Skye Morrison has a lot in common with today’s college graduates; she’s neck-deep in student loan debt and desperate for a job. For four years, the nightlife of Austin, Texas (home of Skye’s Alma Mater) has satiated her thirst for good music, a revamp in fashion and men – especially local musician, Jameson Doyle, but her spot as a waitress at Drop Kick Dan’s bar wasn’t going to cut the slack. A personal life troubled by a hounding ex only made matters worse. Skye was never the damsel in distress type, but when an unexpected public shouting match with her ex turned physical, a savior disguised as a heavenly gorgeous Irishman came to her rescue. Archer Rhys, a businessman with a lot to offer, doesn’t exactly sweep Skye off her feet but she couldn’t help but to be captivated by his ravenous good looks. When Archer makes Skye a lucrative job offer as his personal assistant for his new downtown Austin club, The Mausoleum, she quickly finds out that she may have gotten more than she bargained for.

Review
I was given a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
I've heard good things about this book from a couple of platypires. One in particular is a huge fan of the author, J.L. McCoym so I sprung at the chance to get to review it.
The story was pretty captivating, so I understood her feelings toward it. I had a hard time turning off my audible app, but the story is not kid-friendly, and I'm around children for a good portion of the day.
Aris, the narrator, was pretty good as well. Better as the story progressed. Toward the beginning she was a little rushed. That was quickly overshadowed by her ability to do multiple accents, and keep the characters separated pretty well. I was impressed by her.
As for the story itself, there were parts that Aris helped counter with her narration. There is a lot of redundancy that took me out of the story multiple times. There's also a love triangle more toward the beginning that bothered me, but I was glad at how quickly it was resolved.
The story ends on one hell of a cliffhanger. There's ending a story in anticipation for something, which I can appreciate. Then there's cutting a story mid dialogue. That was more than a little annoying.
