About this listen
They say once bitten, twice shy. But I’ve never really been a fast learner.
You don’t forget the man who leaves you in the dust - literally, driving off as you stand there sobbing, clutching your borrowed prom dress and shoes.
You certainly don’t fall in love with him when you see him again after spending the better part of 15 years imagining his painful death from a fall off a cliff into a pit of hungry alligators.
Well, you shouldn’t.
Should you? No, you definitely shouldn’t. Got it.
So explain to me why, 15 years after that fateful night, am I standing here face to face with last man I ever wanted to see again, Finn O’Reilly, thinking, he is still the sexiest man I’ve ever seen.
He does sell his apology well. Arrogant prick, always so damned charming.
To make things worse, now I’m stuck with him for a week...in Paris.
Good thing there’s shopping and restaurants and museums to keep me busy.
Right? Right.
Then, why can’t I think of anything else other than knocking on his hotel door and telling him to pick up where we left off; no, not the dust leaving part, the hot, steamy, fog-up-the-car-windows kissing part.
Question is, after 15 years, can I really forgive him for what he did? And how will I handle it if all he wants is a week of "what happens in Paris, stays in Paris?"
Maybe the only reason broken hearts heal are to get broken again.
Once Bitten is a sweet and sexy second-chance romance by Daisy Allen. There are no cliff-hangers, no cheating scenarios, and happily ever afters await the main characters. It’s the getting there that’s the fun part.

Story
When travelwisdom.com assigns PR specialist Caroline Beckett and travel blogger Emma Morgan to cover a hot new couples retreat, they’re forced to fake a relationship to secure a reservation. Ten days in paradise would be a dream assignment, if only they’d stop arguing long enough to enjoy it. Only pretending to be in love sure feels a whole lot like falling in love. When their story goes public, ambition and privacy collide, and their chance at making a fake relationship real might just be collateral damage.

Story
I'm not interested in starting something deep and meaningful, but what I am interested in is the way your body reacts to mine when we're in the same room. You probably assume the concentration on my face is work-related, when in reality, I'm figuring out which I want more: to nail you against the wall, or to bend you over my desk.

Never mix business with pleasure. Never bring politics into the bedroom. In a way I did both when I took Jackson Rutledge as a lover. I can't say I wasn't warned. Two years later, he was back. Walking into a deal I'd worked hard to close. Under the tutelage of Lei Yeung, one of the sharpest businesswomen in New York, I had picked up a thing or two since Jax walked away. I wasn't the girl he once knew, but he hadn't changed. Unlike the last time we'd drifted into each other's lives, I knew exactly what I was dealing with...and how addictive his touch could be.

Once Bitten
This story was okay for me. Don’t get me wrong this was a cute second chance romance, but it seemed so rushed and a little unrealistic. I wish we had more of Finn’s POV.
Narration was good

A second chance for Finn.
A very sweet second chance billionaire romance. Good typical plot, but with surprising and different twists. Loved Finn and Kara's banter. Lots of feels.
Did not like how Finn's twin sister always put Finn down. I am totally against man bashing. So had to deduct a star for that.
The narrator did a great job of reading this story.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
