Publisher's Summary

From NYT and USA Today bestselling author A.L. Jackson comes a single-dad, enemies-to-lovers stand-alone romance about a jaded club owner and his son’s teacher....

Eden Murphy came into my club looking to make some extra cash.

A girl like her didn't belong in a place like this.

She'd get ripped to shreds.

Most likely by me.

There's nothing but sweetness dripping from her sexy little body, and I'm the monster who's salivating to get a taste.

Trent Lawson is the last man I should want.

Dark.

Dangerous.

So wickedly gorgeous he makes my knees weak.

He's also an arrogant jerk who happens to be my new boss.

When I discover his adorable son is also in my kindergarten class, I know I have to keep my distance.

But neither of us can ignore the attraction that flames.

One glance, and our hearts race.

One touch, and we’re aching for what we can’t have.

One night, and we’re falling fast.

Dragging her into my sordid world is wrong.

It doesn’t matter.

Eden Murphy is mine.

Really good

This book is great and filled with angst. My only complaint is the number of times the author uses the phrase "dip my fingers". It was driving me nuts, like over a dozen times in the MMC's internal dialogue.

Did not finish - so many unnecessary meaningless words

I could not get into the audiobook. So many pointless meaningless sentences. They literally mean nothing. Any kind of feelings, steaminess or plot in this book was lost because of the writing, everything moves soooo slow. I even sped up the book. Narrators are great, but writing was awful. I have liked other book by this author, so don’t understand with this book was different.

Overall Good Story

I loved the story as it had plot twists I didn't see coming, but the book itself had too many words. So many descripting words, metaphors and similes. All the extra unnecessary words made it very difficult to keep focused on the actual story of the characters. It felt like overkill.

Too many words

I do like the stores AL Jackson tells, I love the characters, but I find it impossible to listed to, (it has nothing to do with the Narrators they were great). AL Jackson will use four sentence to describe something when one will do, it just feels like a word salad. If the writing was tighter I have no doubt I would Love everything she writes.

opposites attract

WOW! This was my first book by A L Jackson and her words are like poetry. The way she was able to paint an image of Trent and Eden's feelings and struggles was beautiful.

Connor and Desiree did a fantastic job of narrating.

I can't wait to listen to Jud and Logan's stories.
