About this listen
So, my Chihuahua fell in love with a bear. Excuse me, a giant, bear-like dog.
Now, the bear’s scorching hot owner is on my case, demanding an STD test...for my pet.
Another problem with this doggy love affair? The bear’s mysterious owner may be the key to funding my new venture and taking my toys company to the next level. And by “toys", I mean the fun kind, the kind every woman (and man) needs.
If only I could figure out what he’s hiding - or get my libido to behave. Because mixing business and pleasure is a bad idea, and Dragomir Lamian may not be who he seems.
Note: This is a standalone, raunchy, slow-burn romantic comedy featuring a confident, toy-obsessed heroine who knows every Russian superstition under the sun, her meet-cute with a hot, mysterious stranger, and two dogs engaged in a love affair of their own. If any of the above is not your cup of tea, run away now. Otherwise, buckle in for a laugh-out-loud, feel-good ride.

My new assignment at work: Test out toys. Yup, that kind. Well, technically, it’s to test the app that controls the toys remotely. One problem? The showgirl who’s supposed to test the hardware (as in, the actual toys) joins a nunnery. Another problem? This project is important to my Russian boss, the broody, mouthwateringly sexy Vlad, a.k.a. the Impaler. There’s only one solution: Test both the software and the hardware myself...with his help.

So when I get home that night, that’s exactly what I do. Problem is, my thoughts are still stuck on the bosshole, who’s ruining my life. That’s fine—because of all Ruslan’s many sins, being gorgeous might be the most dangerous.

When I discover my boyfriend is cheating on me, I move out right away taking what I love most – my dog. As I fly out the door, I make sure to swipe the thing my ex loves best–the VIP tickets he won to a hockey game, complete with the chance to spend an evening with the city’s two biggest NHL stars. I can’t wait to snap selfies with my ex’s idols and rub it in his face.

Even if Theo Monroe has been a pain in my rear since third grade. Even if he should be responsible enough to not wreak havoc at his sister’s destination wedding.

Rule number one for having a one-night stand: Don’t fall for the girl. After a lengthy dating slump, I finally met someone who sparked my interest. Well, first the sparks flew when we argued. Later in the evening those sparks ignited into something more. I was drawn to Devyn, in a way I hadn’t felt in a really long time. Needless to say, I was disappointed when she abruptly left after our amazing night together. I couldn’t stop thinking about her. But she hadn’t even given me her number. In a city with eight-million people, I figured I’d never see Devyn again.

My boyfriend is getting married. Okay, technically he’s my ex-boyfriend. Two months ago he decided he wanted a break. I still thought he was my happily ever after. On any other day, knowing he was gone for good would be the worst thing that could possibly happen. But not today. Because not only is my boyfriend getting married—his bride is my best friend. And they’ve sent me an invitation. There’s no way I’m going to attend. Not even when a deliciously handsome stranger tells me he needs to go as my plus one.

I should have run the other way. Paid my tab and gone back to my room. But he was there. And he was…everything. I figured, what’s the harm in letting passion rule my decisions for one night? So what if he looks like the Devil in a suit? I’d be leaving in the morning, flying home to my pleasant but predictable life. I’d never see him again. Except I do. In the last place I expected. And now everything I’ve worked so hard for is in jeopardy.

Emmett Lasker is impossible to work for. He might be model handsome and stupidly wealthy, but he also has it out for me. 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.

I touched her confectionary creation, and she told me off. Slapping my hands and cursing in her own unique fashion. No one talked to me that way. I liked it. I liked her cake even more. So, I took her to Italy to bake for me. I should have asked her first, but I had a feeling she'd say no. But I brought her cat, so that should count for something.

Once I saw Marnie Long, a sassy, sultry, charismatic older woman in a bar, I couldn’t peel my eyes off her. I wanted her. At least, for one night. I’m way too busy with my career these days for anything more. As it turned out, after recently getting burned, Marnie was on the same page as me—all she wanted was one night of fun. I was happy to be of service. What I didn’t expect during our night together, however, was how deeply we connected. Also, how much I was dying to see her again the next morning.

Of all the things that could have landed in her yard, it had to be him. For most people, finding a half-naked superbeing in their yard might be a dream come true. Unfortunately for Gracie Castro, it’s the exact opposite. Especially when he’s grouchy, rude, and shows no signs of leaving anytime soon. But when a hero of mankind needs you, you do what you have to. Even if it compromises everything you know. And totally changes your life.

