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.

Loved the book, but loved the audio more!

I bought the book when it was first released as it was by one of my go-to authors (I've been a big fan of Melanie's for years) and wasn't disappointed.

So when I found out the audio version had been released I just HAD to get it and I loved it more than the book, John Lane & Tatiana Sokolov did a great job of bringing the book to life and I was emotionally invested (again) from the very start.

This is definitely an audiobook that I will listen to many more times.

enjoyable sweet story

This story was unexpectedly sweet and charming.
I loved how Richard slowly began to redeem himself after he realised how bad he'd been treating Katie at work.
Their relationship turned out to be quite charming.

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.
