About this listen

He's a heartbreaker with a scorecard. She's his dirty secret. No need to ask... he is A Smooth Operator!

I'm Remi Drake, the king of Memphis nightlife. At under thirty, I own the hottest spots in town, and believe me, I enjoy every perk that comes with it.

Echo is my sister's friend. She was the designated ugly fat friend (DUFF) in high school. Now, she's a cancer researcher with a PhD. She's no longer fat but curvy and sexy. Then there's that amazing brain of hers. Plus, she's always had a thing for me.

One night, things get out of hand, and I pitch the idea of an acquaintance-with-benefits relationship: no strings, no promises, and most importantly, no one can ever know. Just fun. Perfect, right? Except it isn't. Jealousy and old feelings twist our no-strings-fling into something complicated.

When Echo overhears me saying terrible things about her in front of my friends, she decides she's had enough of my bullshit. By the time I figure out that Echo is the one for me, it's too late. I've already lost her.

A Smooth Operator is a standalone love story that is part of the A Modern Vintage Romance series. Books in this series bring back the nostalgia of Harlequin and Mills & Boon romances from the eighties with a modern twist. Meet alpha men who know how to wound but also to grovel, and meet strong women who hold their own.

It made me feel emotions

I liked this story and the emotions it made me feel. For this review, I need to separate my dislike of the characteristics of the characters and the way they were written.

Maya Alden has done a good job of capturing the behaviour of the upper crust towards those they deem below them. This book really illustrated the impact that attitude can have and how people become blind to what's going on around them.

The parts I struggled with the most are the distasteful way Remi spoke to Echo and how little Echo regarded herself becoming involved with Remi in the first place, even though that was essential for the storyline.

I would've liked more about after, but I realise stories can't just keep going on and on.

I read on Kindle and read along on Audible with dual style audio.
