About this listen

Conor McGrady: An invite from my college roommate has me back stateside a few weeks before I’m set to start training for the next marathon on my team’s schedule. As a professional marathon runner with commitments to the local Irish businesses sponsoring me, the timing was fortuitous. When Tommy Hark introduces me to a friend of a friend, sparks fly. My attempt at my first one-night stand fails epically when I give Ginny my contact info and insist we keep chatting for as long as this stays fun.

Virginia Tobias: Long-distance relationships never work. That’s why this thing I’ve got going on with Sean McGrady isn’t a relationship. No. It’s fun and sexy and uncomplicated. So what if he invites me to spend a week with him in a cabin. On a lake. In the middle-of-nowhere, Minnesota. I can totally handle seven days of frenzied, passionate, “not exactly labeled” sex that has a definite end date. I am a progressive woman, after all.

Seven days. Countless positions and one very arousing catchphrase. Then he heads back to Ireland and I’m off to a new job in Washington. Simple. Easy. Fun. That’s all. That is all, right?

Ginny and Connor meet at mutual friends’ wedding and hit it off immediately. Even though they have a connection, they’re both on different paths, with Ginny about to move back to her hometown, and Connor going back to racing within the week. So, they have a one night stand intending to never see each other again. Their connection is so strong, however, so Connor invites Ginny to spend the week with him at his cabin before he leaves, and she has to move. Whilst at his cabin, they explore and experiment with a D/S relationship.

I’m soo sad that this did not work for me as much as the author’s other books did. 😭 I just did not connect that much with Connor or Ginny, or their story. Overall though, it wasn’t all that bad (I still gave it 3 stars after all 😜), and if you’re looking for a relatively short romance book/novella about D/S dynamic, with a one night stand trope included, I’d recommend this.

The narrator, Paxton Hite, also did good. His Irish accent especially, was great (although I’m not Irish so I’m not sure my opinion is worth much lol). And, he was good at bringing the story to life.

Quick, easy read novella!

His accent is everything. Conor is in the states enjoying some time right before he starts training for his next marathon. When he sees Ginny, he is smitten and with charm, he woos her into a one night stand. But he can't just leave it there. Ginny loves to listen to him speak, and with the Irish brogue, she knows this is fun, not a relationship. When he asks her to go to a cabin for a week of pleasure, she takes him up on it. And what happens next? Well, I can't give all the details, but it's spicy, and it's sweet. A quick look into dom/sub relationship, the heat raises and passion is real. The question is when the week is up, will they find a future together? I enjoyed this one. Not the typical Rosie P Burke I am used to, this shows her versatility as an author. I loved it!

Paxton Hite is the narrator, taking the role of both Conor and Ginny. His Irish brogue is spot on and he easily transitions to Ginny. He brings out the feels, the heat and love. He is new to me, and I enjoyed his performance.

Spice and Love!

Enjoyed this story. Different to the others as the relationship between the main characters is not just a straight forward lovers but a sub/dom. I did like this that this story connected two series of sports romance by the author.

Good
