Summary

A dazzling Audible Original written by Natalie Cooper, performed by Jenna Coleman (Victoria, The Cry)

Iris Nightingale is more than okay. She has her life planned out to a perfect schedule. Work, run, sleep, repeat. She spends her quiet Friday nights sitting alone on a bench in the park, trying to push back the memories that no amount of running can help her escape.

But one evening, there’s someone else on her bench - Hunter. Tall, wry and infuriating: everything about him gets under Iris’s skin. Little does she know that he's about to upset more than just her routines...

Hired as a consultant at the firm where Iris works as engineering manager, Hunter has a knack for knowing just what to say to irritate her, and Iris can’t help rising to the spark in his eyes each time.

Sent away on a work trip together, Iris is taken out of her comfort zone. As their connection deepens, will Iris finally be able to face the memories that have been haunting her for years? Can her blossoming relationship with Hunter survive some brutal truths?

Only one thing is certain: The spark between them is beyond Iris’s expertise, and there's no running away from it.

Moving and heartwarming

I loved it! A gorgeous book, really well performed. The romance was built up perfectly and I was so invested in Iris and Hunter. A book with a lot of depth and a lot of heart.

Gorgeous

I absolutely loved this - it's not your typical romance book and is all the better for that. I love how the depth to the story gradually reveals itself. I don't think I'll ever forget this book. I will be seeking out more books from this author.

Beautifully written and presented

I adored this book! The chemistry and banter between Iris and Hunter was just perfect (as was the spice!) I really cared about the characters and felt that I was on a journey with them. The narration was brilliantly done and I can’t wait to read more from this author!

Didn’t see it coming at all!

Loved this audiobook. Could not stop listening to it. So many different emotions. I normally spend a book trying to guess what the ‘thing’ is but this time I didn’t and it really knocked me sideways.

Great chemistry between characters

I loved this book. I’m not always a romance fan but this one had such great substance to it and was so well written. It made you really care about the characters and their outcome. I raced through the book and was definitely shocked by the unexpected twist. I look forward to more books from this author.

Enjoyable listen

Not sure whether it was me or the story but had to keep rewinding and repeating as my mind drifted away from the story in parts - other sections I was gripped by so still undecided.
