Summary

After two years of taking care of her heartbroken father, Evie needs a new start. Leaving the States and following her sister to Australia to work as the personal assistant of rugby star Xavier "The Beast" Stevens seems like the right kind of distraction.  

Tall, muscled, and devilishly handsome, Xavier is the love 'em and leave 'em kind of guy. He never forgets a girl's name because he never bothers to remember it in the first place. Evie soon realizes that being Xavier's assistant is a 24/7 job; the man seems unwilling to even set an alarm for himself.  

As she watches him move from one woman to the next, Evie is glad that her heart is safe from his attention. After all, she's a far cry from the size zero models he usually takes to his bed.  

But soon being around Xavier doesn't feel like a job and seeing him walk around his apartment half naked all the time isn't helping either. Evie knows that giving in to her attraction will lead to heartbreak, but when Xavier starts treating her as more than just his assistant, resisting his charms seems like an impossible task.

Female narrator excellent. However I couldn't focus on the story (which I think was actually well written) due to the male narrator - especially when he was speaking female voices. Spoilt it for me.

It’s a lovely story, and I liked the lady who narrated this book. However, the guy with the accent was a little distracting.

Feel good !

The story was totally fine but felt like it ended a bit abruptly. The male narrator was not very good though. There was one section (one of the hotter ones) where he actually felt like he was portraying the male leads voice descriptions of “dark” and “rumbling” but otherwise it felt stressed and bratty. His female voice depictions were plain horrible. Think he might have the ability but fell short in this story.

Ok story partly grating narration

This book had a decent story and the female narrator was fine. However… wow, the male narrator! He pretty much ruined this for me but I was too far into the book before he joined in and even further before he unleashed the screech that was him doing a female voice. Absolutely shocking. Think the Australian breakdancer of audiobooks. I’m not sure how he got the job!

The male narrator’s female voice was laughable
