He was supposed to be my forever love. Instead, he became my personal hell....

I wasn’t supposed to be on the beach that night.
Neither was Declan Beauchamp, the super-hot, super-bad-boy upcoming actor.
He saved me from being hurt.
But his life changed forever.

I never thought I’d see him again.
Until he returns and offers me the chance to embrace my dreams.
Now, I'm a singer with a break-out single.
Together, we’re a match-made-in-tabloid heaven.
Then, he betrays me.

Shattered, I put him behind and move on.
I even have a new boyfriend.
Except my career is in freefall.
The only consolation?
Declan isn’t faring better either.

With my future and his at stake, Declan comes up with a plan.
One movie together, and a fake relationship to catapult our futures back on track.

But when our chemistry detonates, how will I survive this encounter?

A standalone, enemies to lovers, fake relationship billionaire romance about mistakes, heartache, and second chances.

When I started listening to this, folks told me it's full of all the intense angst. Boy, they weren't wrong! It was! I was completely enthralled by this story.Declan & Solene are great characters. I loved watching them together from the start to the finish. Their story had a lot of ups and downs and twists throughout the fake relationship but the more I listened, the more I wanted. It was a crazy, wild ride but they did it and they did it well!I absolutely love Shane East and his narrations. His voice is *swoon* so addictive! He did a magnificent job being Declan to life, filling my ears with all the emotion, all the angst, all the sexiness. And, Rose Dioro was fantabulous as Solene. Every emotion was captured beautifully with her voice! This was a phenomenal duo to tell the tale!𝙻. 𝚂𝚝𝚎𝚎𝚕𝚎 is a talented author who takes her readers/listeners on a roller coaster ride they won't forget. Can't wait to listen to more!

I enjoyed the book but the whole BDSM stuff for a lot of talk it had in the story was what got me a bit annoyed because it really didn't go that way. Declan loves Solene but his reasons for letting her know was understandable. Their moments together are amazing and hot and I love the way they just couldn't stop from wanting the other and I love that we see it friends helping him figure his feelings towards Solene. Their chemistry is soul consuming too! Loved it and ENJOY!!

Not what I was expecting Declan to be honestly, out of all the men that have come from Laxmi I was pleasantly surprised Declan was the most naughty, dirty, and kinky. From BDSM, blood play, accidental breeding, and just that mouth on him! Hot hot hot 🥵 Solene was very unexpected as well with having to grow up sheltered and restricted from doing this that deem her unsuitable as a wife in the Mafia and needing that control from the only person she wanted it from (Declan). It was great to see how they first met all those years ago because it did really add to that second seeing when they met again when she was 18. I really loved that there was so much insight into the dynamics of all the relationships the MCs had with their friends and how that played a part in their own personal relationship with each other. To see Declan give in to his emotions despite not being able to was beautiful to see and needed for Solene to hear. Although at times throughout the book you just wanted to slap Declan for being stupid, I could not lie that that grand gesture was knocked out of the park and well deserved for Solene ❤️ All in all, I’m glad that he made up for it and that they got what they deserved. Definitely recommend as a read you need to dive into. While the spice in this one was wow wow wow, nothing beats the Sovrano series to me. Idk they just hold a special place in my heart but this came in a close second for sure!

I love how Declan and Solent have so much history together. Both good and bad, how it shaped and molded their lives. They meet again at her engagement party where he offers her dream, her dream to sing. He seems set on revenge, but when you love someone it gets harder to see why you wanted revenge. Declan is a self centered alpha actor, but he definitely has a softer side especially with Solene. He knows what she needs and he delivers then he shuts down and backs off. I love Solene she’s a young woman who knows her mind and she’s always wanted Declan, even at age 14 when they first met. These two never give up, they me detour for awhile but love always finds away. True soulmates fated to be together. A fantastic read with plenty of steamy scenes and two people trying to find themselves in the careers and each other. I have voluntarily read and reviewed this amazing story of a second chance at romance.

Declan and Solene meet in Italy in the wee hours of the morning when he first hears her singing on the beach and then finds her being attacked by four men. After he beats them off he carries her back to his apartment. When she finally comes to, she opens her eyes and sees the most gorgeous man. He wants to know why she was on the beach at that time all alone. She doesn’t want to tell him that her mother had caned her for reading spicey books and sent her to her room with no food. When he found out that she was only 17 years old to his 21, he immediately took her back to her home.

He could not forget her, though and he wanted to say good bye to her before he left for England with his friend Knight. He climbed the tree she had climbed to get to her room. She was asleep and he watched her sleep until she woke up with a start. She was shocked at first but then she was so happy to see him. When he went to leave through the window, she threw herself at him and asked him to kiss her. Suddenly he was pulled from her by her brother. Her brother attacked him and she told him to run. Her brother sent his men after Declan when she told her brother that she didn’t know him, only because she was afraid. Declan was beaten nearly to death and was saved by Knight who flew him on a medical plane back to England.

Declan wanted revenge for what had happened to him.

When it came to Solene, Declan lost perspective and made a mess of himself. Intense emotions, misguided resentment, and things he didn't say kept him in a circle he thought he couldn't escape. Declan and Solene both turned out to be boxes of surprises. Him with his lifestyle and the overprotected Mafia princess with the intensity of her emotions. Quite a revelation! An intriguing situation full of twists, suspense, heated passion. and a heroine who was not willing to give up. Entertaining, exciting, and thrilling as Solene and Declan discover each other. I liked the interventions of the friends and how the complications were handled.

Im so not trying to be mean, I like some of her other books, I finished this one even though I cringed through it because I hate investing in a book and not finish it. I guess what killed it for me was both of their personalities, came across as whiny to me, I expect grovel at least, it disappointed, they didn’t have much of relatable in their personalities, except from her reading smut from a young age. I don’t, it was some of the worst reads in a while, sorry.

This story has so much emotional upheaval and turbulence. Solene and Declan really put each other through the emotional wringer before they are finally forced by unforeseen and life threatening circumstances to reveal their hearts to each other. I really don’t want to give much more detail for fear of spoiling your enjoyment of this book. Let’s just say you should have tissues handy and maybe a fan or a glass of ice water to cool you down. Like all of this author’s other books, this book has plenty of very hot and steamy encounters. Enjoy!

As a longstanding fan of this author I bought this book, and it certainly did not disappoint. I loved it that persons from former books made their appearances.

Declan and Solene met when was only a teenager and both have immediately a chemistry and never forget each other. Some years later Solene is forced into an engagement to a man who is in love with her sister. That brings her into contact again with Declan. The situation gets solved and Solene follows Declan to LA so that he can help her to develop her own career. The up and down begins. Soon as those two are together, sparks fly and they can’t deny their chemistry.
But both their demanding careers, past secrets and other things keep tearing them apart. Can she ever overcome the hurt Declan caused her? Will he ever be able to see her as the woman he not only loves but who suits his needs? When both their careers crash, that might give them one last chance at happiness….or is it too late?

This was another beautiful story written by L Steele. I loved every moment reading it and couldn’t put this book down.

As with all this authors books, it is well written with excellent story and characters.
My main issue was the way the age of the FMC changed during the story. In the chapter when they met she was 14 and therefore when they met again 4 years later she was 18. However later in the book it refers to her being 17 when they first met ?? This was a bit confusing, it didn't detract from the story however which I enjoyed.
I love all this authors books and will probably re read the others again.
