About this listen
When fanfic writer Aaron Page landed a temp job with the creator of hit TV show, Leeches, it was only meant to last a week. Three years later, Aaron’s still there....
It could be because he loves the creative challenge. It could be because he’s a huge Leeches fanboy. It’s definitely not because of Lewis Hunter, his extremely demanding, staggeringly rude...and breathtakingly gorgeous boss.
Is it?
Lewis Hunter grew up the hard way and fought for everything he’s got. His priority is the show, and personal relationships come a distant second. Besides, who needs romance when you have a steady stream of hot men hopping in and out of your bed?
His only meaningful relationship is with Aaron, his chief confidante and indispensable assistant. And no matter how appealing he finds Aaron’s cute boy-next-door charms, Lewis would never risk their professional partnership just to scratch an itch.
But when Lewis finds himself trapped at a hilariously awful corporate retreat, Aaron is his only friend and ally. As the professional lines between them begin to blur, their simmering attraction starts to sizzle
And they’re both about to get burned.

I enjoyed the story very much.
Lewis and Aron have a relationship with each other without knowing it. Aaron is Lewis PA, but the connection goes much deeper. I had a bit of a hard time liking Lewis in places, but towards the end he rethought his attitude and also convinced himself that fanfiction can be a good thing.
Aaron is very sweet and I was glad when he drew the right consequences after one incident. The ending came a bit quickly, but the motives were quite understandable.
I was well entertained by the audiobook.
Simon Goldwell did a brilliant job. He brought the story to life, bringing the characters to life with his voice and expression. I will be on the lookout for more audiobooks with him.
brilliant narration

I’ve read nearly every romance that Sally Malcolm has published and loved all of them. I’ve also read, or listened to, many by Joanna Chambers and loved them. I just knew I was going to like this book and I wasn’t wrong. The two of them writing a contemporary romance together was fantastic.
The author’s have said that it’s an angsty rom-com and they weren’t wrong. So many parts of this book had funny moments but there were also many places where I wanted to smack Lewis and tell him to wake up!! I think it’s totally possible to love a book while at the same time wanting to strangle one of the characters most of the time. 😊
Lewis comes off as a total a-hole for much of the book but there are reasons why he is the way he is even though it’s not really explored as much as I would have like to see. I also would like to have had a little more of Lewis with his brother Owen.
Some people might think that Aaron comes off as a weak character and lets Lewis walk all over him. I think he’s really strong, though. He puts up with Lewis and knows just what he needs and how to handle him. Both of these things are pretty good in a relationship as far I’m concerned. And Lewis eventually gets his head out of his you know what.
There were a few secondary characters that I think have the potential for books of their own. Owen would be one but I also think that Lewis’s ex might also be a good one. I can’t wait for more!

What a great story!

Loved the story when it came out a couple of years ago, as I've loved most of both Joanna's and Sally's previous work. The narrator, Simon Goldhill, is new to me and while his voice was pleasant enough, I thought he lacked the passion of Hamish McKinlay in Joanna's Enlightened series...yes, totally different works I get it but Hamish completely aced that series by bringing all the characters audibly to life. 4 stars for the narration.
***Book Review 2021***
All the stars for this one, it pushed ALL of my buttons!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟.
I was so chuffed when I read that Joanna and Sally were collaborating on a story, and it totally surpassed my expectations 🥳🥳🥳. All I can say is LOVED Aaron and Lewis, thought Charlie and Mils [🤬🤬🤬] were an entitled pair of complete and utter morons [thoroughly deserving of one another], and well done Geoff for doing what you did. I can only hope Tag gets his own HEA further down the line.
New narrator to me...

OMG, I have to say how much I loved Aaron. He’s a writer (of fan fic) and I’m in awe of anyone who puts pen to paper and spits out anything worthy of being read. I also empathized with his struggle – the boss from hell who also turns out to be not so bad. From the opening scene – where Lewis proves himself incompetent at tech and a bit of an ass – we jump ahead three years. For just a moment, I found that disorienting. But, in fact, it worked. Aaron and Lewis needed time to get to know each other. And, truly, they’ve formed an amazing partnership. Aaron isn’t really just Lewis’s assistant anymore. He’s part of the show. He gives creative input. His ideas often make it onto the screen.
So when they’re facing a watered down version hitting American audiences, Aaron, in particular, has concerns.
To work through all the issues, Lewis’s boss orders the team to a retreat. Lewis, totally panicked, drags Aaron along. Okay, these are some of the funniest scenes in the book – especially to those of us who’ve done corporate retreats before.
Things get heated between the men, but that eventually leads to what appears to be a permanent rift. But I had faith – and I suspected what the grand gesture would be – and I was thrilled to be proven right.
This is a great book and I honestly can’t wait for the next one – I hope it comes to audio soon.
Simon Goldhill was a new-to-me narrator and I thought he was perfect for this and I’ll happily pick up more books narrated by him in the future.
Loved it
