Story
I had a plan to escape the friend zone. Step one: sneak into Reed’s room. Step two: sleep with him. But when the lights turned on, it wasn’t familiar blue eyes I saw. These were dark, angry, and full of demons. And they belonged to Reed’s much-older brother. Four years later, Nash Prescott is no longer the help’s angry son. I’m no longer the town’s prized princess. At 22, I’m broke, in need of a job. At 32, he’s a billionaire, in need of revenge.

I wasn’t supposed to be on that roof on Valentine’s Day. Neither was Kellan Marchetti, the school’s designated freak. We met on the verge of ending our lives. Somehow, the tattered strings of our tragedies tangled and tightened into an unlikely bond. We decided not to take the plunge and agreed to check on each other every Valentine’s Day until school ended. Same time. One roof. Two restless souls. We kept our promise for three years.

Now, my ball-busting father is sentencing me to six months of celibacy, sobriety, and morbid boredom under the roof of Boston's nerdiest girl alive, Sailor Brennan. The virginal archer is supposed to babysit my ass while I learn to take my place in Royal Pipelines, my family's oil company. Little does she know, that's not the only pipe I'll be laying....

Story
Dante Marino’s the definition of beautiful destruction. Everything he touched, he destroyed...including me. We were friends. Then we weren't. He used me. Played me. Took every ounce of my affection and threw it away. He became my enemy, then risked everything to save me. Now, he wants me back, claiming he's changed - determined to make me his. Each vow, every possessive kiss, feels like he’s mine. But I can't forget that underneath his rock-hard body, seductive grin, and wicked promises, one thing will always remain true - he's my undoing.

Reasons why I should not be drawn to Troy Serrano. Number one: He’s obnoxious. Number two: We were enemies more than a decade ago. Number three: He’s my friend’s ex-boyfriend. I could go on and on, really. When my boss gives me an unwanted assignment, and tells me it involves spending time with the grandson of one of our residents, the grandson turns out to be Troy. Lucky me. Four hours a week of having to deal with his insufferable personality and unsolicited advice - the only consolation is getting to stare at his annoyingly gorgeous face, in between our many arguments.

very funny and unique
I've now read the book and listened to the audible narration and since I already liked the book A LOT- it was quite fun to listen and hear Lucy's inner rambling said aloud. the story has some typical romantic tropes but I felt they were introduced in a new way that made the story feel new and unique and seriously I laughed out loud quite often. The narrator was new to me and she has a unusual cadence and speech pattern that took a little while for me to get used to but eventually that went away and I was just happy to listen to the story. I think that Lucy and Asher have a great story and I recommend both the book and audiobook.

I love Lucy!
This book kept me hooked from the intrigue, twists and turns, romps, harshness, tenderness, betrayals and courage. The characters were well written and the whole thing brought to life by the fantastic characterisation of Lacy Laurels voice! I think this would make a great movie! (Well it did! In my head!)
I was hooked and I love Lucy and Asher Black!

Wouldn't mind meeting Asher myself after reading this rollercoaster story between Lucy and Asher. Plenty of action mixed up with boardroom battles and mafia connections. Well written storyline with excellent narrative. Can't wait to listen to the other stories in this series.

Good book but narration poor
Good story, but the narrator is poor in my opinion. Pauses in strange places, always sounds surprised and struggles saying simple words such as ‘cavalry’ - also random weird words said such as ‘stupecation’ which I assume is supposed to be ‘stupification’, with pauses in front of some words. Dual narration would also have made this a more vivid listen.

Asher Black will make you swoon
I enjoyed listening to Asher Black. I loved the narration, it was easy to follow and the performance was great. I’d recommend this book to anyone who likes mafia books, rich business men, funny independent women, or a combination of all the above. This is the first book I’ve read/listened to by this author and I’m looking forward to reading more.

Narration is horrible
I was looking forward to this book; however, the narration completely ruined it. The main character's narrator hurries through every sentence and has a slight lisp. I just can't listen to it. I think if she slowed down and read the story with emotion and not as though she is ready for her lunch hour it would be a compelling audible. I may just go and read the book and try to forget I ever heard try to give it a listen.

