About this listen

Paradise can be hell.

Most people would say being stranded in the villa of Spanish shipping magnate Miguel García Arquero on the beautiful isle of Ibiza wasn't such a bad deal. But Hudson Barber isn't one of them. To him, being stuck without a passport in a foreign country far from home is a nightmare, made worse by the fact that the person who did the stranding was his flighty twin brother.

Unwilling to turn Dalvon in for identity theft, Hudson is forced to wait, but meanwhile he discovers the chance to rehabilitate Miguel's failing local businesses - enterprises left to Dalvon's inexperienced care. The flagging ventures are a badly wrapped gift from heaven, and if Hudson can turn them around, he might be able to leverage the experience to finish his MBA.

Then Miguel returns to Ibiza, and instead of finding a boy toy, he discovers Hudson has turned his cold villa into a warm, welcoming home. Miguel's path is clear: convince Hudson to lay down his defenses and let love in.

I've listened to some by this author before, and it's been hit and miss. Some have been excellent, others very cringey. Given how short this one was, I wasn't expecting much from the story but the premise intrigued me so I went for it.

The lack of depth to the story and generally insipid characters might have been palatable if not read in a robotic monotone. Had this been 7 hours I'd have tapped out at chapter 1. As it was I thought I could suffer through 4 hours.

Which I did, and it definitely wasn't worth the trouble.

Hilariously this is the first time that I've bought an audible book without listening to the sample and that is a lesson hard learned.

A draining 4 hours
