About this listen

'The sapphic romance of my dreams' Mazey Eddings

'Filled with top-tier tension, sparkling banter and deliciously sweet heat. I couldn't put it down!' Grace Reily

The new steamy queer rom-com from bestselling author, Alexandria Bellefleur - perfect for fans of Ashley Herring Blake, Casey McQuiston and Talia Hibbert.

Poppy Peterson's life is finally back on track and she's thriving as the publicist of the NFL's most promising quarterback (and her childhood best friend), Cash Curran. So, she doesn't appreciate when he makes an impulsive and public pass at America's popstar darling, Lyric Adair. When Lyric's notorious publicist Rosaline Sinclair reaches out, Poppy is ready to face her wrath, but instead learns that Lyric is equally interested.

As Cash and Lyric embark on their ill-advised whirlwind romance, Poppy and Rosaline are forced together, each determined to protect their own client from the other. Poppy is frustrated by Rosaline's cool demeanor, while at the same time, as a legend in the industry, she's determined to impress her. But, no matter what she does, she can't shake the feeling that Rosaline doesn't like her.

That is until one steamy night, when the two women contend with their unexpected feelings and begin a messy romance of their own. But with paparazzi, tabloids, and stalker fans nipping at their heels, Poppy and Rosaline's loyalties will be tested in ways they could never expect.

I loved the audiobook and how the whole story unchains. The bed scenes are spicy and I really think it was even more thanks to the narrator (Lauren), the voice of Rosaline is one of my favourites. At the end I wanted more, but I guess I’m just being greedy. Thanks to the author Alexandria B. For giving us a bit of a different story and almost almost two at the same time.
