Summary

A dazzling Audible Original written by Natalie Cooper, performed by Jenna Coleman (Victoria, The Cry)

Iris Nightingale is more than okay. She has her life planned out to a perfect schedule. Work, run, sleep, repeat. She spends her quiet Friday nights sitting alone on a bench in the park, trying to push back the memories that no amount of running can help her escape.

But one evening, there’s someone else on her bench - Hunter. Tall, wry and infuriating: everything about him gets under Iris’s skin. Little does she know that he's about to upset more than just her routines...

Hired as a consultant at the firm where Iris works as engineering manager, Hunter has a knack for knowing just what to say to irritate her, and Iris can’t help rising to the spark in his eyes each time.

Sent away on a work trip together, Iris is taken out of her comfort zone. As their connection deepens, will Iris finally be able to face the memories that have been haunting her for years? Can her blossoming relationship with Hunter survive some brutal truths?

Only one thing is certain: The spark between them is beyond Iris’s expertise, and there's no running away from it.

Great chemistry between characters

I loved this book. I’m not always a romance fan but this one had such great substance to it and was so well written. It made you really care about the characters and their outcome. I raced through the book and was definitely shocked by the unexpected twist. I look forward to more books from this author.

Beautifully written and presented

I adored this book! The chemistry and banter between Iris and Hunter was just perfect (as was the spice!) I really cared about the characters and felt that I was on a journey with them. The narration was brilliantly done and I can’t wait to read more from this author!

unexpectedly good

This isn't my usual genre so I was surprised when it kept me engaged for a long car journey. Found myself thinking about the banter & chemistry after finishing it. Witty, thought provoking and wonderfully read

Beautiful!

Great one, beautiful banter between pretty much all the characters. And just when you got comfortable with the storyline, an expected twist. Absolutely loved it.

SO much more than Okay!

This was a stunningly beautiful book, a romance with depth and I completely fell in love with the characters, their chemistry and their journey. Natalie Cooper’s writing and Jenna Coleman’s narration were the perfect combination and moved me to tears more than once.

BEST audiobook EVER 😎

Absolutely loved it. I was tempted to listen to it ALL in a day but a voice told me that I had to make it mine and so I Took my time with it and am so glad I did. Looking forward to listening to it all over and over again. Jenna Coleman has the GREATEST voice in the WORLD and is also the GREATEST actress in the WORLD and this Scottish Idiot can't wait to see or hear whatever she releases NEXT.. I'm living for her projects and they have helped me so much over the last SEVEN years with the grief of losing my Dad, my partner and especially losing the love for MYSELF. I'm gonna get better soon and hopefully I'm lucky enough to meet Jenna again and tell her Thank You. Thank You to everyone involved in bringing this book to my ears especially the author, Natalie Cooper I want you to know it will forever be a comfort to me when I'm not feeling like myself. You're the BEST people EVER 😎 Here's your trophy 🏆 You deserve it. Love yous hunners.

Gorgeous

I absolutely loved this - it's not your typical romance book and is all the better for that. I love how the depth to the story gradually reveals itself. The writing is great, and I really like Jenna Coleman as a narrator. Will be seeking out more from Natalie Cooper.

Moving and heartwarming

I loved it! A gorgeous book, really well performed. The romance was built up perfectly and I was so invested in Iris and Hunter. A book with a lot of depth and a lot of heart.
