Summary

Laurie Holcombe is out of a job, out of luck, and out of time. When a prestigious law firm hires her as an assistant to one of its senior partners, it feels like she might finally get back on her feet. All she has to do is put up with the whims of her infuriatingly icy boss, Diana. How hard could that be?

Diana Parker is Atlanta's top lawyer and isn't afraid to let everyone know it. She's driven, ruthless, demanding, and stuck in a failing marriage. Too bad she can't run her personal life as well as she runs her ordered office.

When a young assistant shows up with bright blue eyes, a cute Southern accent, and a streak of pink hair, Diana's sure she's all wrong for the job. And yet something seems to be pulling her and Laurie Holcombe together, drawing them into a secret, thrilling dance that's far too dangerous for a boss and employee.

Can they make rules for this powerful attraction, a way to keep each other at arm's length? But how do you resist the irresistible?

Contains mature themes.

Absolutely Fantastic!!

I absolutely loved this audiobook. The story was engaging, the characters felt well rounded and complex, and the descriptive imagery was sublime. There were moments when I actually blushed because I felt like I was right there in the room with Diana and Laurie. I didn't want the book to end.

My only tiny issue was I wish Laurie & Diana had connected on a deeper level. The sex scenes are some of the best I've ever heard, they were incredibly erotic, but I just wanted the leading ladies to have a few moments when they talked more and f*cked less, at least for a couple chapters.

The narrator was exceptional and highlighted the different characters with distinct voices. She enhanced the story perfectly. Also, I love Southern USA accents and her accent for Laurie was divine. It did things to me.

This is the first Roslyn Sinclair book I've ever encountered, but it will most definitely won't be my last.
Regardless of my mini gripe, I highly recommend this book and will most definitely listen to it again.

Entertaining for sure! 🔥😍

Enjoyed this storyline, the spice level was through the roof! 🔞🥵

Loved the care and support the characters showed around coming out and sexuality.

The strong southern accent pulled me out of the story initially, but gradually grew on me as the character developed.

A great listen! 👍🏿👍🏿

Underrated gem

One of the best les-fic books out there. Hot, sweet, sexy and touching. Classic ice queen trope done very very well. Don’t see this book on many of the top lesbian fiction lists knocking about but imo it’s up there. Narration excellent.

A study in desire

I genuinely didn’t want this book to end. I enjoyed it from the first to last word. It’s not for the prudish or faint-hearted, but if you like strong characters, age gap romance, ice queens and a witty narrative you will love The X Ingredient! Oh and there’s quite a bit of hot sex!

The story is told from the point of view of both main characters, Laurie and Diana and is narrated brilliantly by Anastasia Watley. I will definitely be checking out her other work and that of Roslyn Sinclair.
