About this listen

Not to jinx it or anything, but the stars seem to finally be aligning for Will Cowen. After accepting a dream promotion at one of New York City's most renowned publishing houses and moving in with his oldest friend, he's ready to dive headfirst into this new chapter—that is, until he crosses paths with Graham Austin.

No matter how hard he tries, he can't help but put the wrong foot forward in front of the all-business and inconveniently gorgeous heir to the publishing empire.

So, when a heartbreakingly beautiful manuscript lands on his desk, Will seizes the opportunity for a win.

Will's confidence is obliterated when the author ghosts him at an important publishing event. He finds himself in need of comfort, which comes from the least likely person, the normally cold and distant Graham. This small glimpse behind Graham's icy exterior is the spark that sweeps these two up in an epic and unforeseen romance.

As his author's manuscript begins to take shape, the words that initially brought them together become more and more tangled, making it painfully obvious to Will that despite your best efforts, there is truly no hiding from the past.

But can it be rewritten?

Contains mature themes.

actually enjoyed this book after getting past the first few chapters. related to the feelings and trauma from an alcohol parent.

slow start

i really liked this overall, the characters were great and had good chemistry, and i liked seeing this publishing industry setting - however the last few chapters felt a bit rushed for me; there was a lot happening in quite a short amount of time and it just didn’t feel like we got to really sit in any of those moments and truly absorb what was happening before we were moving onto the next big thing.

a sweet book

wow this book covers a lot in its short time, especially in the last hour! Kai Rubio is a favorite narrator of mine and I feel he did this book justice. listened at 1.15 speed.

An immature and insecure Will Cowen wins a position with a publishing company through the help of a friend and proceeds to act unprofessionally towards his boss, Graham Austin, sometimes berating him, at other times making advances until Graham reciprocates. Will is concealing past trauma and Graham clearly has his own secrets.

I’m a big fan of workplace romances and I’ve read some great romances set in publishing houses, but … I gave up on this around the 50% mark—I tried, but found Will very hard to like or respect. There’s a disconnect with Will, he doesn’t feel like a real person: he presents as an eager-to-please Pollyanna but behaves otherwise. The story is told from his POV so we sit in his emotionally volatile mind a lot. We are told rather than shown what Graham is like and he remains an insubstantially drawn character. There’s very little that would convince me their connection was real, it sat near the instalove end of the romance scale and felt rushed. 🎧 I can’t decide why I didn’t enjoy Kai Rubio’s audio narration: was it because of the content or his performance? Probably because he was channeling Will (currently free on the Audible Plus catalogue).

Not the work romance / drama for me!
