Story
I’m falling for the father of the baby I’m carrying. The problem is: it’s not my baby. And the broody widower is not looking for a long-term partner. As a surrogate, the deal was that I’d only be in England long enough to give birth. At first, the man seemed as pretentious as his name: Sigmund Benedictus. He and I butted heads. Sig challenged my intentions, accused me of just wanting to do this for the money. Gradually, he learned to trust me.

I was never supposed to see him again. Him being the man wearing the perfectly tailored suit, who oozed an intoxicating mixture of wealth, rebellion, and sex appeal. One night. No strings. No names. Still riding the high from last night, I walk in to meet my new client, and he’s wearing that same dangerous smirk. Yes, I’m consulting for Callahan Sharpe. That Callahan Sharpe. Billionaire heir who abides by no rules, bucks convention, and is determined to complete one final project to honor his late father’s legacy. Luckily, and unluckily for me, I’m tasked to help.

Laurel Lake held the title America’s Friendliest Town for seventeen years running, and friendly was just what I needed right now. Unfortunately, friendly wasn’t the welcome I got when I arrived. Instead, I got Fox Cassidy. My tall, dark, and burly neighbor, who grunted at me instead of saying hello. Okay, so I might’ve had his mailbox in my hands the first time we met. And it might’ve been a little crushed after removing it from under my tire. And I might’ve needed his help breaking into the place I was staying in after the key broke off in the lock.

The day I showed up to Dax Moody’s sprawling home, I had no idea what was coming. As a traveling massage therapist, I was used to entering the houses of strangers. But this assignment was different from any before it. From the outside, I’d correctly assumed the owner was rich. What I didn’t realize was that he would be younger than I’d imagined, single, stunningly gorgeous, and mysterious.

One night. No names. No commitment. That was our agreement. But Spencer Lancaster was addictive. And I was high. High off his taste, starved for his kiss, and desperate for his touch. So when he asked me to stay, to enjoy his company for more nights than I knew I should, I wasn't in the right mind to say no. Everything was perfect. A dream come true. But half a world away, there were secrets. Lies. Insecurities. All of the truths that could tear us apart.

Being a single dad while managing one of the biggest businesses in New Orleans keeps me very busy. I spend my free time with my daughter, Bella—reading to her, styling her hair, or choosing nail polishes appropriate for an eight-year-old. But I’m okay with that, because she is my whole world. After my divorce, I made myself a promise: I wouldn’t date until Bella was older. Then, all my good intentions go up in smoke when I hire our newest chef for the flagship restaurant in the French Quarter.

Hayden Cole was my brother's best friend and the boy from the wrong side of the tracks. Broken smiles, dark hair, and eyes that had seen far too much for his age. We spent a summer together in secret. In the darkness, in the silence, our hearts spoke the same language. Until he left without a word and tore mine right out of my chest. Ten years later, he returns from the Navy, demanding a second chance. He's every inch the rogue I remember—crooked smiles and dark eyes—but now he's a man grown. Tall and broad and persistent.

It started when I hosted a little party for a bunch of new friends. Though “friends” might not be the right word since the invitees were all the women I’d found out my boyfriend was talking to behind my back. When the guest of honor walked in—aka my now ex—things took a turn…. Unfortunately, a stranger witnessed the whole blowout. I was in a mood that night and ended up giving this gorgeous guy an attitude, too. As if my night could get any worse, before he stormed off, he informed me he was actually my landlord.

Emmett Lasker is impossible to work for. He might be model handsome and stupidly wealthy, but he also has it out for me. He’s given me more last-minute and weekend requests than anyone else, ruining any plans I make. I should quit. And I will. Just as soon as I hit my two-year anniversary and earn out my signing bonus. But after a particularly awful day at work, a breakup (via text!), and my computer crashing, I’ve had enough! So at 11:59 Friday night, I barge into Emmett’s office to tell him what I really think of him. Only, that’s not what happens. AT ALL.

