didn’t expect them to give in to temptation so quickly. I personally would have preferred more tension and a slow burn. Given their history, I was hoping for more heated confrontations—yelling, arguing—before they gave in.
Additionally, I felt Kennedy’s father got off the hook too easily, considering the revelations in the storyline. The fact that the father sought out the MMC to clear the air, only for everything to be brushed aside, was frustrating to read. That said, the spice was great, and I really enjoy Jolie’s writing. While this one was a good, easy listen, I look forward to reading more of her work.
