Summary

I never should have agreed to this fake relationship....

Arpad growlypants Beauchamp a.k.a. Grumpzilla

The first time he met me, he told me that he hated my company.

I retaliated by spitting my Chai Tea Latte all over his tailormade slacks. 

He granted the security agency I run his business, anyway, huh?

Clearly, it's because he wants to control me.  

To make my life miserable.  

To become a thorn in my side, glowering down at me from his superior height.  

So when I end up stowing away on his boat, by a quirk of fate, I demand he turn back.

He refuses. *Ha, what a surprise!*  

(nstead, he proposes that we spend the time together, uh, exploring our shared chemistry. 

I agree, provided he fathers a child with me (true story).

"Now watch him run for the hills" — is what I think.  

Except, he says yes.... No freakin' way!

On one condition.  

I pose as his fake wife on his next trip home to meet his parents.  

I shouldn't fall in with his plan but it's too good an opportunity.  

Besides, have you met this man?  

He's hotter than Hades, meaner than Vicious, more assured than the King of Spades ever was.  

He also does that thing with his hands... never mind!  

I couldn't have found a better candidate for the father of my child.

So here we are stuck on his boat, and the chemistry between us is off the charts.  

Then we hit a storm and everything changes....

Note: This is an Enemies to Lovers, Fake Marriage Billionaire Romance featuring a hot, possessive billionaire and the curvy headstrong woman who dares to go toe to toe with him!

A stormy enemies to lovers

Katrina and Arpad's relationship has always been tempestuous. But after falling asleep on his boat and wakening up at sea during a storm, it has changed. It is officially stormy. This book has all you would expect from L Steel the characters are well written. Arpad deeply troubled after what happened during their kidnapping. Katrina has to be strong if she wants to a fulfilling relationship with Arpad, and he needs to learn to let go a little. This si a great story and I look forward to Edwards book. The dual narration is excellent

A fantastic story

Book 5 in the series. It can be listened to as a stand-alone. The author wrote a strong, well detailed story , with a couple you can relate to . The characters are engaging. This story has light bdsm
Hero is Arpad. Heroine is Katrina . They are stuck on a yacht with no reason.

Shane East and Ava Lucas performance is great. They did the characters and tone Great

Wow!!!

Just... wow!!! I loved all the books in the series so far, but this... it blew my mind! Arpad and Karina are one explosive pair, with lots of emotional baggage they have to unload in order to finally find their way to each other.

Since I'm trying to be spoiler free, all I can say about this newest installment in the series is that it's a MUST READ! The characters are amazingly well-developed and the storyline has such unexpected twists, that it'll have you at the edge of your seat. Just a warning: don't start reading unless you have plenty of time ahead. You won't be able to put it down!

The same goes for the audiobook. Shane East and Ava Lucas are simply AMAZING!!! They're the perfect pair to bring the story to life!!!

Good narration, barely acceptable story

I don’t know what to think of this book. I know what to think of its main male character though–Arpad was an asshole. An unredeeming asshole.

I didn’t mind his kinks–to each their own–nor his need to keep control. His past was explained a lot, with many details, and you kind of get where he comes from. But when his kinks challenged Karina’s consent, and it happened a lot, I felt uncomfortable. It was rape-y.

Even more uncomfortable, Karina accepted how he challenged her boundaries because she was attracted to him. What? No! They didn’t even talk about love, it was just lust. They only had bad words for each other, especially Karina for Arpad. So she obviously thought he was a bad man, but since he was pretty, she let him do anything he wanted to her? Nope, I didn’t buy it. Side note: it wasn’t a healthy representation of BDSM relationships, because of the consent problem, and because there was no aftercare. Literally, Arpad doesn’t care much about Karina after the deed is done.

Nor did I buy the romance. Sure, Arpad’s trauma can explain why he’s so guarded, but not being able to express his feelings, when he keeps thinking he has feelings, it became annoying quite fast.

As for the whole story, it was mostly erotica. The plot was paper thin–there’s a hidden connection between Karina and Arpad, but it isn’t explained before the end of the second act. The rest was the alternation between sexy scenes full of dubious consent, and scenes where the characters were mad at each other. I saw no love here, thus I couldn’t relate to the characters after a while. I mostly wanted to slap their face.

On the plus side, the narration was good. Both narrators are exceptional professional and gave their whole to this book. But the writing wasn’t up to par, and the many OMGs didn’t sound good in audio. Good narration, barely acceptable story.
