okay but i found it unbelievable that the male grumpy asshole character is suddenly the nice person - especially if he is still a pain for his secretaries. something didn't felt right for me.

After reading Cocky Bastard, I knew I had to read anything and everything Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward wrote together. Come on, when you reference Sex and the City and General Hospital, I'm hooked! Soraya ends up sitting next to Mr. Big Prick on the train. He's gorgeous, but rude and obnoxious. When he drops his phone, she scoops it up with plans to give it back to him immediately. She can't stop herself from looking at his pictures, going through his contacts and maybe a few other things. When she returns the phone, he won't see her. So, she texts him a few dirty pics and leaves. Never in a million years did she expect him to reply to her text. And, not just reply, engage in witty conversation, sexual innuendo and beg to let him see her face. She knows what he looks like, but he has no idea. Graham becomes consumed with finding her and getting to know her. He's never wanted another woman the way he wants this sassy mouthed, dark haired, Italian beauty. When they finally meet in person, it's explosive. They can't get enough of each other. They are from different walks of life, but they have a connection that goes beyond heart and soul. Graham falls fast. Faster than he ever thought possible. Soraya is scared to fall for him. Her past keeps getting in her way. Will these two trust in each other before it's too late? Will Soraya make the biggest mistake of her life?
I love Graham. His intensity, his dirty mouth, his fierceness. Soraya changed him. He's more down to earth. He smiles more. He knows what he wants and he plans to get it. Soraya is a kick ass leading lady. She tells it how it is, but she's real. She's comfortable in her own skin and she knows what she wants. I laughed, cried, got very hot and bothered and laughed and cried some more. I was both happy and sad when it was over. I wanted more!
"I'm so unbelievably attracted to you, Soraya. And your body right now is telling me you feel the same way about me."
"it doesn’t matter how good-looking you are. You're a dangerous human being."
"You have no idea how dangerous I am when I want something. I will stop at nothing to get it. And there's nothing more that I want right now than you.
"Remember what arguing with me does. You might want to look under the table."
"You aren't."
"Go ahead. Put your head under. I know you're dying to take a peek anyway."
"Please tell me that Clark Kent hottie who just walked in isn't Mr. Big Prick, because I might have to fight you for him."

I finished The Christmas Pact recently and was told in Penelope’s reader group the hilarious columnist was from this story Stuck Up Suit so I FINALLY gave in and listened to it as it’s been on my TBR/L FOREVER lol
And I just have to say that it is AMAZING! The humor is on point and Siraya doesn’t let Graham get away with ANYTHING lol I would love more from this couple for sure!
And Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell knock the performance of this book out of the park. It’s so natural and just flows beautifully.

3.5 Stuck-up Stars.
Funny yes, witty hells yes, and Soraya is a kick butt name just like her personality.
I really enjoyed the narration no doubt about it. Great book just kind of blends with all the rest though. I was waiting to write this thinking I would give the story time to marinate in my brain but I think I waited too long because I actually had to go back and re listen to some of it to figure out what I wanted to say.
I love that Soraya is totally Graham's equal, she doesn’t take no gruff from him what so ever. I think Graham needed that after everything from his past.
I do like the way these two go together, fun and witty. I like how open and honest Soraya is throughout this book mostly because Graham to me seemed more closed off but till the end of things.
I don’t want to give too much away but I liked watching Graham become less stuck-up and become softer esp for the women in his life.
There are parts of this book I wanted to take the head set off and be like really you little lol but I didn’t so I guess I liked the book but I didn’t love it and that’s ok not every book I listen to is going to get 4 and 5 star’s this was a great book one I would listen to again yes.
What are you waiting for get this book.

When the title of the book is "Stuck-up Suit", you kind of expect the lead male character to be, well, a stuck-up jerk in a business suit. But in a good way, since this is a romance book after all. So it was kind of weirdly disappointing that Graham was blatantly rude to his secretaries but otherwise was a nice, normal guy. Ignoring that, I liked this book well enough. However I do NOT recommend the audiobook - the male narrator was ruining the book for me so I had to switch over to an ebook instead.

Main conflict felt resolved at 53% and I didn't want to deal with the soap opera angst that seemed to be coming next
