Bad for Business

About This Audiobook

Kat Singleton’s *Bad for Business* isn’t just another billionaire romance—it’s a masterclass in *enemies-to-lovers* tension, where the hate burns hotter than the attraction. Set against the gilded backdrop of an exclusive Hamptons country club, this audiobook thrives on the electric push-pull between its leads: a ruthless, black-cat-sharp heroine and her infuriatingly charming golden-retriever rival. The dual narration by JF Harding and Vanessa Edwin is a standout, with Harding’s smoldering delivery clashing perfectly against Edwin’s razor-edged wit, making their verbal sparring feel like a contact sport.

What sets this apart is Singleton’s knack for weaving workplace power struggles into the romance without sacrificing steam. The club’s cutthroat politics aren’t just window dressing—they’re the kindling for every explosive confrontation. And unlike so many billionaire romances that glamorize wealth, this one *weapons* it, turning boardroom battles into foreplay. The audiobook’s pacing is relentless, with Harding and Edwin’s chemistry so palpable you’ll rewind just to catch the subtext in their snipes. If you’re tired of saccharine billionaires, this is the antidote: sharp, selfish, and deliciously bad for your audiobook diet."

"review": "I’ll admit, I rolled my eyes at the ‘billionaire romance’ label—until *Bad for Business* proved it could be more than a trope checklist. The narration is *everything* here: JF Harding’s performance as the golden boy with a steel spine had me oscillating between wanting to punch him and… well, let’s just say his voice does things to a well-timed ‘darling.’ Vanessa Edwin, though, is the revelation. Her heroine isn’t just ‘feisty’; she’s a *shark* in a sheath dress, and Edwin’s delivery makes every cutting remark land like a scalpel. Their back-and-forth in the club’s kitchen scene? Audiobook gold. I actually laughed out loud when she called him a ‘trust-fund Narcissus’—the disdain in her voice was *chef’s kiss*.

That said, the middle act drags slightly with repetitive power struggles (yes, we get it, they’re both stubborn), and the secondary characters sometimes feel like cardboard cutouts of Hamptons elitism. But the production quality is flawless—no awkward edits, no volume jumps—and the final act’s emotional payoff justifies the slow burn. What really won me over? The way Singleton lets her leads stay *flawed*. No sudden moral epiphanies, no groveling—just two people who *shouldn’t* work, but do, in the messiest, most satisfying way. If you love romance with bite and narration that *sizzles*, this is your next listen. Just maybe not in public—Harding’s voice in *that* poolside scene is… distracting."
