   None No current Talk conversations about this book.  Okies | Nov 15, 2023 |   The story started a little cliche for me but as the story progressed, I found myself liking the characters as their friendship evolved. I was not expecting the twist and I wasn't expecting the other one at the very end. Now, I'm all in to see how this is resolved. (  ) MagicalRi | Feb 24, 2022 | Rush Duet , Book 1 I Picked Up This Book Because: #Barbsbookopoly roll 3. “?” Which means members of the group pick for me but I picked for myself The Characters: Gia Mirabelli: Rush: The Story: I loved the chemistry between Gia and Rush. I like that Rush tried to fight it but we all knew he wasn’t going to make it. This was an entertaining way to spend a few hours. Oh and the ending! I’m so glad I had the second book on deck. The Random Thoughts: 4 Stars ( ) bookjunkie57 | Jun 10, 2020 |  ) Kellylynn22 | Mar 24, 2019 | Already wasn't sure about this book due to certain reviews I read.. but I normally love these authors, so I gave it a try anyway. But... yeah... no. I'm just going to toss this one aside as a book that is definitely not for me. Nothing about the story or the characters appeals to me. Knowing what's to come doesn't help either. So.. it's a shame.. but oh well. I hope their next book will be more my speed. By all means give it a try for yourself. There are many positive reviews.

From New York Times Bestselling authors Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward comes the first book in a new, sexy duet. How to kick off a great summer in the Hamptons: Snag a gorgeous rental on the beach. Check. Get a job at a trendy summer haunt. Check. How to screw up a great summer in the Hamptons: Fall for the one guy with a dark leather jacket, scruff on his face, and intense eyes that don't fit in with the rest of the tony looking crowd. A guy you can't have when you'll be leaving at the end of the season. Check. Check. Check. I should add, especially when the guy is your sexy, tattooed God of a boss. Especially when he not only owns your place of employment but inherited half of the town. Especially when he's mean to you. Or so I thought. Until one night when he demanded I get in his car so he could drive me home because he didn't want me walking in the dark. That was sort of how it all started with Rush. And then little by little, some of the walls of this hardass man started to come down. I never expected that the two of us, seemingly opposites from the outside, would grow so close. I wasn't supposed to fall for the rebel heir, especially when he made it clear he didn't want to cross the line with me. As the temperature turned cooler, the nights became hotter. My summer became a lot more interesting and complicated. All good things must come to an end, right? Except our ending was one I didn't see coming. No library descriptions found. |

Rush is quite the character - a jerk but entertaining - and perfectly played by Sebastian York. Gia is gorgeous and herself, so she's not bad either. As a romantic heroine, she makes it known up front that she doesn't do one night stands. So the two become friends.
Hearing Sebastian York again reminded me that one of the very first contemporary romance novels I consumed - because it was a freebie-of-the-day on Audible, was Penelope Ward's Gentleman No 9. Even though I was stunned by the novel, I didn't take up the romance genre as a hobby til years after.
Gia was read by Maxine Mitchell whose voice was also familiar. Even though she's brilliant in the way she inhabits the character, she has one of those voices that has a kind of breathless anxiety that I don't particularly like. It's a distinctive enough narration tic that all her characters sound like the same character, which I dislike even more. (