He's a billionaire heir. A grump supreme. Hater of people. Bigger hater of peopling with people. And my new fake boyfriend. "Emotionally unavailable" doesn’t even begin to describe Hayes Rutherford. He has more defenses than a nuclear missile silo. And he’s the ultimate catch of the century. At least, according to his bank statement. My job’s simple: Keep all interested ladies away from the walled-off heir, by pretending to be his one true love. But you know what they say about fake-dating a billionaire: It’s all fun and games, until the scandals start.

When I'm late for a job interview and get stuck on an elevator with an annoyingly sexy, ancient-Rome-obsessed grump, the last thing I expect is for him to be the billionaire owner of the building. I also don't expect to almost kill him...accidentally, of course.

Fresh off a breakup and an eviction, I started my day like any other: a book in one hand, a coffee in the other, and faking that can-do attitude inspirational memes are made of. I was ready to take on the world—and I did. Unfortunately, it was the Underworld. One freak accident later, I’m standing face to face with the sexy-as-sin and dangerously powerful Prince of the Underworld. He has a few burning questions for me—like how a mere human unlocked the door to the Underworld’s prison and released its prisoners.

You’d think nearly dying trying to get out of a too-tight gown in a dressing room and being saved by a strong, competent man was a good thing. Not so much, though, when that strong, competent man is your ex. Your secret ex. And the reason you need a gown is because you’re part of a charity auction. The charity auction where he gets into a bidding war to win you. And now, because you’re one of few female coaches in professional baseball, and he’s the captain of the local professional hockey team, and he paid a ridiculous sum of money for you…

As if that’s not bad enough, I'm forced into a short-term youth-hockey coaching gig—which my manager swears will “rebuild my image.” But what I didn’t expect was for a gorgeous, spunky blonde to stomp onto the ice on day one and lecture me about being rude to her little brother.

The knight was supposed to be a man. Not me, Sophie MacKnight, a marketing associate from California. This must be a practical joke that the Scots play on visiting Americans. Because otherwise I’ve inherited a haunted castle in Scotland, along with one irritatingly sexy Scotsman. Frankly, I thought I would fly here, sell the heap of bricks, and head back home to a life that I…well, I was comfortable with at the very least. Instead, the people of Loren Brae are in trouble, and it appears that as the new owner of the castle, I’m next in line to reinstate the magickal Order of Caledonia.

So funny
Bella Chortsky is a sex toy developer. A very successful one. She also likes to try her own product. So one day, she is walking her dog Bonaparte ("Boner", for short) in the park while the is trying out her improved Kegel balls. The last thing she expected was that her chihuahua would fall in instalust with a ginormous dog and manage to hump her! Add to all this that the dog's owner is one hunk of a man and Bella sees herself in the middle of a massive orgasm (those damn balls work!!) induced by the sight of him. In the midst of the mayhem, her "meditation ball" (she's calling them that and sticking to it!!) falls to the floor and Winnie immediately eats it! The outraged owner had already demanded that Boner be tested for STDs because he assaulted his precious dog and now this. Now that's a meet cute!
But, as in true romantic comedy fashion, Bella loses the cup where Dragomir Lamian wrote his phone number and she can't contact him re the test results. Or anything else.
Bella goes on about her life (even though she does try to find him in the park) and it's time to meet her new investor. She goes to the meeting to pitch her new VR suit (yes, this is going to be a very special VR suits, ladies and gentlemen!) and guess who the potential investor is! Dragomir, who demands immediately that they leave the meeting and go test Boner!
Bella is completelty smitten by the mysterious Dragomir and she's been having all sorts of crazy thoughts: is he from the Russian mafia? Is he married? Why can't she find anything about him anywhere?
I loved these characters! Bella is a hoot! She's a ventriloquist and she uses that to give voice to Boner and he's got a French accent and everything. I loved all the Russian superstitions under the sun and found out that quite a few of them belong to my own culture.
When we find out who Dragomir really is, it's more fun than you'd expect. He's perfect for the Elsa from Frozen super-fan!
Super-fun read! It's book 2 in a series but it can definitely read as a standalone.
Superb narration by Ava Erickson with an added epilogue by the wonderful Teddy Hamilton.

LOL with definitely adult humor
I listened to Hard Code and was glad to notice there were 2 other related books.
Fun that some of the characters were brought in with a lot of humor from the other book.
Look forward to listening to the book with Alex

This was such an entertaining read!
This was such an entertaining read! It was a silly and just had me laughing out loud a lot. I think it's pretty funny that the Belka sex toys were a big part of this book when they were also a big part of book 1.
The heroine, Bella is the creator of the company and I love that she took pride her company. There was no shame at all. Everyone's reactions to her gifting her products was another funny part to the book.
Despite being proud of her company, she had a really good reason to keep that knowledge from Dragomir. I had a feeling he wouldn't mind though. Their meet que was funny and adorable, as well as the very, mismatched dog romance.
I highly recommend the audiobook. The narrators were fantastic! A fun listen!

