Publisher's Summary

What happens when the world's fiercest fashion editor learns she's pregnant—and her distracting assistant is the only one she can turn to? This wildly popular age-gap lesbian romance mixes humor and chaos with self-discovery.

Jules Moretti is newly single, an aspiring writer, and the hyper-competent assistant to the most powerful woman in fashion. It's a tough job, but her ice queen boss won't settle for less than perfection.

Vivian Carlisle helms the internationally revered fashion publication Du Jour. She might be smack in the middle of a messy divorce, but you have to make sacrifices to be the best. That's what she tells herself, anyway.

When the unthinkable happens, Vivian's regimented world is turned upside-down. Her life is about power, success, and dominance—not a baby!

This single, shocking moment throws boss and assistant together into an intimacy neither could have imagined. With their lives in chaos, every day brings a new challenge bigger than the last. But everything will work out . . . just so long as they don't do anything totally ridiculous.

Like fall in love.

Contains mature themes.

Amazing build up

I’m listening to both of the books in this series for the third time in 6 months. It still makes me smile and laugh in parts. Vivian is quite possibly my favourite ice queen. If you’re not listening to or reading this book right now….I don’t understand what you’re doing with your life. You need to reevaluate some life choices.

So glad there's a sequel

I'm probably biased, because ice queens always hook me right away, but WHAT an ice queen. So, so good, and the development between the two women is top notch. Abby Craden also does an amazing job narrating, as always! Now to start the second book.

This is a good one!

At first I wasn’t sure I was too into this book, but man did it ever grow on me! Really loved this story, and am excited to start the second part!

My oh my....

I'd read these two books when they were first released and couldn't wait for narrator Abby Craden's take on them. Craden is one whose talents can raise the experience of any book - and satisfy folks who were rabid fans of the fan fic and had the highest expectations.

I enjoyed this even more than the written book. There were times that I actually had to stop the audiobook and exclaim out loud, it was so hot! Whew! My oh my.

You'll definitely want to pick this up as well as the even better Above All Things. Absolutely delicious entertainment.

Lonnnng boring story with a little heat at the end

Not necessarily worth the wait. The characters do not encourage me to listen to the second volume. I like to support lesbian fiction but I feel this is a money grab.

Better than expected

I read some of the reviews and it’s clear these folks didn’t realize there are two parts to the story. It continues in another book so the “abrupt” ending makes sense when you listen to book 2.

The book is a slow burn, had the right amount of tension and some funny dialogue. Good dialogue an and a believable narrator are a huge part of what I look for in a book. The books that are boring are the ones that a filled with erotica and not much else. The contrast between the two main characters made it fun because of their interesting dynamic.

Performance so good I needed a cigarette

This was a slow burn but oh my goodness was the buildup worth it. I've ran the gamut on spicy books at this point, harem, romance, monster girls, monster guys, reverse harem, a whole cornucopia of smutty goodness. Never in all of those much more explicit books have I had to pause, take a deep breath, and let out an audible "Oh my goodness" at the intensity of a performance and writing.

This is top shelf, the buildup is long but extremely worth it. Don't get put off by how much of a jerk Viviane is and just rest easy knowing the ice queen will thaw... eventually.

Better than I ever expected

This author and the narration by Abby Craden were made for each other. At first, I thought this was going to be another book with Devil Wears Prada theme, however, I was mistaken. It's not just that buts a story of the coming together of two souls each having their own issues and problems. Vivian the ice queen being thawed by the younger and efficient Jules. I am looking forward to listening to the second book.

Exquisite

The writing and narration are sublime. I’ve been waiting for this audiobook and I am sad it is over! The story of Vivian and Jules is easy to get lost in. Ice queen, age gap, steamy. Ready for the next in the series to be out in a few days!
