About this listen
A sexy alpha male from the poshest part of Philadelphia gets snowed in with his beautiful neighbor in this modern-day rags-to-riches, enemies-to-lovers romance from best-selling and award-winning author Lydia Michaels.
Avery Johansson is borrowing against her youth and beauty to afford a better future by working as a sugar baby. Gifted at playing the role of a delicate female, she makes a living by stroking men’s egos. But the real Avery prefers leather over lace and spice instead of nice.
Noah Wolfe is used to getting exactly what he wants when he wants, and when he sets his sights on his sexy neighbor, he’s determined to have her. Little does he know, the soft female across the hall doesn’t swoon for roses–she plays with the thorns.
Two dominant hearts collide in an explosion of sin and safewords as boundaries are pressed to the limit in a battle of power and ultimate possession.

Story
Riley has always been a boy in the background of my life–effortlessly cute, entitled, and a total flirt. Thankfully, since I’m his sister’s best friend, he never crossed that line with me, that is, until he unexpectedly saved me in a crisis. He was only trying to be a friend, but I accidentally fell for his irresistible charm. I know Riley doesn’t do serious relationships, so–for the first time in my life–I’m keeping things casual. But when reality gets overly complicated and I try to let him go, the unthinkable happens.

The stories were all wrong—Hook was never the villain. For two centuries, all of the Darling women have disappeared on their 18th birthday. Sometimes they’re gone for only a day, some a week or a month. But they always return broken. Now, on the afternoon of my 18th birthday, my mother is running around the house making sure all the windows are barred and the doors locked. But it’s pointless. Because when night falls, he comes for me. And this time, the Never King and the Lost Boys aren’t willing to let me go.

This is Alabaster Penitentiary... Where they send you when the world thinks you're dead. And trust me, you'll wish you were. We're the stain on society. The freaks, the creeps, your favorite Netflix documentaries come to life. They lock us up and throw away the key, because we deserve it. But not me. I'm just a lowly bank robber. I don't belong here, surrounded by psychopaths and killers with no remorse... At least, I don't think I do.

I recently picked up this audiobook narrated by Lucinda Gainey. I loved the plot of the story, but at times was pulled away from the book while listening. Had this story been written in third person, it may have been fitting, but the first person narrative made me wish this had been performed by someone with a voice that helped me imagine the appearance of a young college girl. I enjoy the easy flow of reading Lydia's work and will continue to read her entire backlist.
This story is angsty and features a dominant female character who butts up against a dominant male. Avery has a no nonsense attitude versus Noah who can be jealous and possessive. One thing in common they both share is that they both know what they want out of life. I liked getting to know these characters and watching their relationship overcome all the obstacles in their way.

I enjoyed the overall idea of the story but by the end, I wasn't as in love with the characters and story as I thought I would be. The main fmc is a sugar baby and she goes on dates to pay off her debts so that she can be financially secure because that is one of her ultimate life goals after the hardships she faced in her childhood. When these neighbors meet they instantly feel attracted to one another and the main mmc will not stop until he wins her over and tries to convince her that what they have is worth exploring.

Avery was a girl, trying to change her past, and in order to do that, she’s working as a sugar baby. Everything is going well, until she meets her neighbor Noah….
Highly recommend if you’re looking for a super sexy story. I do wish the narration had multiple people doing the voices as it was a bit awkward with one doing all the voices.
Extra spicy, pretty woman vibes

I love when I get a Lydia Michaels book. I did an audio listen of this one and like all her other books I love it! Avery Johansson is working as a sugar baby which is basically being what her dates want a delicate, desirable arm candy who strokes their ego minus the touching etc.
Noah Wolfe walks his way into Avery's life as her neighbor who seen it all, all while throwing in the cards for a change with Avery.
Avery is strong and feisty but underneath she is running from the ugly past. Noah is used to getting what he wants and really suffers when Avery pushes him away. The push and pull with these two were great! All ending with a happily ever after for now!
