Publisher's Summary

What happens when the world's fiercest fashion editor learns she's pregnant—and her distracting assistant is the only one she can turn to? This wildly popular age-gap lesbian romance mixes humor and chaos with self-discovery.

Jules Moretti is newly single, an aspiring writer, and the hyper-competent assistant to the most powerful woman in fashion. It's a tough job, but her ice queen boss won't settle for less than perfection.

Vivian Carlisle helms the internationally revered fashion publication Du Jour. She might be smack in the middle of a messy divorce, but you have to make sacrifices to be the best. That's what she tells herself, anyway.

When the unthinkable happens, Vivian's regimented world is turned upside-down. Her life is about power, success, and dominance—not a baby!

This single, shocking moment throws boss and assistant together into an intimacy neither could have imagined. With their lives in chaos, every day brings a new challenge bigger than the last. But everything will work out . . . just so long as they don't do anything totally ridiculous.

Like fall in love.

Contains mature themes.

Run, Don’t Walk

If you get just one audio book series, this is the one to get.
So good, I’ve eagerly been awaiting this to drop. Literally had it marked in my calendar.

Great ice queen, slow burn story

This is written from the perspective of Jules and is a lovely example of an unreliable narrator as Jules struggles to understand the changing rules as her relationship with Vivian evolves. I love Roslyn Sinclair's complex characterisation. And Abby Craden's voice is intoxicating.

So good!

I loved this story as a fanfic but having it read by Abby Craden took it to a whole new level. So good! Now on to Above All Things. I waited till they had both been released on Audible as I knew it would kill me to have to finish one book and wait for the next.

Ice Queen Romance

Well what a slow burn. I really wasn't sure I was going to like the story but I felt the build up was fairly natural. I would have loved more of a transition between assistant to companions to lovers. I could see all those moments Vivian perceived her actions as caring for Jules. I am looking forward to seeing how their lives progress in the next book. Worth a credit. Abby Craden definitely elevates the sexy, unspoken mood of the whole story.

Challenge

This really was a vey slow burn and I enjoyed the tension but it really was hard to warm to Vivian and understand Jules being so attracted to her at times … I look forward to seeing where their story goes tho !

Disgusting - Joy of falling in love with an abuser

I can't believe this got 5 stars elsewhere. The main character is abusive. Look up the definition of intimate partner abuse and this is what occurs in this "romance" novel. Surely we can have better aims than that.