The first time I laid eyes on Henley James, I was mesmerized. The chemistry between us was like nothing I’d ever felt. Impeccable suit, dimpled smile. He was charming and gorgeous, sophisticated and suave. He gave me his business card and asked me to call. His dating game was strong; I was gone from his first smile. I’d love to tell you our date was a raging success, but it wasn’t. Far from it. I decided right there on that day that Henley James and I would forever be mortal enemies; I would never think of him again.

I'm not interested in starting something deep and meaningful, but what I am interested in is the way your body reacts to mine when we're in the same room. You probably assume the concentration on my face is work-related, when in reality, I'm figuring out which I want more: to nail you against the wall, or to bend you over my desk.

Hot Grumpy British Billionaire? Yes please
Provoke is one of the best Grumpy/Sunshine, Off-Limits/Forbidden British Billionaire Romances I’ve read/listened to in a really long time.
Narrated by one of my favourite pairings in audio: Shane East and Vanessa Edwin #Shanessa.
Charles and Raven’s steamy, pulse-pounding, swoon-worthy story features:
💰🇬🇧🙍♂️ British Hero
🇺🇸🙍🏼♀️😍Talented American Sunshine Heroine
⛔️ Off-Limits/Forbidden Romance
🗽 New York Setting
😠😃Grumpy/Sunshine
Raven Bennett is celebrating landing a new job as a Marketing Analyst with friends at Silver nightclub.
Throughout the night a sexy man (Charles) is making eyes at her. Charles is a marketing exec out having drinks with friends and takes an important call in the empty cloakroom.
Raven mistakes the cloakroom for the bathroom.
Instantly sparks fly, they kiss but it’s short-lived when they’re interrupted abruptly by Charles’ best mate Paxton.
They part ways, only to discover that Raven’s new boss and owner of the company she works for is the man she kissed in the cloakroom: Charles Cavendish and as much as they try to keep their relationship strictly professional, the universe keeps pulling them back together, their attraction for each other was intoxicating.
I also fell in love with the secondary characters in this book: Charles’ Personal Assistant Shelby was no joke: she kept him honest and pulled no punches, whilst embodied the model of loyal assistant that would defend and protect the integrity of her CEO.
Equally I loved Charles’ best mate Paxton: he was always there to be the voice of reason and pull Charles’ head-in when he was being ridiculous and was also able to form a great relationship with Raven.
Their chemistry is off the charts hot, steamy and incendiary - not only because their physical attraction, but they were kindred spirits in that they were both very strong work ethic and both suffered the loss of a parent.
Charles is a driven successful billionaire that kept strict rules about office relationships, but try as he might, he could not resist Raven – their attraction to one and other was so intensely intoxicating that he couldn’t help breaking the rules. She was his little Rae of Sunshine – I see what Ava did there: I love it!
I fell in love with Charles and Raven and thoroughly enjoyed their humour and their banter. I was cheering them on from the get-go and Charles stole my heart once he opened his heart to Raven.
Needless to say their path to HEA wasn’t an easy one, there was drama, deception, and even unrequited love triangles with one in particular you don’t quite see coming.
This is my first Ava Harrison book, so I popped by proverbial cherry with this book and boy have I been missing out. British Heroes are my kryptonite, so add the Billionaire Grumpy Boss factor and I’m a gonner.
I absolutely devoured this audiobook, once I started, I couldn’t stop listening.
Shane’s portrayal of the grumpy, arrogant, growly, handsome Brit is flawless and perfectly captures Charles’ emotions. We get his signature deep, growly sonorous tones that I adore and come to expect – he is beyond perfect at the Billionaire British Hero at this point and each performance gets better and better.
Equally flawless is Vanessa portrayal of the driven, intelligent, caring, and delicious Raven. I adore Vanessa, she is big favourite of mine, her depth of talent and range in her accents and male voices is phenomenal.
Together Shane and Vanessa are the perfect Charles and Raven. I already knew I would love this story, but Shane and Vanessa took me on a journey that had me loving this even more. It was a fantastic performance of a fabulous book from a great author!
If I could give this book 6 or more stars I absolutely would, it was outstanding!
