The Complete A Story of Now series by Emily O'Beirne 
House of Agnes (audiobook) by Fiona Zedde
Description
A lesbian romance filled with intrigue and sizzling sexual tension as enemies discover that the other side of hatred…is desire.
Agnes Noble is private, mysterious, and untouchable. She rules House of Agnes, the most exclusive escort agency on the East Coast, with a diamond fist. Crossing her is a mistake no one makes twice.
Investigative reporter Lola Osbourne is not afraid. She’s gunning for the House and its so-called queen. She’ll make sure no other innocent gets dragged into Agnes’s alluring web, to be used and discarded the way Lola’s sister was.
But her plan to get close to the elusive madam shatters the moment her eyes meet the Queen’s. One look and everything’s different. More complicated. Dangerous.
Now, Lola’s not just fighting to topple a queen from her throne, she’s also scrambling to escape their explosive collision with her suddenly vulnerable heart intact.

Well… Drats. Another author who is going to make me pick up more shifts at work so I can buy all their books.
One book.
That’s all I needed to know I am going to be DEVOURING Fiona Zedde’s backlist.
Quick Thoughts:
– I fell in love with Agnes right from the jump. She is such a great, lovely, complex, character and it’s a treat watching her navigate the world she lives in and protect her people
– Lola on the other hand, took a little bit for me to warm up to simply because she seemed a bit too easily manipulated and naïve. There were a few points I wanted to shake the stupid out of her
– Their first full on sex scene was hot (it even included an extremely sexy strap scene)
– The back story of both characters were very dark and gave me a better understanding of their present day motivations
– At times the story felt like it dragged in some spots but it just seemed that way because of how immersive and fast paced it is in other places
– There are so many wonderful characters in this book that I would love to see get their own stories
– Gretchen is adorable and I was delighted to see how tightly she has Whit and Agnes wrapped around her little finger
– I might have “gone to bed early” on a non-work night saying I was sleepy but it was actually so I could finish this book. Don’t tell the wife
– The ending felt like it was wrapped up a little too easily but I could overlook it with how awesome it was to see all the plot threads come together
– This is one of a very few books that I didn’t feel cheated by them getting together at the end of the book. They had spent so much of the story building a relationship together that this ending worked for me
– The ONLY reason it took me so long to finish this is that it is an emotional roller coaster and I was so incredibly stressed at work I ended up listening to a book I’ve already finished four times this year to decompress
– This is the first book I’ve listened to by Mari (no last name given) and I,ultimately, ended up enjoying it even though I didn’t think she did a great job narrating first intimate scene. The later sex scene was done well and didn’t pull me out of the story like the first time. She won’t be someone I actively look for but she won’t be a deterrent to pick up a book
Overall I really really loved this book. I loved the characters, the setting, and the story. Before even finishing this review I have already picked up three more books by Fiona Zedde and they are absolutely shooting up my TBR.
