AT FIRST SPITE Harlots Bay, Book 1

Joy Nash gives a sparkling performance of this enemies-to-lovers story, the first in a new romance series set in small-town Maryland. Athena finds herself stranded in Harlot's Bay when her fiancé, Johnny, breaks their engagement. She has left her teaching position and has impulsively purchased the ten-foot-wide Spite House as a wedding gift for Johnny. Next door lives Johnny's brother, Matthew, the pediatrician who convinced Johnny to end the engagement. Athena is angry with Matthew and provokes his ire by playing erotic audiobooks through her open window. Yet Athena cannot help finding herself drawn to the handsome, capable doctor--and he to her. Nash's performance is lively and well paced, and her characterizations are robust and engaging. Nash's spirited performance adds zest to this audiobook.
