About this listen
A one-night stand with a handsome stranger wasn't a problem - until he tries to steal her company.
Ambitious, high-powered CEO Lauren Bradley is one press release away from catapulting her company to new heights.
Rival CEO Antonio Forte is arrogant, controlling, and sexy. She should know, since Antonio's a one-night stand she thought she'd never see again.
Antonio wants to take over more than her company, he wants her as part of the acquisition.
Let the games begin....

Story
Kit Carlyle isn’t just some woman. Beautiful? Yep. Seductive? Damn straight. She’s also my best friend and my coworker. But when her cousin dies and leaves her with a long-as-hell and sexy bucket list, Kit turns to me for a helping hand. What can I say? I’m a sucker for a woman in need. Besides, I’m not about to let another man steal away my girl, occupy her bed, or fill my shoes. But as the stakes get higher and the items become hotter, I’ll have to face the toughest challenge of all: admitting I want more than Kit’s friendship. I want to make her mine.

Damn, she's sexy. Reagan Preston intrigues me from the moment I lay eyes on her. And speaking of laying...I want between those thighs. But I want to make her burn for me first. Every debate and stolen moment is foreplay for us. She claims she hates me, but her body tells a different story. I plan to win this election, but I also want to win the sharp, fiery Democrat who captures my attention like no woman ever has. Politics is filthy, just like all the things I want to do to Reagan Preston.

Story
Before senior year, I was forced to move away, leaving behind the only man I have ever loved. He promised he'd love me forever. He vowed nothing would tear us apart. He swore he'd wait for me, but Jack lied. Six years later, when our paths cross again, his broad shoulders, rock-hard chest, and rippling muscles almost make me forget his betrayal. His rugged voice, tempting lips, and sinful smile make it harder for me to deny the feelings I still have for him. He wants to make me his again, but our past may be too much for us to overcome.

He’s given me more last-minute and weekend requests than anyone else, ruining any plans I make. I should quit. And I will. Just as soon as I hit my two-year anniversary and earn out my signing bonus. But after a particularly awful day at work, a breakup (via text!), and my computer crashing, I’ve had enough! So at 11:59 Friday night, I barge into Emmett’s office to tell him what I really think of him. Only, that’s not what happens. AT ALL.

A sizzling hot page turner
OMG! Chelle Bliss is the mistress of hot stories that you can't put down. Lauren and Antonio burn up the pages. A one night stand that will blow your mind when they realize they are each other's arch business rival. Natasha Soudek is a shining star as Lauren and Brian Pallino as the voice of Antonio will melt you where you sit! This ends in a cliffy but is more than worth the anticipation of the following book.

Great Acquisition
I really enjoyed this audiobook. It was exciting and had a great story between two strong individuals. Lauren and Antonio are both very smart CEOs in competing companies. What a unique story. Lauren is a typical, strong business woman and CEO of a company. Her dedication has stifled the growth of her personal life. Antonio is just the person to help her out. The narrators did an excellent job with this story and the accents. Their presentation of the characters added to this book.

Very Hot
Acquisition was a very fun read. I am surprised at how much I enjoyed it. The enemies to lovers aspect was a lot of fun because of the fact that Lauren slept with Antonio before learning he is the man trying to take over her company. It has a great push and pull dynamic to their relationship because Lauren worked so hard for her company and it has a lot of sentimental value to her and the fact the man she can't stop wanting wants to take it from her puts her in a big dilemma. I love how much she can't deny Antonio because the man is hot and very sexy. The sex scenes were so hot and I couldn't get enough of them together.
The other thing I really liked was that this book had a bit of science in it. It made Lauren's company more interesting to me. That ending was something I was not expecting at all. It took me by complete surprise. The narrators were pretty good. I think Brian Pallino did a nice accent for Antonio. I really liked listening to his voice. Natasha Soudek was ok.
Acquisition was fun and sexy. I liked the chemistry between Lauren and Antonio a lot and I can't wait for them to get to know each other even more as they fight over Lauren's company.

Couple of points...
This book/series has been out for awhile but here's my humble opinion. I agree with a couple of the reviewers that the female narrator may not have been a good fit. Her Italian accent was more Russian. LOL She's good....just not for this one. Should have been more Brian chapters. Actually, I'm not sure why the hero had to be Italian at all but he is. Anyway, I think part of the problem was the author took such a long time to set it up. Didn't have a good "grab and pull the reader in" at the beginning of the book. Like other reviewers, I had a hard time with the heroine's slightly whiny, indecisive, pouty, stomp your foot like a 4 yr old behavior....not to mention the ridiculous giggly teenager conversations with her best friend---certainly not how a CEO would behave.
There's one thing that I don't like that this author does that distracts me......she'll "wander aimlessly". Example, H/H are in a kiss and the heroine is thinking .... and thinking.....and thinking. Makes you forget they were kissing in the first place. Or a question will be asked and before the heroine answers, she's thinking....and thinking....and thinking.....and when she replies, you've forgotten the question. Just wondering why.

This narrator needs to blow her nose, learn to read scenes and understand that she isn't an actress. period. We don't need a female William Shattner.

alpha romance with feminist touches
Book was interesting. Tropish rivals to lovers type book. The only major difference was CONSENT was a major part of this book. Romance kinda dips a toe into dubcon a lot, and even though Antonio/H was an a-hole, the fact he cared so much about her consent really mattered to me and convinced me to keep it to 4 instead of 3.
The story itself isn't 3 worthy, but it ends on a cliffhanger I didnt know about and now I have to wait a month for the sequel!
I read in audiobook form, and while I didnt think the narrators sounded excited to be there half the time, the strong writing made up for it. It wasn't even that their voices lacked luster, they just didn't command power, and they were powerful people. Ceos for crying out loud.
Antonio thought with his other head too much, and I'm actually in a small minority who doesn't find Italian men sexy, but his need for consent saved his character for me.
Lauren was a good character, I didnt necessarily connect to her but she was strong in how she displayed how women have to survive and carry themselves in a male dominated industry.
And how cool was it they worked in an industry that put people in space! That was so different, everyone works in the same fields in romance and while it was confusing at first it really painted a different world around the story.
The love scenes were good, but few and far between. More sensual than raunchy. This is romantic suspense than regular romance based on events in the book and that cliffhanger I wouldn't have had an issue with if the blurb had announced it.
Guess I gotta wait for the sequel.
