2.5/5⭐
4/5🌶️

The narrators, Savannah Peachwood and Lee Samuels, did a wonderful job with this! I love when Dual POV books have two narrators! I listened to this at 1.75x for the most part.

If you want a lawyer/office romance with a major alphahole that is super steamy you will love this book. I personally wasn't a fan of the insta lust, I prefer just a little more build up tbh.

Dual POV, Alphahole, Office Romance, Enemies-to-Lovers, Forced Proximity

Thank you to Netgalley and Dreamscape Media for the Audio-ARC

I both read and listened to the audiobook. I have to say, Savannah Peachwood and Lee Samuels absolutely killed the audiobook - the emotion and tension was exquisite!! I can't wait for Camden's book next!!

I wanted to like this one, I read the single dad a few months ago and loved ford and was excited for Hannah to get her own story. But Declan ruined it for me, he was way to cocky and just obnoxious. Normally I love a bit of Jack ass in my MMC but he was over the top and honestly just abusing Hannah through most of this story and why she did take it good and stood up to him. She didn’t deserve half what he did to her. He is a new lawyer at Hannah’s family firm and Hannah just got an internship there and they sign her over to Declan to monitor but these two had a night together a few weeks ago and Declan didn’t know who Hannah was and when he finds out her family is the ones who run the firm and his best fiends her decides to be mean to her and do everything to get her reassigned. But this is what bothered me Hannah was a great at what she did and he acted like she was a spoiled brat who couldn’t do anything right to her and her family all because he didn’t like his feelings he had about her. And It did get better in the end which is why I’m giving it a 3. But even tho her started acting better and we got to know why he was the way he was it just didn’t make up for it. And the dirty talk was so cringey referring to her private’s as a C**T over and over.

Declan was firmly planted in bachelor life on the road to professional success at all costs. When the a freight train he never expected drove right into his life when he least expected it. The story of Declan and Hannah's love was delightful listen.

Thank you for the opportunity to read this.

I unfortunately did not enjoy this as much as I enjoyed the single dad. The characters were not likable to me, and it felt like too much smut to be considered a romance. I would rethink how this is categorized.

The physical scenes were fine, but there was far more plot in the previous book, and this did not match that level.

I was blown away. Honestly the pull between them just automatically starts off hot! I mean. Wowza. Declan is a lot of things.. but soft and sweet? Nah I don't think so. Or... maybe? As I said. The pull from the beginning was incredible but when the push starts too? Man the back and forth between them was enough to light off fireworks if they got too close!

I love Marni Mann books and this next book in the Dalton series didn't disappoint! A one night stand to taboo workplace romance, alphahole to sweet on her, and with tension, spice and banter = recipe for a great story. Do I think the main characters could've handled a certain situation better? Sure, but then the author would've had to come up with a different conflict/resolution, ha. Great read/listen!! The audio was phenomenal - great narration by Lee Samuels and Savannah Peachwood.

Thank you to Dreamscape Media and NetGalley for this ALC!

“𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙢𝙮𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛, 𝘿𝙚𝙘𝙡𝙖𝙣.”
“𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗳 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂?”

Marni Mann is back with another scorching hawt installment in the Dalton family series! It the highly anticipated story of Hannah and Declan. From the bits shared previously, we know there’s some severely strong hate brewing between the two. Now in The Intern, we finally find out the why.

But, first things started off with a literal bang. Holy mother of everything that is panty melting sizzle, can Marni Mann write some hot AF scenes. I mean sheeesh, have your ice, fans, something for a cool down at the ready.

“𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘦, 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘤𝘵𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘐 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘰𝘢𝘯, 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘯𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘴 𝘴𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘺 𝘧𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘩 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮.”

If there is one thing guaranteed to bring me to my knees, it is dirty talk. Let me tell you, Declan and that lethal weapon he calls a mouth delivered some of the most superior of dirty talk. Hannah wasn’t the only one salivating.

After a night that was both red-hot and a case of misunderstanding, these two are reunited in the last place they’d expect: the workplace. Declan was now Hannah’s boss. The one woman who wouldn’t leave his brain was now the last one he could have. Declan was a deliciously growly alphahole who took joy in making Hannah’s work days and nights miserable.

“𝙎𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙖 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩. 𝘼 𝙢𝙤𝙤𝙙. 𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥 𝙝𝙚𝙧.”

What loved about Hannah was that she did not take things lying down. She challenged Declan right back. Any chance to rile him up she took it. They had the heated verbal sparring down to perfection. That hate lust and sexual tension was stifling. The more time these two spent together, the harder it became to deny what they felt.

