About this listen

Penny is tired of being seen as the gamer, the crazy cat lady, the mom-jeans-wearing, YouTube-bingeing, quirky IT girl. She’s barreling toward 29 and ready to make some changes…in her appearance and her nonexistent love life. But she’s smart enough to know she needs help—and who she needs it from. Her billionaire playboy boss, Gage Russo.

Bachelor Gage’s life is typically full of excitement, on the work front and in the bedroom. He’s never lacking for female company and he rarely sleeps alone. Regardless, lately, he can’t shake feeling bored. That is, until Penny challenges him to a friendly wager…one he promptly loses. Her prize? Lessons in seduction—from him.

Lines get blurred as Gage pushes harder…moves faster…teaching Penny things she’s only ever fantasized about. But the playboy with all the smooth moves makes one big mistake when he fails to tell his sexy student that the lessons are no longer fake, and what he wants from her is very, very real.

Wonderful dual narration from Marina Barrett and Oliver Highpoint. Soo Perfect.
I fell in love with both Penny and Gage, after becoming friends over games, Penny gets over her initial shyness, the banter between them was fun and sexy. After losing a game and a bet to Penny. Gage most teacher how to change her looks and become a siren in and out of the bed. There was some electrifying chemistry between them. Penny might have been a virgin, but she most definitely wasn’t a shrinking violet when it came to sex. There are some touching moments that will tug at your heartstrings. Brilliant book

Hard and Fast by Mari Carr is a billionaire romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Marina Barrett and Oliver Highpoint. This is the second book in the Italian Stallions series.

I really enjoyed the relationship that bloomed between Penny and Gage. I liked that we got both of their points of views throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.

I can't wait for the next book in the series Rough and Ready to be released on audio so I can get Gio, Rafe and Keeley's story.

Marina and Oliver did a great job on the narration. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you like contemporary romances, billionaire romances, boss romances, or friends-to-lovers romance.
