Story
A naïve activist is hired by a corporate villain but doesn't realize it. Cue one awkward farce, a twisty puzzle, and the slowest of slow burns in this opposites-attract, ice queen romance. Nine years ago, aloof, icy Michelle Hastings chose career over love. She's now living with that choice as she rules a secret corporation catering to the rich and powerful. Enter Eden Lawless. The guileless activist finds it a bit weird being employed by a mystery organization to bring down a corrupt mayor. But, hey, she's up for a challenge. Much harder is getting her beautiful new boss out of her head.

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!

After the death of her grandmother, reluctant heiress Madilyn Marak agrees to stay with her grandfather at the estate for the summer. There, she finds an old diary hidden in an antique desk in the attic—The Apple Diary—written by her great-grandmother Isabel. In there, she finds the love story of Isabel and Lorah, along with a photograph of the two young women from 1933. The diary, like the love affair, was short and brief, but rich and vivid enough for her to feel a true bond with the women despite the heartbreaking ending.

Don’t underestimate Ari!
This book has been on my TBR list for a while now. I couldn’t stop listening . Ari is not ditsy. She is very intelligent but with her sheltered life a little naive. Such a great listen. I had to do it again.
Always love listening to Angela Dawe and now a bigger fan of Roslyn Sinclair

Totally enthralling
Not usually a reader of science fiction but this was enthralling. Loved the characters and the story. It's the sort of story you keep thinking about long after you've come to the end. Satisfying ending too. Wonderful narration only added to the audio book.

Assistant (no spoilers) was delicious from her first words. The story didn’t feel rushed, and the spice was incredibly hot. Will definitely listen again!

Everyone is right, Ari is a bit of an idiot lol
This was well written and enjoyable. The main character being a ditz is true but because the book is from her perspective I think it adds rather than subtracts. Kind of like how in theatrical plays or movies the audience knows more than the characters so you can see what's coming and relish in it. Definitely a recommendation :)

Great book
Really enjoyed this book! The relationship between the two characters starts on quite early in the book which is a lot better than having to wait until the end. I think this might be classed as Sci fi but I wouldn't say it feels that way at all.

Original & Entertaining Story
I wasn’t sure from the blurb whether this would be my sort of book or what to expect but I’m glad I took the chance on this.
Arianna is a young shy botanist preferring to spend her time alone tending to her plants, when her life is thrown into turmoil by the arrival of Assistant,who is given to her as a slave by her father.
Although it’s quite predictable early on as to who Assistant really is, I enjoyed the development of the relationship between the two and the reliance on each other even though Arianna’s naivety frustrated me at times.
The story is told from Arianna’s POV which really works as her simplicity and openness to new experiences makes this a refreshing read.
Overall, original and entertaining, with a great performance.

I really enjoyed this, the performance was brilliant, the story was enhanced by it.
I felt like it was medieval space, maybe a little predictable but extremely enjoyably so