Love the humor, sweet love story, and glamorous world that is created. Narrators were great.
Love that Bella is brainy, knows what she wants and goes for it. The H is the strong and considerate mate I think everyone looks for...

Dogs + toys = a RomCom that makes your day
Story/character: I laughed way more than I did in this book than in Hard Code. Right from chapter one. Although I loved, Bella and Dragomir’s love story, I enjoyed their dogs more. The voice and character Bella uses to personify her chihuahua is adorably funny. Dragomir’s big dog on the other hand is so silly and shy. I love how the two dogs are together and get into different shenanigans together.
Only downside is the single POV. Maybe it wouldn’t be as funny if it was Dragomir narrating since he’s more serious and doesn’t have that much awkward humor as Bella. But it would’ve been so nice to get his perspective and his personification of Winnie the dog, since he was willing to play along with Bella’s ventriloquism of her dog’s voice/persona.

A LIGHT EASY LISTEN OF LAUGHTER, SIZZLES & SEX
What a fun and enjoyable slow-build as Fate tangles and toys with peeved pooch owners Dragomir and Bella before Destiny herself comes in after their truth bombs and builds bridges to save their HEAs. Dragomir is much more than a handsome, sexy, droll-worthy hunk of a Businessman.. and fun-loving beautiful Bella designs, uses, gifts and is the brains of her own successful adult sex toy business. And, when seeking funding throws in a curveball.. when her tiny chihuahua Boner gets Dragomir’s beast of dog pregnant.. and when mutual attraction sizzles, sparks and combusts between the two loving pet owners, it leads to a very adult ’toy’ story. They just click (.. no, not the toys.. minds gutters please), they both vie for having the worst parents ever, they share a similar language, they love love love their dogs.. and they are heading towards loving each other too.. but they both have secrets. So once they’re out of the can, will the spill lead to heartbreak or happily ever afters?
This is a quirky, light, fun, charmingly sweet and playfully sexy Rom Com with Bella sometimes mentally vocalizing both dogs accented humorous thoughts and feelings. The initially hostile and laughable relationship between Bella and Dragomir deliciously builds into romance and sexcapades.. and the secondary characters all enrich the plot wherever they are placed in the storyline. Ava’s narration was a five ⭐️ excellent performance.. BUT tut tut 👎 don’t go taunting Teddy’s name hinting it’s dual POV when his ONLY actual contribution (which was all too briefly welcomed by me 🥰) was actually nothing more than the Epilogue ☹️😔😢 .
Worth a credit? Yes, there’s flirts, laughter and fun times.. there’s anticipation and many many rewards.. there’s a sexy rich hero that’s hiding something big and a feisty entrepreneur who knows what she wants - and the lucky lady isn’t disappointed 😉😉.. and I happily listened as it lightened the load of ‘21.

loved it even more than the first one!
I enjoyed book one but there were times when I found Fanny to be a bit unrelatable. however that issue is not in this book at all I found Bella to be extremely relatable and so likable I was literally laughing my butt off while listening to this and cheering for them every step of the way.
The performance was very good I didn't have any problems listening to it and her voice never became annoying to me. overall it was extremely great to listen to and I will definitely be looking into other books she's read because I find her voice acting to be great!

A bit silly ...
So first with the good things. This is well written and preformed and it was entertaining. I especially liked the Princess Bride references dropped in along the way. It was light hearted and not full of drama, desperation and angst. It was also about adults not teens or college aged kids so that was a plus. Now for the things I did not like. It was a bit over the top all around and I rolled my eyes a lot. But what really took this book away from five stars for me was the Sex Toys, Bella the nympho manic and the Dog Speak. The sex toys were overly present in thought, all over her house, dogs using them themselves and as chew toys, them being given for every gift and those are just the ones that really stuck out. Next is Bella's inner nympho her thoughts are sexual pretty much all the time even when highly inappropriate or out in left field as there is literally nothing sexy happening to trigger said thoughts. Lastly the dog speak could have been cute but again it was littered with Bella the nympho so cute turned into crude. For me at least the toys, nympho and dog speak were to excessive. I didn't exactly hate this book but I didn't love it either and it won't be going in to my read it again section of my personal library. However it was written well enough that I am going to explore this authors other works. Ava and Teddy already litter my library as they are consumate pros and very talented.
