A new standalone novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author, Vi Keeland.

The night I met Drew Jagger, he’d just broken into my new Park Avenue office.

I dialed 9-1-1 before proceeding to attack him with my fancy new Krav Maga skills.

He quickly restrained me, then chuckled, finding my attempted assault amusing.

Of course, my intruder had to be arrogant.

Only, turned out, he wasn’t an intruder at all.

Drew was the rightful occupant of my new office. He’d been on vacation while his posh space was renovated.

Which was how a scammer got away with leasing me office space that wasn’t really available for rent.

I was swindled out of ten grand.

The next day, after hours at the police station, Drew took pity on me and made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. In exchange for answering his phones while his secretary was out, he’d let me stay until I found a new place.

I probably should have acted grateful and kept my mouth shut when I overheard the advice he was spewing to his clients. But I couldn’t help giving him a piece of my mind.

I never expected my body to react every time we argued. Especially when that was all we seemed to be able to do.

The two of us were complete opposites. Drew was a bitter, angry, gorgeous-as-all-hell, destroyer of relationships. And my job was to help people save their marriages.

The only thing the two of us had in common was the space we were sharing.

And an attraction that was getting harder to deny by the day.

A very entertaining listen...

I have to say, getting the right narrator for the job makes an awesome story into an even better listen. I know I can count on Vi Keeland to produce the goods when it comes to entertaining reads and she did not let me down when it came to Egomaniac. The title pretty much gives away what sort of hero we would be getting, but honestly, Drew is so much more.

Even though there is a wee bit of drama, I couldn't help but find this an easy and entertaining listen. You're completely distracted by their woes because the author manages to keep it pretty upbeat most of the time. I think you know deep down that their stumbling blocks are just that and whatever obstacle they face, this couple will rally together to overcome their problems.

Drew and Emerie have a very funny first meeting and Drew does not disappoint in acting like the Egomaniac that he is. I will even admit to finding him a little unappealing at first. Actually, I take that back. I found Drew VERY appealing...for fling material and didn't really see him having "staying" power when it comes to relationships. As time goes on though, he does the one thing that will always win me over...he becomes possessive and even a little territorial. I love that in my romance reads and Drew wears green very well.

The narrators do a fabulous job and I found them very easy to listen to together. A good audio makes you feel like the two narrators are sitting in a room, acting it out, and almost living it. Both Andi Arndt and Joe Arden had me convinced they're best friends and have known each other for years. SUCCESS!!

Thank you Vi Keeland for making my trip to work a wee bit more exciting and leaving me with a big goofy grin.
