Story
A brilliant surgeon. A master sculptor. The media touted Dr. Potter as a savior dressed in a crisp suit. I think he’s a vicious madman of jerk-sized proportions. But fate is a wicked tease. Only Dr. Potter can give me what I need. A fresh start. A new identity. But he refused, leaving me to take matters into my own hands by accepting a job as his partner’s new secretary. Dr. Potter can’t turn down my case forever. Or at least I thought so until I uncovered Dr. Potter’s secret. A secret, which came with a venomous warning...one that destroyed everything.

Story
I was a small-town girl with big city dreams and more ambition than money to my name. He had everything—money, privilege, and the world at his feet. Opposites in every way, but that didn’t matter. We were lightning in a bottle, and everything felt possible when we were together. Life was perfect.

Story
I wasn’t looking for love. Putting down roots in this small, Southern town was the last thing on my mind. Ben changed all that with his kind nature and gentle ways. Somehow, he painted over the cracks on the canvas of my heart. Never did I feel more alive than with my arms around his waist on the back of his motorcycle and my hair blowing in the wind. But I was a nobody. To his family of wealth and privilege, I wasn’t worthy of him. And they were willing to do whatever it took to drive us apart.

The day I showed up to Dax Moody’s sprawling home, I had no idea what was coming. As a traveling massage therapist, I was used to entering the houses of strangers. But this assignment was different from any before it. From the outside, I’d correctly assumed the owner was rich. What I didn’t realize was that he would be younger than I’d imagined, single, stunningly gorgeous, and mysterious.

Billionaire heir who abides by no rules, bucks convention, and is determined to complete one final project to honor his late father’s legacy. Luckily, and unluckily for me, I’m tasked to help.

Raise your hand if you’ve ever done this. Written a racy message and sent it to—oops—the wrong person. Yeah, me too. Except, I sent my latest Tales of a Naughty Virgin column detailing my fantasies about my hot, charming, thoroughly bangable next-door-neighbor to…my entire company. Did I mention I’m a children’s book editor? Well, I was. *Facepalm.* At least the column goes viral, but I’m still the gal who gets fired for her not-safe-for-work thoughts about the so-called “Mister Sexy Pants”.

In one second, my life disappeared. My past. My memories. My future. The only certainty I have from the last three years is that my older brother is dead and that I am the only eyewitness. In order to protect the case, the lawyers demand no one give me any information about my life...I must remember on my own. My only help comes from my brother’s best friend and world-renowned investigative reporter Spencer Cross. He has no idea how many nights I’ve spent dreaming of his name—and his body—next to mine. Each day we spend together, I find it harder to want my old life back.

Never did I think it would lead me straight into the arms of a serial killer. When the magazine I worked for sent me to write a piece on The Elysian, and the recluse architect who created it, I didn’t know what to expect. It certainly wasn’t him. He was supposed to be cold and cruel, but to me, he was Intoxicating. Magnetic. And impossible to quit. The deeper I fell, the harder it became to ignore a voice inside my head telling me that death followed Cain. I wanted to be wrong. Maybe it was all in my head. But I needed to find the answers. Nothing prepared me for what I found….

Thanks to a stipulation in my dad’s will, she’s back and we have to live together. Me. Her. My brother Walker, who has carried a torch for her since they were kids. And, how could I forget, Bishop, the ranch hand who can’t keep his eyes off her?

The most beautiful man I've ever seen is the same one who can ruin everything. The first time I lay eyes on Callan Walker, I know he'll be trouble. With his smug grin, hot Aussie accent, and thousand-dollar shoes, he's just the kind of rich guy who always gets what he wants. And he wants two things: a night of sin, and my cooperation as he outmaneuvers his powerful mother to take control of his uncle's estate. I can't afford either one. I'm the only thing standing between my little sister and the foster care system.

He calls himself Spider. I just knew him as the sinfully gorgeous guy with eyes of fire that fate sat next to me on the airplane. I didn’t know who he really was...British rock star...my stepbrother. He kissed me because he thought we’d never see each other again. We would. Everyone warned me about him. They told me he was ruthless and cold and screwed up. They said he’d leave me with a hole in my heart. Maybe I should have listened. Maybe I should have built up a fortress to keep him out. But I crumbled instead.

Enemies turn to lovers in this bad boy billionaire romance with a twist. I had a plan. Finish law school. Start a job. Stay away from men like Brandon Sterling. Cocky, overbearing, and richer than the Earth, he thinks the world belongs to him, and that includes me. Yeah, no. Think again. It doesn't matter that his blue eyes look straight into my soul, or that his touch melts my icy reserve. It doesn't even matter that past all that swagger, there's a beautiful, damaged man who has so much to offer beyond private planes and jewelry boxes. But I had a plan: no falling in love.

