About this listen
I need a job, but I should’ve listened to everyone who warned me about Essex DePaul, the millionaire CEO of his own tax firm. He’s one of the most handsome men I’ve ever seen. He has eyes that make you forget to swallow, a dazzling smile guaranteed to make your heart race, and a face you’d surely never forget. Everything about him is perfect–everything except his attitude.
He’s one of the rudest, most callous men I’ve ever met. He takes rude to a whole new level. At work, they call him "the dictator". Look at him the wrong way, and you’re fired. Say something out-of-line to him, and you’re out on your tail.
So, why do I work here? The money. I’m broke with no hope, living with my best friend in a cramped two-bedroom apartment. I need my own place, and for some unfathomable reason, Mr. DePaul has agreed to pay me double the salary for an accounting position. With that much money, I should be able to put up with his attitude, shouldn’t I?

Story
From the moment his eyes met hers, there was something. Time stood still, the world around them vanished, and electricity... instant electricity. Immediately, she owned him in an inexplicable way he couldn’t quite understand. He couldn't escape her. Not in his dreams. And soon, not even in his reality. He was the man that made her soar. There was nothing in the world she wanted more than him. Absolutely nothing. His touch made her levitate. When she was with him, she was limitless. He felt like home.

Story
When souls are tied, it's never goodbye. A boy I was that summer evening I met you, pulling your belongings out of the truck and into your new home. I knew it was love then. A whole man I was the day that you met me at the altar and agreed to love me until death do us part. A shell of a man I've become since it did, unable to move on, move forward, or progress in any way until I discovered that not even death was permanent enough to keep us apart. A better man I'm destined to be, knowing that, at some capacity, you're still with me. Our love is one that never dies.

She’s an angel. And she doesn’t mind dancing with a demon. That’s why I’d move mountains, dry seas, and hydrate the desert if it made her happy. She brought goodness to the world. It was only right that I made it hers, along with the two tiny beauties that shared her hazel eyes and perfect smile. For them, I’d do whatever. For them, I’d become whoever.

OMG!!!
Essex, OMG!!! This book is so good. Had to start the next book as soon as this one was finished and it is 1:00 a.m. in the morning. This book was funny; but sad. The narrator did an excellent job with characters. Tina, you have knocked it out of the park! On to book 2.

Why split the book
This should have been one book. Why make us use 2 credits? I feel robbed! I have never heard this narrator, she was ok. I have to hear her again to make a better judgment.

I want to know what happens.. but I’m not buying book 2.
I really wanted to enjoy this book but I felt like I kept waiting for some big moments. It’s a pretty decent start to a story but the way it ends in order to set up for book 2 annoyed me.
