Publisher's 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.

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.

Excellent listen

Well written and very sexy. Really enjoyed the emotional intimacy in scenes. Great narration and agree that the accent was well done.

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...

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.

Outstanding performance!!

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.

more erotica than romance

I may DNF this one. It's really not my cup of tea. I enjoy erotic scenes, but there is not enough love or respect to balance the lust. Maybe it developes over time, which can be fine, but I don't like uneven power dynamics-- not to this extent.
