About this listen

Zoe Bloom has her life figured out. After a childhood spent begging for scraps on Boston street corners, she's clawed her way to a successful career and a safe place to call home. She knows exactly what she needs to survive - a bit of money in the bank, a roof over her head, food on the table. Friends and family are a luxury she can't afford. And forget about frivolous romantic entanglements. She can barely juggle her own problems; she certainly doesn't have time to handle anyone else's crap.

Parker West has spent his life running. From responsibility. From obligation. From the corporate CEO position he's always been expected to take over. He'd rather climb Kilimanjaro than sit in a board meeting with stiffs in suits. When a crisis at the family company forces him to return to Boston, he has no choice but to stop chasing adventures - temporarily. As soon as things are back in order, he fully intends to sail off into the sunset....

Until he locks eyes with a mysterious blonde who screams trouble and sets his senses on fire. For the first time in his life, Parker doesn't want to run. In fact, when it comes to Zoe, he may want to do something he's never done before: stay.

Parker is the Reason this Book Works

I understand characters have baggage and can be slow to trust, but I found Zoe's stick-in-the-mud attitude a bit much. Parker is a true hero and in my head, is the saving grace to this book. Not my favourite in the series, but it was good enough to not skip.

Super cute - light and fun

Favourite couple yet. Love that the heroine is not made out to be so naive and being kept from information all the time. Parker is hilarious. Not much happens though, plot-wise, unlike the first two books. It's more of a hang with the two leads and getting updated on the previous couples.

Tinker Bell and Peter Pan

I love this story it’s so cute I love how tinker (aka:Zoe) saves Peter pan(aka: Parker) sister but then ends up falling I. Love with him so freaking cute also so hard when there isn’t trust in the beginning but 100% recommend this book for a rom com with a little darker side

Consent not given

I loved the story line, but there was one part when Zoe woke up with Parker’s face between her legs. No consent was provided. The author makes a habit of the woman being controlled sexually. The interactions are tastefully described, but lack of consent is a common theme. I’m going to ….. you… no choice provided to the other party.

DNF’ed

I don’t like this narrator & the story is dragging. Book 1 was super cute but books 2 & 3 weren’t my jam. I’ll try book 4, seeing as it’s a different narrator

I never hated the "rich man" more.

I never hated the "rich man" more. The complete misunderstanding of depression was disgusting. I never want to be alone more, then after this book! And why do the main character always barely 5ft tall? Are you trying to tell women of the world they have to be the size of an 8 year old little girl to be beaten down and have no independentthought?!? WTF
