I don’t have the best track record with Audible Originals but this one was enjoyable. The plot was fresh and interesting. I also don’t always love celebrity romances but I felt like that part of this was also well done. While the romance was a little fast, there was deep and significant conversation and it didn’t feel like insta-love. My only complaint is what felt like casual intimacy. This is closed door so it wasn’t the content shown but more the emotions around it - that part definitely happened too fast and without real commitment. 

Content Notes: Fade to black romance; some strong language
