    About this audiobook

    Sometimes you can’t change—and sometimes you just don’t want to. Read Ben’s side of the Ten Tiny Breaths story in this romantic coming of age novel by the beloved, top-selling indie author praised for her “likeable characters, steamy liaisons, and surprising plot twists” (Kirkus Reviews).

    Purple-haired, sharp-tongued Reese MacKay knows all about making the wrong choice; she’s made plenty of them in her twenty-odd-years. So when her impulsive, short-lived marriage ends in heartbreak, she decides it’s time for a change. She moves to Miami with the intention of hitting reset on her irresponsible life, and she does quite well…aside from an epically humiliating one-night stand in Cancun with a hot blond bouncer named Ben. Thank God she can get on a plane and leave that mistake behind her.

    Football scholarship and frat parties with hot chicks? Part of charmer Ben Morris’s plan. Blown knee that kills any hope of a professional football career? So not part of the plan. Luckily Ben has brains to go with his knockout looks and magnetism. After three long years of balancing law school with his job as a bouncer at Penny’s Palace, he’s ready to lead a more mature life—until his first day of work, when he finds himself in the office of that crazy, hot chick he met in Cancun. The one he hasn’t stopped thinking about.

    If Ben truly were a smart guy, he’d stay clear of Reese. She’s the boss’s stepdaughter and it’s been made very clear that office romances are grounds for dismissal. Plus, rumor has it she’s trouble. The only problem is, he likes trouble, especially when it’s so good-looking…

      Loved it. Just like the other books in the series, the action doesn't dull out, it is entertaining and easy to listen to.
    • 5/5
      Such a good story. Loved that there was no insta-love, and the narrators did a great job. There weren’t any unanswered questions at the end, and I found myself laughing out loud at Reese’s antics and the sweet flirty banter between Reese and Ben.
    • 4/5
      Loved the characters! I enjoyed this book way more than I expected to! It had me hooked from the start!
    • 5/5
      Loved everything about this book! Laughed out loud more than once.
    • 5/5
      I really enjoyed this series! Not the biggest fan Ben’s audiobook voice but other than that, such a great book and all around series.
    • 4/5
      I really enjoyed it, maybe I was like I would handle a few situations differently I can understand the way Reece handled them
    • 5/5
      I didn't think I'd love this books this much
      Tho Ben is an asshole but at least he it is honest about it.
      I want more of these characters can't say it enough.
      I still wanna know if Kacey and Trent went to Vegas....

      After her failed marriage, Reese McKay takes a trip to Cancun with her friends as a distraction. There, she meets a charming bouncer named Ben. After an embarrassing one-night stand, she flies home and tries to put the past behind her. That is until Ben walks into her step-dads law firm, the newest hired staff member. As time goes on and their attraction to each other continues, they need to keep their growing relationship a secret or risk losing their jobs.
      I devoured this book in one day. It is so light-hearted and fun but also touches on some tough subjects such as family dynamics. I liked the dual POV between Reese and Ben. Reese is extremely feisty and witty but has such a big heart. She also has purple hair so OBVIOUSLY, I have a special place for her in my heart. I loved the banter between her and Ben. I found myself giggling at many of the situations the two found themselves in. I liked Ben's chapters significantly less than Reese's as they were mostly just describing how hot Reese and her body were - it got old very quickly. But, I still enjoyed him as a character once I got past the obnoxious commentary every couple of sentences. One of my favorite tropes is friends to Lover so I instantly fell for this couple. The slow build of their relationship got me right in the feels and I couldn't help rooting for them both. It was amazing watching them grow apart but also together. I also love the fake girlfriend/boyfriend trope so I WAS HERE FOR IT.
      Overall, very cute and I recommend it if you're looking for a quick, fun romance!
    • 2/5
      I can't get past the male narrator's voice; only made it to chapter 4. He just doesn't fit with the character's description AT ALL.
