Summary

From USA Today best-selling author Parker S. Huntington comes an enemies-to-lovers, slow-burn romance full of revenge and a dash of fate.

"She could enjoy her pretty, perfect world a little longer. Soon enough, everything she owned would be mine."

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. Who cares if my family ruined his? Who cares if he looks at me with pure loathing? Who cares if every task he assigns me is designed to torture? I need the money. Simple as that. I’ll suffer his cruelty in silence, knowing there’s one thing he wants more than revenge. Me.

Please note: This is a full-length stand-alone novel in the Cruel Crown world.

I loved this book a bit different than the usual and I learned a lot of new words. Very good story and very well written. Excellent narration as always by Sebastian York and a new narrator to me Desiree Ketchum who also had it nailed.

Very enjoyable

I will never read another book by this author, they seem to have an obsession with trying to prove how intelligent they are. This book feels almost condescending, like oh look I know so many words you most likely don’t let me keep throwing them in your face until you want to run head first into a brick wall. The author was just trying too hard

This book is about 5 hours too long, there are chapters and chapters that should have been edited out. They were unnecessary and added nothing to the book. The main characters were frustrating. Emery just pissed me off with her stupid stubborn behaviour, but I didn’t hate her. What I did hate though was Nash acting like a complete di**head towards her without any real evidence that’s she deserved to be treated badly. I hate that his actions were basically forgiven, all because he started to feed her. Like are you serious?

I’m all for slow burners but this felt like it was moving at a snail pace, I had to listen to a lot of it at 1.25x speed just so I wouldn’t throw a fit.

If I never have to hear the word Sisyphus again it will be too soon. This is just an unremarkable book trying too hard.

Pretentious and long winded.

I knew this would be amazing but I didn’t think it would leave me a sleep deprived wreck. This was a fantastic listen from start to finish.

The narration just pushed it from being an amazing story to coming to life.

Holy hotness

Listener received this title free

I did like this book, but there were aspects of the story that spoilt my enjoyment slightly. Some of the internal conversation scenes with Emery were silly and not necessary to the story. The ending felt slightly anti climatic after all the build up too. Good performance by the narrators throughout.

I don't think I have the words to express how much I loved this beautiful story! And also, SebYo forever immortalised in such a cool, meta way - truly brilliant!

Brilliant!
