About this listen
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.

Sutton Spencer's ideas for her life were fairly simple: finish graduate school and fall in love. It would be a lot simpler if she could pinpoint exactly what she should do when she graduates in less than a year. Oh, and if she could figure out how to talk to a woman without feeling like a total mess, that would be great, too. Charlotte Thompson is very much the opposite.

Ambitious Daily Sentinel journalist Lauren King is chaffing on LA’s vapid social circuit, reporting on glamorous A-list parties while sparring with her rival - the formidable, icy Catherine Ayers. Ayers is an ex-Washington political correspondent who suffered a humiliating fall from grace, and her acerbic, vicious tongue keeps everyone at bay. Everyone, that is, except knockabout Iowa girl King, who is undaunted and unimpressed and gives as good as she gets.

Three words...
This was HOT!
Excellent narration with a sexy-as-hell accent and voices. The story and characters are great. Hands down, this one is worth listening to!
Definitely mature content with lots of very steamy, very well written and well read intimate scenes.

Good erotic read!
This book was actually much better than I thought it would be. Well written with juicy details and the narration by Anastasia Watley was exceptional. She really gave each of the women (and others) their own voice, accent and personality.

Wonderful story
The volume of Diana can get too low at times making it hard to hear what she’s saying.

Outstanding Story
Roslyn Sinclair has easily become one of my favourite authors, and her seemingly effortless storytelling is always such a treat. The X Ingredient is descriptive, emotional, erotic, and surprisingly amusing. I found myself laughing out loud quite a few times in the best ways. The narrator does an amazing job of bringing this story to life even more, and I'll be watching for more performances from her, too.

A great listen!
A lot of people were talking about the southern accent, I found it endearing, perhaps because I don’t hear them very often. I enjoyed the story line and the character’s believable. It was read at a good pace and I found myself becoming emotionally attached to Laurie and her reactions to different situations. Oh, and the sex was hot! Relieved there was an epilogue...

Chefs Kiss
(Whistle noises and hooting lol) this book delivered on the steam and the spice for sure. I mean the only word to describe this book is HOT!
I loved the dynamic between our two main protagonists and how they played off one another.
The only thing I wish there was more of was fluff. Like some more soft and sweet moments between these two would've been lovely since the chemistry was already off the charts.
The ending though was too easy for me and I felt like Sinclair could've taken more of a risk there so it didn't end so smoothly. I wanted more drama and angst but when it got to the end it just fell flat. Like there is so much tension and heat building throughout this story only for everything they risked for each other to just turn out fine?
The book paints a picture of this incredibly sexy high-stakes relationship, not only because of how it looks (sleeping around with the boss) but because of Diana's deep-rooted denial of her Sexuality because of her family and taught beliefs of who she should be. Only for nothing to truly come of it. Now don't get me wrong the moment where Diana finally lets go and admits to herself who she truly is beautiful and gut-wrenching, but it also missed the mark for me quite a bit as we got closer to the conclusion of the novel.
But who doesn't love a world where everyone gets their happily ever after? I sure do and it was lovely to see in the end how much these two developed and made each other better.
Overall 3.75 stars (Will definitely be reading Sinclairs' other books after this one because wooo)

Wow, this audiobook was phenomenal! The story grabbed me right away, and the narrator was one of the best I've come across thus far. This story had lots of humour in it, interesting believable characters, and blow your socks off smut! A win in my books!

I could not finish
Worst “novel” I have ever read!! If you want no storyline and just want to listen to sex this book is for you. The SYNOPSIS does say erotic but I was hoping for a bit more of a storyline.
I tried to finish but just couldn’t do it.
