From USA Today bestselling author Sky Corgan comes a sexy new billionaire romance.
I’ve spent my entire adult life avoiding dating, which is funny because I work for a matchmaking service. My boss calls me “The Beast” because of my no B.S. attitude. My job is to scare away problem clients—the unmatchables.
In waltzes Mister Alfred Barnes. He’s stuck up, brazen, and mouthwateringly gorgeous. … mouthwateringly gorgeous. Guys like him think they own the world, but in here I’m in charge. Kicking him out of my office is one of my greatest pleasures…until I find out that he totally lied about his identity.
Someone is going to get fired over this, and it might be me.
Now Mister Barnes is after me. After me in the most unexpected of ways. I’ve never dealt with anyone like him before, and years of therapy tell me that he’s exactly not what I need.
What does my therapist know, though? She has her own secrets, and I’m beginning to think that everyone is out to destroy me. I’m beginning to think that I’m the one who is unmatchable.
This is a standalone novel. No cliffhangers.

Audio Review from 2018
This is the story that is basically a movie in book form.
It’s simply about a man meeting a woman and how they fell in love and lived their life.
There’s some ups and downs to it but that’s life. The book ends on a happy note with a nod to their future instead of the typical happily ever after of marriage and babies having already happened.
Very enjoyable and the narrator (Meghan Kelly) did a great job throwing her voice to tell you who was speaking.
I will happily listen to her again and read the authors other work.
An irascible billionaire “flunks out” of a dating service because he’s too unreliable and arrogant to keep his dates or to stop flirting with other women when he actually shows up for a date. A “beast” of a woman, the feisty manager of Full Hearts Matchmaking Service, is the one who lets him know that their services are no longer available to him. “Alfred” is actually Colton Larsen is actually a billionaire undercover, posing as a client of the company he intends to buy and he’s not averse to making Ember sweat. Ember Washington is a competent, take no prisoners spark plug of a woman and she may be tiny, but she’s a match to anyone who tries to unsettle her. When he buys the company, he’s going to have to fire her but, to keep her, he creates a new position just so she’ll be near him. Ironically, they unknowingly and anonymously find each other on another dating site, that is until Colton recognizes her photo and starts flirting with her. Ember has no idea who she’s dealing with but it soon becomes clear and, to say the very least, she’s shocked! Taking a chance, he convinces her to give him a shot and she reluctantly agrees to a date. Unsurprisingly, they click and nights get steamy. Ember has a terrible past that is rife with parental neglect, addiction and a brother who traded his sister for drugs. She can’t look at another man and imagine that sex would be a good thing. Colton is patient, but there is a limit and they do have their problems. I became upset with Ember because she thought nothing of her own worth and kept pushing Colton away because she wasn’t good enough. Over and over again, until Colton finally believed that she didn’t want him anymore and he walked away. They were both miserable until a person from her past sets Colton straight. It was a difficult path to a happy ending, but they finally found it. The narration is beautifully done by Meghan Kelly. She has an expressive voice that pulls you right into the story with characters that are sharp, clear and individual.
Ember has walls up due to her tragic past. Colton breaks down her walls thru sarcasm and teasing. Taking time slowly , Ember thinks she’s not good enough for him.. This story talks about sexual abuse, drug abuse, and their after effects on family.
Meghan Kelly goes a great job with her narration.audiobookobsessionreviewer
