Sizzling hot is what this book is! It also starts with a bang because there’s a hot sex scene right at the beginning, and through the story, we get several, very lengthy and very detailed sex scenes with Hannah and Declan. And, and, and, there’s a lot of sexual tension and anticipation throughout the book. It’s really a super sexy hot cocktail!

Hannah meets Declan when he comes back to his Alma Mater university to mentor a group of law students. He notices this gorgeous spitfire who is clearly very talented and on her way to become a brilliant litigator, which is what he is. Dalton is, at the moment, a successful litigator who never loses a case. Soon after, he switches jobs to the Dalton Group in a very profitable contract to be their prize litigator. And then, on his first day, he’s assigned an intern, and two guesses who he got?

The big surprise is that Hannah is a Dalton, as in, the baby cousin of Dominick, Jenner, and Ford, the hotties who starred the previous books in this series. So now you have it, a seriously aroused and deprived playboy who has to mentor the woman he’s been having wet dreams with, and now she’s unavailable!

Grumpy/sunshine, age gap, playboy/innocent, and forbidden love is brilliantly portrayed by Marni Mann. The sexual tension and the grumpiness in Declan is lovely, since he used to be a “love and leave them” playboy and now he’s harping after a woman he can’t have and she’s around, in all her sexiness, all the time. I found his rants and tantrums amusing, and loved how Hannah pampered him with apple baked sweets. I also loved Hannah’s close relation with Ford, which we had already seen in The Single Dad. She has a twin brother, Camden, also graduating in law, so I hope he’s next!

I found that the plot was a little narrow in scope, since all it covers is their love story, sex scenes, and very little secondary characters involvement, no personal issues except the work environment, no angsty problems. However, the writing is impeccable as always and the plot moves at a nice clip so it never bores. I loved both characters and loved that both are intense, have lots of integrity, and are dealing with a situation that is new and difficult, and are as cautious and considerate as necessary to avoid hurting the other. It was entertaining and for those who love sexy times, it was a heck of a good time!

The Intern is book #4 in the Dalton Family Series and it was a very enjoyable read. This is Declan and Hannah's story and its an insta-attraction with all the feels. Declan's hot and cold attitude towards Hannah drove me a bit crazy but all in all it was a really good book, full of sexual tension, steam and all the drama.

As for the narration, Savannah Peachwood and Lee Samuels were the perfect Hannah and Declan. They really brought these characters to life.

This enemies to lovers, office romance was so hot! I loved the banter, the connection, and the passion between these two. Don’t even get me started on Declan, he’s everything and Hannah is the perfect match for him. This book was seriously addictive and I finished it one day because it was just that good! I loved the narrators and I can’t wait to read/listen to more by Marni Mann!

Rating: 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

2.5 stars•  Audiobook • I really don’t mind the alpha asshole, but Declan was so condescending and downright nasty to Hannah when she starts working for him.  

Don’t get me wrong, when he finally opened his eyes to what was in front of him, he was sweet and charming, but I don’t know if that justifies the first 70% of the book, where he just wasn’t it.

I felt like this one wasn’t the best in the series, and it’s probably a me problem because others would eat this up, but I truly felt like Declan didn’t deserve Hannah at all.

Book #4 in The Dalton Family was an enjoyable read. Hannah and Declan have intense chemistry from the very beginning. I wanted to strangle Declan at times with his hot and cold attitude toward Hannah, but I’m glad they were able to work through their issues. Plenty of drama, sexual tension and steam. Loved seeing the other Dalton family again!

Savannah Peachwood and Lee Samuels did a good job bringing Hannah and Declan to life.
