About this listen

A new, sexy stand-alone from number one New York Times best seller Vi Keeland.

The first time I met Hudson Rothschild was at a wedding. I’d received an unexpected invitation to one of the swankiest venues in the city.

Hudson was a groomsman and quite possibly the most gorgeous man I’d ever laid eyes on. He asked me to dance, and our chemistry was off the charts.

I knew it wasn’t a good idea to get involved with him, considering the wedding I was at. But our connection was intense, and I was having a great time.

Though the fun came to a screeching halt when Hudson figured out I wasn’t who I’d said I was. You see, that unexpected invitation I received? Well, it hadn’t actually been addressed to me - it was sent to my ex-roommate who’d bounced a check for two months’ rent and moved out in the middle of the night. I figured she owed me an expensive night out, but I guess, technically, I was crashing the wedding.

Once caught, I couldn’t get out of there fast enough. As I bolted for the door, I might’ve plucked a few bottles of expensive champagne off the tables I passed, all while the gorgeous, angry groomsman was hot on my tail.

Outside, I jumped into a taxi. My heart ricocheted against my ribs as we drove down the block - but at least I’d escaped unscathed.

Or so I thought.

Until I realized I’d left my cell phone behind at the table.

Take one guess who found it?

This is the crazy story of how Hudson Rothschild and I met. But trust me, it’s only the tip of the iceberg.

Another captivating read from Vi Keeland

I listened to this book in audio, I absolutely love the narrators that narrate Vi's books, they really bring the characters to life and suit the character's personalities so well.

About the plot
Stella is a struggling businesswoman who made the decision to go on her own, launch her own business, and produce her own perfume company Signature scent after working for Estee Lauder.

She meets Hudson when after an invitation comes through her door for a wedding for an ex-roommate her gay best friend persuades her to go and pretend to be the ex-roommate and he also goes as her plus one.

Epic fail when she introduces herself as the other woman because Hudson the bride's sister knows said woman well, she was his sister's friend and his secretary some time ago.

There's a lot more to this story and the development is brilliant, I was eagerly wanting to know where it would all end up between Stella and Hudson, who was without a doubt attracted to each other when they first lay eyes on each other.

Hudson is a sexy father and businessman, he's grumpy, demanding, and has a huge soft heart beneath the hard exterior.
Stella lacks confidence but she is a likable character.

As the story develops Stella who runs out of finances needs Hudson's business support. He invests in new businesses and backs them. It's Hudson's sister whose wedding she crashed who takes on Stella's business plan wholeheartedly and loves Stella's ideas but first, they need the backing of Hudson who is a tough nut to crack.

There is so much more to both character's stories and I loved every minute of it. There's angst, surprises, hotness, and heartwarming moments.

I Can't wait to delve into more stories from Vi Keeland. I have yet to read or listen to one I do not like.

Beautiful love story, very funny in parts, sometimes sad but I think will become one of my all-time favourites. Narration was just right and very well done.

Unbelievably story. I'm just so sad I will never have a chance to meet those two gorgeous person in real.
A book that everyone who's seeking for a love should read.
Will never forget this story. Hope that one day a movie will be placed under this script.

Loved it from the first sentence to the last one.
