About this listen

Sparks ignite and tempers flare when a sexy, optimistic wedding planner moves his business in across the hall from a jilted divorce lawyer's practice.

From high school up until he became a successful attorney, Jacob Snowden was convinced that love had it out for him. "Everyone left" were the words he lived by. His mother, his high school sweetheart, his father, and his fiancé - they all left Jacob just when he felt it was safe to let down his guard.

Not any longer.

Jacob was a determined man, set at keeping people at a distance. If his six-foot-one, military-made body didn't scare people off, his permanent scowl surely did. At almost 40, Jacob's social life was nonexistent, but he told himself his work fulfilled him. He helped people get out of their loveless marriages.

Jacob Snowden was one of the best divorce lawyers on the East Coast and was damn proud of it. So, imagine his disdain when a wedding planner moves into the suite directly adjacent to his...an insanely masculine, male wedding planner.

Contains mature themes.

Jacob Snowden has been let down by everyone he’s ever loved or trusted—that makes him an incredibly ruthless and highly sought-after divorce lawyer, but it sure doesn’t make him a nice person. When a wedding planner and his staff move into the same office building, Jacob is supremely irritated by Wylde Sterling and his bubbly personality. Wylde has also been unlucky in love but he knows he just hasn’t met the right person … until he meets Jacob.

This is a classic grumpy / sunshine romance and we spend the first third of the book watching AE Via dig bigger and bigger holes for Jacob before he meets Wylde. I liked how Wylde turned Jacob’s life around but I still found Jacob’s misfortunes pretty depressing. Jacob was so full of hate and anger, I really puzzled over how Wylde was at all attracted to him other than on a purely physical level—it seemed unlikely since Wylde was pretty picky about another date early on. I was entertained by the usual AE Via drama—Jacob had lots of tantrums—but I found it hard to condone the violent bar scene. Tor Thom narrates the audio in his deep, ponderous style which is starting to grow on me a little (currently free on the Audible Plus catalogue). All-in-all, I’ve enjoyed other AE Via stories more.