Hilarious and Hot
This audio was laugh out loud funny. The story of a young, very smart, attractive woman forced into a situation with an Alpha mobster due to her own actions. The internal ramblings of her mind quite often had me laughing out loud. I did find that if I was interrupted at all I would have to go back in the Audio because I wasn’t sure if she was speaking to herself or if she was in a two sided conversation. Asher Black was dark and brooding but he also was protective, intuitive, and sexy as sin. The narrator has a very distinct cadence to her voice which was distracting for me and did little to help the story. If you’re looking for a quick witted listen, this audio is for you.

Hard Listen
I absolutely loved this story. It was recommended by a friend who was READING the book. This narrator was so hard to listen to. The cadence and inflection of her voice was completely off. Several mispronounced words. If not for the great writing of this author and the very interesting story, I would have given up. Serious debate about going on to the next book, but Parker is an excellent writer. Maybe going "old school" and actually turn a written page. Sad, I usually love listening.

Amazing!
Parker S Huntington has written and amazing story and the narration by Lacy Lauren just made it that much better! This is not your typical mafia romance book. It has some tension and angst in the beginning but with a few times that you will giggle yourself silly. You can see the way this relationship grows from beginning to end with no parts skipped. I love the way it started, the way it continued and the way it ended. There is no part in this book that is not loved and you will not regret getting this audiobook to listen to. I myself can’t wait for the next!

I need more!
This book was awesome! It had me hooked from the beginning. I could not put it down. The story was so well written. I fell in love with the characters and became so invested. The chemistry between Lucy and Asher was crazy. I was yelling at them in my head so often. Lucy is perfect for Asher- they just need to get their S together. I can not wait for the next installment!
Narration and production is flawless. I have had the pleasure of listening to several of Lacy's narrations and have loved them all. She always gives a great performance!
Highly recommend!

A Hilarious and Unconventional Romance!
Asher Black is not my typical read/listen. I actually don't think that I have ever read a mafia book/romance. I'm so happy that I took the chance though to discover this new to me author!
This was a really entertaining audiobook and the heroine had me laughing throughout most of the book. Lucy's inner monologue and her back and forth banter with Asher was fantastic. Throw in the whole fake fiance trope and this was an awesome debut novel. Even though there are some heavier and more serious moments in the book, Lucy and Asher's interactions and chemistry kept it more lighthearted and playful. Readers/listeners may find a few parts of the story a little over the top, but for me it just made it more fun. This is my first time listening to the narrator, Lacy Laurel. I thought that she did a great job as Lucy and I felt her performance was perfect for the character.
I didn't find the book to be super mafia heavy and though the overall pacing was fine, I felt like the end was a little rushed. I would have loved to have Asher's POV, but overall, this was a really enjoyable book and I look forward to reading/listening to more by this author.

I had to make myself keep listening a couple times mostly just because of the narrator... I mean I've heard worse but not by much. i was really impressed with Huntington's "devious lies" but this barely hold a candle to that one.. but it may have been the narrator.. I'll get the next one with different narrators and see.

This story was a fun and quick listen for me. The overall story line was a mixture of fun, action packed, & romance. Lucy’s roommate is rather fun, and sometimes annoying. But she is the first real friend Lucy has ever had. Asher doesn’t really have anyone either and that really pulls them together. I will be honest to me the best part of the story was the last couple of hours of listening, that is when the main action is happening. The book does have a bit of humor as well! The narration was very nice and easy to listen to.
I must be honest on this part though the blurb was a bit misleading to me. I never felt Lucy was in danger form Asher. And I was expecting way more mob ties throughout the story but their is very little mob action in this story.

Loved listening to this!
Great listen. Loved the story and the characters, plenty of humor too. Really enjoyed Lucy’s mental ramblings. Excellent narrator who made it very entertaining to listen. I received a free review copy of this audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.
