Publisher's Summary

From NYT and USA Today bestselling author A.L. Jackson comes a single-dad, enemies-to-lovers stand-alone romance about a jaded club owner and his son’s teacher....

Eden Murphy came into my club looking to make some extra cash.

A girl like her didn't belong in a place like this.

She'd get ripped to shreds.

Most likely by me.

There's nothing but sweetness dripping from her sexy little body, and I'm the monster who's salivating to get a taste.

Trent Lawson is the last man I should want.

Dark.

Dangerous.

So wickedly gorgeous he makes my knees weak.

He's also an arrogant jerk who happens to be my new boss.

When I discover his adorable son is also in my kindergarten class, I know I have to keep my distance.

But neither of us can ignore the attraction that flames.

One glance, and our hearts race.

One touch, and we’re aching for what we can’t have.

One night, and we’re falling fast.

Dragging her into my sordid world is wrong.

It doesn’t matter.

Eden Murphy is mine.

Bit boring

Great story, but all those long, long monologues, too boring. You can skip half of the book and won’t miss anything. And epilogue… really disappointing

Struggled to finish

It was ok, but I struggled to finish it. The story dragged on in my opinion.

Exciting storyline and a plot twist I didn't spot!

Loved the plot for this one, saw one of the plot twists coming and surprised by another right until the last minute and I'm happy she sprung that on us.
The narrators were excellent, I'd happily listen to them in other books.
This is not the first time I've read this author and it's just clicked what it is that bugs me about her books. While I love the story, the excessive inner monologue is very trying at times! I'm talking what would be PAGES and pages of thoughts in between the characters talking and its so distracting I'd find myself forgetting what they were even talking about. And it's all repetitive thoughts. Lile Okay we get it... you just told us that he's brought you back to life and this is the first time you’ve felt like this in 6 years.... does the author not trust us to remember what we read/listened to only moments ago?
Performance ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Story ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Overall ⭐⭐⭐ because of the repetition, inner monologue letting it down.

So many words without saying anything

I'm sorry to say, This book is so hard to get into, I have stopped and started so many times and I am still yet to finish it. I love a book that builds a bit of suspense but this is like 10 pages describing one thing. I felt like the author used so many descriptive words without actually telling the story it just got boring.