No Plot
I felt like the story, if there was one, was hidden under unnecessary verbiage including but not limited to constant food, clothing, makeup, drinks, cars, you-name-it in depth descriptions. Add to that the female lead, Cress. is insufferable. She is 46 years old going on 12. Her personality consists of spewing out detailed facts about any and everything. Her idea of love is kissing for hours (seriously!) until Max’s and her lips are so swollen they fall asleep. Nothing more! Poor Max.
Max, on the other hand, is a sweetheart but he, too, is a 40 year old going on 12. How he was ever a MI6 agent is beyond me.
The only good part of this audiobook is Jason Clarke. Sorry, Emma. Your sing song delivery is so grating. Good job on your side characters, though.
Needless to say, I don’t care to buy the next book because I could not care less what happens to them.

A Second Chance Twenty Years in the Making
I listened to this audiobook and was pulled in immediately by Jason Clarke's and Emma Wilder's excellent narration. Mr. Clarke's Scottish brogue and the various other accents are spot-on and truly bring the characters to life. Ms. Wilder is equally as talented at bringing Cress to life and showcasing her emotional highs and lows. I immediately dove into the next book in the series, At the Crossroads. I highly recommend this book and audiobook.
I absolutely loved this story. Cress and Max are a unique couple. She's a historical romance author whose past has caused her to keep her inner circle small, and Max is a former MI6 operative whose previous career causes him to keep secrets. A chance encounter brings the couple together but apparently they had a previous encounter twenty years prior and both characters wondered what if.
Max's memory of their encounter is ingrained in his soul and Cress was forever the one who got away. Her memory of the encounter is clouded by the behavior of Max's companion but she wistfully watched him around Oxford.
Cress is a very successful, independent woman, who has high walls built up around her heart. People, except for her two very closest friends, have always hurt her and let her down, so Max has his work cut out for him. When a stalker and allegations of plagiarism put Cress in danger, it's fortunate Max works for a security firm.
The story that follows is a well-written, slow burn, second-chance romance with elements of danger and suspense. Ms. Michalove delves into the web of emotions and the secrets each character harbor that threaten to derail the budding relationship. While Cress's family is a train wreck, Max's big Scottish family is tight-knit and boisterous. Secrets are revealed, emotions are laid bare, danger lurks but justice wins out and the couple end up together in a satisfying HEA.

Suspense with awesome narration
3 stars for the book, 5 stars for the audio performance.
The premise of this book was very exciting but it unfortunately didn’t work for me. There was so much detail given to some elements, like describing the cars driven by Max; but ultimately, I had a hard time connecting to the characters. I never understood why Max didn’t immediately step in when the threat against Cress was apparent and why Cress was so unsupported as a best-selling author.
While I have reservations with the storyline, the audiobook narration was stellar with Jason Clarke and Emma Wilder voicing the characters. There were lots of accent work and English and French accents were French kiss!

Romantic Suspense
Sharon Michalove is a new-to-me author. She opens with a quote from a Penny Reid book, so I was instantly drawn in. This audiobook has an intriguing hook, captivating suspense, and complex characters. The trope and narrators were a huge draw for me with this book. I love Emma Wilder and Jason Clarke. I found the story lagged a bit at times in the middle, but I enjoyed it overall. I’m inclined to think some of the lag was due to the author world-building since this is a new series started. Emma and Jason were phenomenal. I’m intrigued to see what book 2 in this series brings!

Suspense heavy, spice light…but you don’t miss it
**I was given an listener copy in exchange for this honest review**
This was my first Sharon Michalove novel so I was interested in becoming adsorbed in a new author's universe in this romantic suspense novel. This book is kind of like an ode to the 'Missed Connections' section of Craig's List in the best way.
Dr. Cress Taylor stumbles into retired MI6 spy Max Grant exactly twice in her life. This first time with her bicycle around Oxford and she's desperate to leave and not live in her perceived slight and the other is just a bit of bad luck and a pair of too slick stilettoes at a fancy restaurant 20 years later. But what she doesn't know is that former run in left a much larger impact on Max's life than it did hers.
This love story is set to the backdrop of Cress's latest acclaimed book release that is bringing death threats in it's wake. Max is now working for Global Security Unlimited with his mates and can't bring himself to leave Cress along, or unguarded.
Sharon weaves suspense with a more obvious 'who dunnit' with the internal turmoil of a woman in her 40's who has been dealt a bad hand at love and keeps everyone except her inner circle MUCH farther than arm's length.
Emma Wilder and Jason Clarke brought this story to life beautifully carrying multiple accents and character arcs in a compelling way that keeps you engaged. While light on spice, this book delivers on a really great Happily Ever After

Great romantic suspense
A thrilling, slow burn filled with thrilling suspense. Cress and Max find themselves together again after a chance meeting twenty years prior. I loved that these two characters were older and loved getting to see these two heal together from their past traumas. The story was interesting and kept me guessing. I loved all the corny jokes that Max told it was a great comedic relief to the story.
The narration was wonderful. Emma Wilder and Jason Clarke did amazing with this story, portraying the characters emotions and making you feel the story. These two also do an amazing job with the accents. This was my first book by Sharon and enjoyed it and can’t wait to check out more from her.

