About this listen
It was supposed to be a one-night stand. Lust was the only thing they had in common.
Roxy Quinn - tattooed goddess, daughter of punk rockers, and general beautiful badass - thought she’d never see Edward Cavendish III again. The wealthy British hotelier wandered into her dingy New York City tattoo parlor, a little drunk and a lot brokenhearted. And very, very charming.
After a night of panty-disintegrating passion, Roxy sends him on his way. She has zero time to pursue the suit-wearing sex god. Not when her business is failing. Not when her employees are counting on her.
After a lifetime trapped in his parents’ legacy, Edward’s rendezvous with the scowling vixen is a glimpse of glorious freedom. But it’s not freedom he needs now. What he needs is to find the right wife to fulfill the terms of his trust fund before he loses it all. Roxy, with her ripped stockings and delectable secret piercings, is definitely not that kind of wife.
But their paths cross again when Edward and Roxy are inconveniently paired up in a business school mentoring program. It has to be a strictly professional relationship. No kissing. No sex. Definitely no dark alley trysts after dancing together all night. Oops.
If forbidden relationships, opposites that attract like crazy lust magnets, and all the rescue pets in the world are your jam, you’re going to love Edward and Roxy!

Story
Type A attorney Fiona Quinn has one goal left to accomplish before turning 30: A big, fairy tale wedding. All she needs is a groom. So what if she’s never been in love — or even lust — before? She’s confident she can solve the problem the way she always does, with spreadsheets and an action plan. When a family emergency brings bad boy Max Devlin swaggering back into town — with his cocky grin, tattoos, and wanderlust — Fiona has to remind herself that he’s as unsuitable as it gets.

Story
As the reigning queen of the dirt bike racing circuit, my only goal is to win this next championship race. Except I’ve got a bit of a…reputation problem. While my fans love my tattooed bad-girl image, my fancy new sponsor hates it. After a recent media fiasco, I’m on the brink of losing everything. So I asked Rowan O’Callaghan to fake date me to rehab my image. We’ve known each other since I was just his favorite bartender, and he was the charming baseball god who swaggered into my bar to seduce every woman in sight. Not me, though. I always knew better. Until now.

I knew fixing up my life with a fresh start on the hobby ranch I inherited in Hell’s Bells, Wyoming, would come with challenges. Things like snow. Wildlife. Local gossip about why my daughter and I are here. But the biggest challenge? My surly new tenant. He’s like a bear. Fascinating from a distance, but don’t get too close, or he’ll bite. His personality should be a good thing. I have no need of a new man in my life. But he’s not only my tenant; he’s also my daughter’s math teacher and soccer coach.

Great opposites attract romcom
I enjoyed this steamy, funny and sweet story between two characters from totally different worlds. Their insta love connection was awesome and I loved the animal lover angle as well.
Edward has long been my favorite hero by Kathryn Nolan and hearing his English accent come to life in this audio book was absolute perfection!

Perfection!
Love love love this story! Spicy with a little kink. I loved how FMC and MMC share the power dynamic and it’s both hot and playful. The FMC has an active sex life (so tired of the virgin or almost virgin who have a sexual awakening trope) and many past partners. And MMC doesn’t freak out or get possessive. There is no “you are mine” possessiveness. He treats her with respect and as an equal.
Narration is good. And his English accent is so sexy.

Great narration
I loved the female narrator - she did Roxy, Edward, Roxy’s parents, and Fiona perfectly. The male narrator was good, but he didn’t impart the same cadence for the Roxy parts - I never felt like it was quite right when he said lines in her voice. I would have loved to see this as a duet narration!
The book itself is fantastic - I read it long before the audio came out, and adored every word. Roxy & Edward’s push/pull relationship was sublime.

The storyline was unique and different; the characters were likable and interesting. I laughed through out this book. I love Will’s character narrations; his accent is a turn on. Anastasia also did a marvelous job.
