About this audiobook
At least, that's what it looked like from the outside. But from the inside looking out, she knew there was much more to life than her current situation. And when she decides to press the reset button on everything she thought she knew with her newly divorced status, her new occupation, and her move to a brand new town, she hardly expects that to somehow end up including the young, handsome security guard from her company's building.
Khalid Irving is a man on the come-up now that he's found a steady, good-paying job, a better living situation, and most importantly, a better outlook on life after a few years of no real direction. And now that he feels like he's on the right track, he's ready to pursue the woman who stole his attention the second she stepped into his building, even if that means he has to become her client first.
Jayla knows the risk of mixing business and pleasure. Khalid knows how bad he wants her. And when the two finally get together, the chemistry is electric.
But just because the fire is there, that doesn't mean there won't be a few tough lessons to learn along the way . . .
Contains mature themes.

What our readers think
Readers find this title to be an enjoyable read overall. They appreciate the portrayal of a financially independent female lead and the message that money isn't everything. Some readers had issues with the choice of narrator and felt that the female protagonist lacked accountability for her insecurities. However, the story was still entertaining and had a good storyline that tied in with the first book. Overall, readers are looking forward to the next installment.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Good read. Some character issues but the story was comical
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It was good and continued from the first book. What I didn't like was there was no accountability of Jayla leftover baggage and insecurities. Which was the cause of their brief parting in the first place. Why did it all have to be Khalid's fault. By my perception he didn't really do anything wrong. The dinner with her mother seeing her ex planted the toxic seed that lead her misunderstanding of where Khalid's where abouts the night before. Not to mention she didn't communicate what was going on. That turned me off towards the end. Him showing up and apologizing like he was the sole cause was B.S. but I guess she had to hurry up and finish to book. It fell flat for me in the end. But over all entertaining.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I enjoyed the story but the male narrator wasn't the right fit.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Nothing I disliked, just an ok read. Looking forward to the next.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Amazing story line, this made part 1 come together and made both great!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Khalid was everything Jaylah didn't know she needed. I enjoyed experiencing a book where Jaylah, the leading woman was financially stable and successful on her own and wasn't portrayed as a damsel in distress needing to be financially "rescued". Additionally, even though Khalid was re-establishing his stability in life he had other redeeming qualities which proves that money isn't the end all be all. An honest man who makes his intentions clear is priceless. I enjoyed the book overall but I don't think that Leon's voice was best suited to the description of Khalid and would recommend reading a physical copy instead.
