Summary

A tyrant by day, a playboy by night. That's the reputation that precedes Richard VanRyan. He lives life the way he wants, no concern for the opinion of others. He cares for no one, is completely unrepentant, and has no desire to change his ways.

Katharine Elliott works under Richard as his PA. She despises him and his questionable ethics, but endures all the garbage he sends her way, because she needs the job. Her end goal is far more important than the daily abuse and demands she tolerates from her nasty tyrant of a boss. Until the day he asks her for something she never expected. A new role with a personal contract-fiancée instead of PA.

What happens when two people who loathe each other have to live together and act as though they are madly in love? Sparks. That's what happens.

Can the power of love really change a person?

Will they survive the contract?

What do you do when the one person you hate the most becomes the one person you can't live without?

An old fashioned love story

This is very well narrated with all the parts easily distinguishable. I wouldn't want to spoil it for others so I'll just say it's a love story.

It would have had full marks but the authors repeated use of the word 'smirk' really jarred. If you're looking for romance and can gloss over 'smirk' I'd recommend it.

Brilliant

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, the narrators played their part perfectly and made The story totally believable. The characters are great and the story is charming funny sexy and a little sad in places. I will certainly listen to this again.

worth listening

I picked up the book because of the good reviews and stars. However, although the story was good, I must say, the narration wasn't perfect, especially the female one. Still, worth listening

Very sweet and sentimental, typical Moreland

I love a character I love to hate. A nice story to listen to when you need a soppy romantic gentle tale.
