About this audiobook

A sexy new stand-alone from USA Today bestseller Sarina Bowen

You’d think a billion dollars, a professional hockey team and a six-bedroom mansion on the Promenade would satisfy a guy. You’d be wrong.

For seven years Rebecca has brightened my office with her wit and her smile. She manages both my hockey team and my sanity. I don’t know when I started waking in the night, craving her. All I know is that one whiff of her perfume ruins my concentration. And her laugh makes me hard.

When Rebecca gets hurt, I step in to help. It’s what friends do. But what friends don’t do is rip off each others’ clothes for a single, wild night together.

Now she’s avoiding me. She says we’re too different, and it can never happen again. So why can’t we keep our hands off each other?

Ratings and reviews

After reading Moonlighter, I knew that I had to read more of Sarina Bowen's work. I started with Brooklynaire because it was literally the first book that popped up when I searched for Sarina Bowen. I ended up alternating between the audio and the e-book version and I have to say that I LOVED this book! Everything about this book was so great. The way that the past and present are divided in this book made is such a great read. The friendship between Nate and Rebecca was so fun to witness. I loved the ease they had around each other, until they both realized their true feelings for one another. Nate was such a cute nerd. I loved the fact that although he was a Billionaire - you saw his humble roots but also his desire to succeed. Rebecca was awesome in her own right. She was always so independent and hated relying on anyone for support, even if it meant leaning on Nate so he could take care of her while she recovered from an injury. This book had everything in the perfect combination. It was funny, yet sweet and sexy and had the perfect amount of angst thrown in. I was rooting for Rebecca and Nate the whole time. I love this universe where the Brooklyn Bruisers exist and can't wait to read more! Audiobook: Story: 5 Narration: 5 Overall: 5 I actually started with the book in auidobook format and immediately fell in love with the voices of Nate and Rebecca. I also really appreciated that the past scenes were narrated by Joe Hempel. It made the transition between past and present seamless. I am a huge fan of Zachary Webber and as always he does a wonderful job bringing Nate to life. But I also really loved Virginia Rose as Rebecca! I could immediately tell when Rebecca was excited or doubtful (one of my favorite scenes was when she had a bit too much alcohol to drink!). This was definitely a wonderful audiobook to listen to and I look forward to more of Zachary Webber and Virginia Rose together!
