Publisher's summary

Even for a top-gun banker, temptation this hot is quite a gamble in a sexy Wall Street romp from New York Times best-selling author Lauren Layne.

An alpha among the wolves of Wall Street, Kennedy Dawson rose to the top of the pack by striking the right contracts at the right times. But there's one deal that's been giving him a run for his money - a pact to never again let his assistant, Kate, get under his skin. She may be smart, gorgeous, and sharp as a whip, but she's definitely off-limits.

Kate Henley isn't a banker, but she knows a thing or two about risk management - specifically, about managing her attraction to her smolderingly sexy boss. She already fell once, and Kennedy showed no sign of paying a return on her investment. So when Kennedy's brother starts pursuing her, Kate figures she has the best of both worlds. Jack is charming, rich, very attentive, and the spitting image of his older brother.

It's also making Kennedy think twice. But to win Kate's heart, he'll have to broker the deal of a lifetime...and prove he's worth the risk.

Awesome book, why in 3rd person thought?!

I've been stalking this series for the final book for months, waiting to hear Kennedy and kate's story. The only disappointment was it being in 3rd person. Why do authors still do this ? lol. Only reason why I kept the book is because of the awesome performance Zachary Webber gives and I actually liked the story.

Huge Deal

I was waiting for Kennedy and Kate’s story. Sadly, I didn’t care for it. I’m not sure why the author decided that this book should be in 3rd person. I couldn’t get into it at all.
Samantha Cook and Zachary Webber are amazing but not even their beautiful voices could help the fact that this hook was in 3rd person.

Best Narrator

Zachary Webber shines...as always. I’ve been waiting a long time to read Kat’s and Kennedy’s story. I enjoyed it very much.

Third Person Narration

After the first two books in the series were written in first person, the third one was written in third person which I did not appreciate. Besides that, the story was very sweet and I liked it.

Kate & Kennedy at last!

I have been waiting for Kennedy and Kate’s story from the start! These two have been circling each other forever and I couldn’t wait for Kennedy to finally see what’s been in front of him the entire time. The pining and longing hurt my heart, and these enemies-ish to friends to idiots to lovers really made us work for it. LOL

Things were moving along pretty well, but the abrupt 180's by each character were too jarring. Kate's reaction to her family tragedy felt so out of character. I also wish it hadn't taken Kennedy's brother entering the picture to make him realize his feelings for Kate. I didn't love the 3rd act conflict and though it resolved fairly quickly, I never felt like Kennedy gave Kate the epic all in love that she wanted (and deserved). The epilogue was sweet though and I loved seeing the previous couples happy and in love. The bachelor/bachelorette party was hilarious! I'm happy that they all found their happily ever afters, but I'm sad the series is over.

I both read and listened to the audiobook of Huge Deal. Both Samantha Cook and Zachary Webber were wonderful again, but like I mentioned in my review of the last book, it was a little odd since they've voiced all of the couples in the series. It would have been more enjoyable if different narrators had been used for each book.

Audiobook Review
Overall 4 stars
Performance 5 stars
Story 3.5 stars

Note: I was a little thrown that the book was written in the 3rd person (unlike the previous 2), but that didn't stop me from enjoying the book.

Loved this book

This was a very sweet story. It had just the right amount of romance and great sex. I could listen to it again and I never do that.

Annoying Couple

Not as good as the other two. Female(Kate) is immature ... Wasn’t as believable and female went from love struck to b$&@“.

Once again, Zachary Webber steals the show, however, I have to agree with a lot the other reviews in that I hate that it was switched to 3rd person POV. I feel that with Kennedy, out of all three men, I wanted to really get inside his head and that opportunity was unfortunately not given to us.

Good Start. Terrible finish.

Ok. Was this written by two different people? Because I got whiplash from part 1 to part 2. Part 2 was terrible. The way Kate turned out was not great. I’m also not a fan of super strong whiny angst in romance. Also the end was just anticlimactic. Sigh.