Wonderful debut from Sharon Michalove!
How do I even go about describing the feelings this book gave me? It wasn't like any kind of story that I have ever read before. It took me awhile to really connect with Cress and Max, but I don't think it was because they were unlikeable. I think it was because they had both been through so much in their past. Fears of what this new relationship could be for both scared them because of the intense feelings they were both having.
For Max this was his second chance. A second chance to get the girl he has dreamed about for two decades to see him and want him as he has her. As a former MI6 operative Max never had the chance for relationships. After the choices he made and the things he saw with his job he might finally be in a place to have a relationship but getting Cress to let down her ice walls won't be easy.
Cressida Taylor has made the quite career for herself as a successful writer. When allegations of plagiarism arise, and her life starts to be threatened then Max shows up at a book signing all signs point to something nefarious going on. Cress doesn't know if she should let herself fall for Max or if she should run the other way.
If you love Jason Clarke and accents, then you are going to want to do the narration. We got some many delicious versions of Jason Clarke my ears were in accent heaven. The same goes for Emma Wilder. I don't think I have heard her do so many accents before and I was entirely captivated when she spoke French. I highly suggest the audio for this story because it really took it to the next level.
Max and Cressida's relationship is a whirlwind of past trauma, threats and so many twists and turns there won't be a moment you aren't entirely enthralled by this book. While this was a very slow burn, I didn't mind it all. There wasn't a moment where I felt like I was missing something because the progression of their relationship felt natural. With both of their histories it would have seemed forced if things started moving faster than necessary.
Looking forward to book two where we will get to see what new things are going on Cressida and Max's life as well as what happens when Max's past starts to catch up with him.

Touching story with fantastic narration!
At First Sight is a complex story of love and healing for damaged people struggling to let go of past hurt & embrace future happiness. This is a slow burn and there is a lot they both need to work through. Max never forgot the beautiful woman on the bicycle who ran him over 20 years ago, so when he sees her again he can’t pass up the chance to pursue what could be - while fighting his own demons. Cressida is a successful writer who has an extremely small circle by design. She is a bit paranoid about his motives but can’t seem to scare him off. I liked how they were both fighting with themselves and still moved forward - albeit slowly. When she is being threatened Max is in a perfect position to help her, so they both focus on that part and the relationship and trust develop quite by accident. This is my first book by this Author, but I will definitely listen to more. She introduced some great side characters that may get their own books, and I want to see what happens with them in book 2 and beyond.
Sharon Michalove also picked FANTASTIC narrators, which is why I chose this book in the first place. If you are a fan of accent work Jason and Emma both delivered absolute deliciousness in French. They really brought all of them to life and I love how both of them are able to flawlessly switch between characters of different ages, accents, genders, etc. without losing the story. I’m so glad they were chosen for this book and really loved the story all that much more with the energy and depth added by narration by these 2 amazing actors!

Jason and Emma knocked it out of the park!!
This is a second chance story about Cress and Max. After a brief run in (literally) run in back in their school days at Oxford, Max finds it love at first sight. fast forward 20 some years late and they run into each other (LITERALLY) again. Now, Cress is a popular, award winning writer that someone has it out for. After receiving multiple threats and accusations of plagiarism, she is voluntold to get security from none other then Max. Max is a retired MI6 agent who is also struggling with his own ghosts haunting him. They both seem to want to put their past and present issues behind them and start their own lives together.
By the sound of this book, I really wanted to like it a lot. I think there were a lot of good starting story lines, but towards the middle everything got a little tangled and messy to me. There are also A LOT of references to artists, musicians and authors that I feel not a lot of people would know off the top of their head. I found myself pausing and looking up a lot of the references before continuing because I am a visual person. Plus the characters had this weird, fast slow fast slow fast slow kind of romance to them. I do not read a lot of suspense romance books, while this was far more suspense then romance. I was hoping her stalker would not have been discovered till later and there would be this tension the whole time, but they kind of came out and said it about a third of the way through the book. They just came out and admitted it was them. Like I said, it had a lot of potential but I think definitely could have been adjusted better.
Emma and Jason were really the saving grace for me for this audio. Not only was Jason British the entire time (he really should have all the Brit rolls in my opinion haha) there were at least about a dozen other accents and he did them all so beautifully. Emma, as always was just amazing, she really made this sort of meh character on paper come to life in the audio. The way she would play off the nervousness and kind of frazzeld scenes was just fantastic. Plus them both reading in Italian *swoons*. If you are a big fan of both of them (like I am) I would recommend it just to listen to all the amazing accent work.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
