Didn't light a spark
I think the author has a "voice" worth being heard and would read/listen to another of her books. However I think this book would have been better with fewer subplots, there were just too many. The story would have been improved if she had concentrated more on Jules and Lexa's relationship and made the arsonist story more compelling. I also thought the narrator detracted from the book because I did not like how she portrayed Jules.
I received this audio in exchange for an honest review.

Not for me
I'm sorry I just cant with this book. There is basically nothing I liked about it. This was a short read and I am usually ok with instalove in a short book but nothing about this couple worked for me. They were together for literally like a hour and the hero is talking about the heroine being his girlfriend. She doesn't even live in the same city. The whole romance was just too much. The BDSM elements did not work for me. Jules being a dominant didn't work for me. I think this book tried to put too much in a short story. There was nothing I liked about Jules. I couldn't tell if he wanted a girlfriend or a pet because all he did was basically boss Lexa around and get mad when she didn't do what he thought she should do. I feel like this story could have been better because it had the bones to it. The writing wasn't bad, just the elements of the story were. I would be willing to read another book from this author but I would not recommend this book to anyone. 1 star for the story.
I listened to the audio book and the narrator was ok. I really didn't really like any of the male characters but she did really well with the females. I would be also willing to listen to another book from the narrator as long as they characters don't have a NY accent. 2.5 stars for that narration.

Sexy but unbelievable and slightly lacking
Honestly, I struggled to finish listening to this book. I found it really hard to accept the rapid development of the relationship between Jules and Lexa Mae. I understand there was an instant attraction but still felt the relationship reached a level of intimacy much before a true level of trust had been established. As a result, this really affected the way I experienced the rest of the book. Also, despite Jules overly dominant nature, I found that he lacked confidence in himself, Lexa Mae and the growing intimacy between them.
