Summary
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.

Absolutely Fantastic!!
I absolutely loved this audiobook. The story was engaging, the characters felt well rounded and complex, and the descriptive imagery was sublime. There were moments when I actually blushed because I felt like I was right there in the room with Diana and Laurie. I didn't want the book to end.
My only tiny issue was I wish Laurie & Diana had connected on a deeper level. The sex scenes are some of the best I've ever heard, they were incredibly erotic, but I just wanted the leading ladies to have a few moments when they talked more and f*cked less, at least for a couple chapters.
The narrator was exceptional and highlighted the different characters with distinct voices. She enhanced the story perfectly. Also, I love Southern USA accents and her accent for Laurie was divine. It did things to me.
This is the first Roslyn Sinclair book I've ever encountered, but it will most definitely won't be my last.
Regardless of my mini gripe, I highly recommend this book and will most definitely listen to it again.

the book you didn't know you need
Absolutely loved this book. I've fallen into the trap of listening to collections of erotic fiction on here, and have been disappointed. Shoddy writing (AI?) And poor narration
This is very very different. Characters I care about, and superb narration. And absolutely horny as hell. Took me 2 days to listen. Immediately purchased more credits so I could get more from this author. Yes it's erotic fiction, but it's superbly written and, whilst being exactly that, erotic, it loses nothing in it's writing, or narration. Worth every credit.

Entertaining for sure! 🔥😍
Enjoyed this storyline, the spice level was through the roof! 🔞🥵
Loved the care and support the characters showed around coming out and sexuality.
The strong southern accent pulled me out of the story initially, but gradually grew on me as the character developed.
A great listen! 👍🏿👍🏿

Underrated gem
One of the best les-fic books out there. Hot, sweet, sexy and touching. Classic ice queen trope done very very well. Don’t see this book on many of the top lesbian fiction lists knocking about but imo it’s up there. Narration excellent.

Some more of the same please!
I enjoyed this so much it was difficult for me to leave it be. The characters pulled me in. I loved being part of this journey. Excellent writing from a wonderful Author.
Abby, I can't find any other voice/narrator, that is so capable of making each character so individual. You are so skilled in your craft and an absolute must in my book.

A study in desire
I genuinely didn’t want this book to end. I enjoyed it from the first to last word. It’s not for the prudish or faint-hearted, but if you like strong characters, age gap romance, ice queens and a witty narrative you will love The X Ingredient! Oh and there’s quite a bit of hot sex!
The story is told from the point of view of both main characters, Laurie and Diana and is narrated brilliantly by Anastasia Watley. I will definitely be checking out her other work and that of Roslyn Sinclair.

Too much office sex
This is the first time I have listened to this author and I was impressed. I really enjoyed the story and it was well written and the narration was great, she did a good job at getting into character and the voices were different for the individual characters. I will be keeping an eye out for this author and narrator in the future.
The only thing I would say is and this is for me personally, the story has too much sex in it. I felt like instead of having all them sex scenes, you could have had more of Laurie and Diana getting to know each other and finding out more about each other, rather than just in a sexual way and more of a personal and emotional way. I feel by doing this it would of made them have more of a connection and the sex scenes would have been less, which would have made the sex scenes that more special and confirmed their attraction while getting to know each other.
The story had both characters point of view, so one chapter it would be Laurie's point of view then the next chapter it would be Diana's. I always enjoy when a story does this.
