Honestly, I didn't like this one. It just didn't work for me. I felt that the story was kind of boring and lacked any depth. I couldn't find myself getting interested in the characters, I'm not sure what exactly it was, but I found them a bit unlikeable. I think it had to do with the fact that it was about rich and famous people, and it just didn't work for me. Elle/Jane and Henry didn't have any natural chemistry; all their interactions felt so forced, and I just couldn't get behind it. This is a spicy book, but I also didn't like these scenes; they felt uncomfortable or something. 
 
I listened to the audiobook, and I really like this narrator. She did a great job with her voice and accent change with each character. I would definitely listen to another book narrated by her.
 
Unfortunately, this book just isn't something I would recommend. I didn't like it; it just wasn't for me.
