A Very Good Bad IdeaA Very Good Bad Idea by Emma Chase
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh this was such a delightful audiobook! It had been a while since I read a book by Emma Chase and I was so excited to dive into this one because I adore her writing. Main characters Damon and Jade's enemies-to-lovers relationship was such a hoot! So much banter and hilarious shenanigans! Narrators Sean Masters and Brooke Bloomingdale gave such great performances.

About I’VE GOT A CRUSH ON YOU (Coming 7/28/2026):

My secret workplace romance starts innocently enough at a birthday party.

But when a rowdy partier knocks me into a lake and a sexy stranger comes to my rescue – my night becomes one to remember.

A night so steamy I almost forget why I’ve sworn off men after a failed workplace romance.

Trouble is, the brand new doggy daycare in Darling Springs that I’ve contracted with is owned by none other than my sexy stranger. Thanks, fate.

Sawyer turns out to be a total grump in a tailored suit, no matter how sunshine-y I am. Even when he squeezes that hard body past me as I bring donuts to work. Or when he pretends he’s not roaming his dark eyes over me as I teach Fido to sit, stay and come.

But I’m focusing on my shiny new future—my dog-training business is suddenly the hottest thing in town, thanks to a new actress client. And when I’m roped into a charity dance number, I smell an opportunity, especially when I learn my hot landlord has an alter ego and a fandom.

Turns out Mr. Serious Boss is up for dance lessons.

Then the entire Dirty Dancing experience.

Giving into our chemistry once won’t hurt. Two might be pushing it. By the seventh, it’s undeniable–I’ve got a crush on him too.

Now Live on Audio: A Very Good Bad Idea by Emma Chase

A Very Good Bad Idea by Emma Chase is now live on audio!

Narrated by: Sean Masters & Brooke Bloomingdale 


New York Times bestselling author Emma Chase is back with this red-hot
romantic comedy about two rival real estate developers who inherit the
same lucrative property. There’s just one catch: they have to live in
it...together.


Block 42 Lot 17 is the most coveted oceanfront property in Shore Haven,
and both Damon Burke and Jade Buchanan are certain it’s already theirs.

The elderly owner, Clarabelle Spicket, promised it to Damon. She also
promised it to Jade. Awkward…

Now thanks to a provision in the will, the town’s coldest real estate
shark and its fiercest power player are forced to spend the next four
months living there together or else they forfeit the property.

Even worse, the dilapidated beachfront mansion seems determined to shove
them into the same room—and the same bed. As wills clash, tempers flare
and walls crumble…so do their defenses.

It’s a bad idea to get too close to your enemy. To care about them, need
them, desperately want them.

But when rivalry turns into something far more than either of them ever
expected, Damon and Jade discover that love can be a very good bad idea.
