Employing Patience

Written by Saxon James

Narrated by Nick J. Russo

Art

When it comes to regrets, I have none. My life is perfect. I own a bar, work hard, party harder, and smother my niblings in all the love they deserve. I don’t need to settle down, as much as my sister might want me to. 

But then Joey Manning walks into my office and leaves me all but begging to give him a job … and wanting to give him so much more. 

The self-professed straight man is in my head and while I know that I need to move on from him, my body isn’t getting that message. It doesn’t help that Joey is a grade A flirt who can banter with the best of them.  

I’ve never had regrets. Not until Joey Manning. 

Joey

The bills keep piling up and the pressure to get my sisters through college before we’re evicted is always on the back of my mind. Whoever said life was for living, clearly forgot that living’s expensive. 

My default mode is stressed AF and working myself to the bone, and there’s only one person who gives me a break from all that. 

Art de Almeida. 

My boss. 

The one man I shouldn’t flirt with, but I can’t seem to stop. I want to get under his skin. To leave him panting for me. Which wouldn’t be such a bad thing except that he thinks I’m straight, and I’ve never bothered to correct him. 

I need this job. 

But some days I worry that I need Art more.

Reviews for Employing Patience

[Kira McGuinness · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Well, hate to say it but it’s time for me to officially break up with Saxon’s solo work.
I’ve found this whole series to be a huge disappointment despite the promising premise.
These characters are so flat that I was both bored and annoyed simultaneously.
Nothing against Nick, he did his best with what he had.

[Kathleen Piazza · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

This was the least favorite of the series. I fast forwarded a lot, which I never do. I expected a better story about Art.

[B Lynn · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This had an interesting premise, and I was hoping for a good listen. It was a bit one dimensional and boring. Probably closer to three stars but I did finish it and enjoyed the wrap up of the story. Didn't love it and didn't hate it.

Might be my new favourite in the series!

I love the DMC series and each couple a new trope and brings all the feels. But I was excited for Art and Joey and they were worth the wait.

The energy between them comes through perfectly with the narration.

Now I just have to wait to swoon over the next couple.
