When she's asked to take a job working with Blake, it's a great step in her career, but the more time she spends around the attractive, determined billionaire, the harder it is to remember why she wants to stay single.

Great story

This was a sweet story about a very motivated intelligent energetic vibrant woman who met a billionaire at her friend’s bbq. She was asked to assist with a mutual project and through some rough times they came together. It was an easy book to listen to. Well narrated and well written.

Read this book first, and the Audible presentation was better

When I read this book, it felt rushed at the end. The audible presentation was better. I enjoyed both. Jill and Blake’s mistakes at the end still seemed out of character at the end but the Audible presentation flowed well with a good performance.

No so naughty but super cute

This book and the book that comes before it are both really cute stories. Really kept my interest had plenty of swoon worthy moments. It’s just if you’re more of an NC-17 kind of a reader be prepared for PG.
Having naughty moments isn’t a requirement for me with these types of stories I just know that sometimes the author goes a little more into details that give “wet” moments if you know what I’m saying

Nice character and cute story

It is a nice story with super incredible characters that have great background and personalities. The plot is mild and surrealistic, because I believe the characters could have a more interesting development. Still, it’s a cute romantic story worth reading!

MY TAKE
This is my second Pennington billionaire romance, and I loved it. It was the first audiobook I listened to and Nancy Peterson did a fabulous job.

I liked Blake right away and really enjoyed how capable and determined Jill was. Their interchanges were interesting and the sparks really flew, both from attraction and misunderstanding as they got to know each other. The storyline developed well.

I won't spoil it but Jill withheld (unnecessarily) something that led to a huge rift between them. It was almost a "too stupid to live" moment for me. And then there was a betrayal that happened that was forgiven a little too readily for me to be completely satisfied since it could have created a huge trust issue. But and the resolution was a happy one, and I liked the characters enough to make up for it.
