    The X Ingredient

    Written by Roslyn Sinclair

    About this audiobook

    Laurie Holcombe is out of a job, out of luck, and out of time. When a prestigious law firm hires her as an assistant to one of its senior partners, it feels like she might finally get back on her feet. All she has to do is put up with the whims of her infuriatingly icy boss, Diana. How hard could that be?



    Diana Parker is Atlanta's top lawyer and isn't afraid to let everyone know it. She's driven, ruthless, demanding, and stuck in a failing marriage. Too bad she can't run her personal life as well as she runs her ordered office.



    When a young assistant shows up with bright blue eyes, a cute Southern accent, and a streak of pink hair, Diana's sure she's all wrong for the job. And yet something seems to be pulling her and Laurie Holcombe together, drawing them into a secret, thrilling dance that's far too dangerous for a boss and employee.



    Can they make rules for this powerful attraction, a way to keep each other at arm's length? But how do you resist the irresistible?



    Contains mature themes.

    What our readers think

    Readers find this title to be an amazing journey, full of intense emotions and passion. The writing, narration, and characters are all excellent. The southern accent in the narration may be offputting to some, but it is quickly overlooked. The book is described as hot, with exceptional sex scenes. The narrator brings the characters to life and the story is filled with heat and humor. Overall, this book is a terrific combination of spice and excellent storytelling.

      The narrator did an amazing job bringing the characters to life. The southern accent is a bit offputting at times, but you get over it quickly. I have to admit, I have indulged in this book multiple times! It ends and I begin again. Like Diana, I just want more and more! Its intoxicating and passionate! The sex scenes are hot!!!! Very well done indeed! Anastasia Watley did an excellent job narrating!

      Holy smoking hot story with fabulous writing, characters, and narration. I was on the fence about the Southern accent, but I’m so glad I kept listening. Highly recommended.