“𝘠𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘏𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘢𝘩.”

There’s nothing I love more than watching two enemies letting their walls down and letting each other in. Seeing that sweet romantic side of Declan? Cue all the swoon. This was a steamy page turner that consumed me from the moment I started.

Age-gap, enemies to lovers, a tad of forbidden…this story was my perfect kindle crack recipe and best believe I happily devoured it with every bit of enthusiasm.

Savannah Peachwood and Lee Samuels were the cherry on top with the narration. These two perfectly embodied Hannah and Declan!

For me personally, it wasn’t giving enemies to lovers.

Nonetheless I did enjoy the book and finished listening to it in almost one sitting.

There was a moment in where she told that one specific lie and I was forced to press pause and take a break. I do think she could’ve approached the whole situation differently but oh well.

Besides that lie, she really was sweet and caring. He, on the other hand was a proper asshole. But I liked to see him going from an asshole to having a soft spot for her.

But I was Ford who I liked the most. So I will be reading his book soon!

Also I’d give a solid 3,5 / 4 stars for the narrators

This was the first Marni Mann book I have listened to. The narrators were fantastic. The story was fantastic. I loved watching Hannah and Declan fight their desire for each other. I loved it so much that I went and read the first 3 books in the Dalton series. if you like fast paced, spicy reads, with nothing left to the imagination then The Intern is for you! Thanks NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for the opportunity to listen to this one!

This series has been so interesting ever since the very first book. I absolutely love that I have been able to listen to all of them via audiobook arc. My request for this was accepted after the release date which is why I didn't have it reviewed by then.

I absolutely loved that this story has a one night stand kind of start between the characters and then turns into a boss and subordinate kind of dynamic. If both are done really well I really enjoy those tropes, and within this story I think they were done well. I was so invested in wanting to know what was going to happen next and how it all was going to play out. I was hooked and never wanted to put it down.

Thank you NetGalley for an arc of this book.

OMG! This was not only an incredible book plot wise, but the spice?! Yes, please!! Marni really turned up the heat with The Intern and I am so here for it.

Hannah and Declan draw you in from the very beginning with their workplace romance and the taboo aspect of it, and Declan's alpha asshole attitude only contributes to the overall story in a positive way.

Book rating: 4.5
Narration: 3.5/5

I had a mixed reaction to this audiobook. It was very sexy/steamy. I liked the female lead and the secondary characters, but I had a bit of a hard time with the “alpha-hole.” I have read a lot of books whee the hero of the story has a lot of objectifying thoughts in his head, and I wonder - do men really think this way, or do women just think they do? I raised two boys and I would be horrified to learn that they had such an attitude toward women. It isn’t ok to harm a woman’s reputation in a professional environment just because someone is fighting an attraction. Lots of authors write male POV this way, and it always leaves me feeling a little cringy, but the characters always redeem themselves in the long run. For some reason, Declan seemed a bit worse, and I think it was because of the professional piece. The male narrator was a good fit for Declan’s character and the female narrator a good choice as well. This book is more about sex than relationship, though one does develop and Declan is also redeemed in the end. (I don’t really see that as a spoiler since romance novels have happy endings!) Some parts of Declan and Hannah’s story are really sweet and Hannah wasn’t perfect either. Declan’s internal struggle with a lie she told is what redeems him most for me, but he also deserved to sweat given his unjustified treatment of Hannah in the first half of the book. There was a lesson there as well as some karma for Declan. So overall, this wasn’t my favorite book, but still a decent one if you are into a$$hole heroes and super erotic stories. I am voluntarily submitting this review after listening to an advanced complementary copy of this audiobook.

If steamy, enemies-to-lovers workplace romances are your jam, then don't miss out on The Intern. Hannah and Declan have chemistry for days, from the moment they meet during a mock trial in one of her law school classes and have hot, steamy, alley-way $ex to the moment she realizes that he will be her mentor at her family's law firm.

Declan is as shocked to see Hannah as his intern as she is to see him as his mentor. He had no idea who she was the night that they hooked up, and she was ticked after he ghosted her. It's been a few weeks, but Declan hasn't been able to get Hannah out of his mind -- and working with her every day is going to be pure torture, so he naturally resorts to being a grouchy SOB. For her part, Hannah lies about the events that happened that night, setting the stage for a major conflict between them once things really get going. Will alphahole Declan fully let his walls down and let Hannah in? Will her omission be too much for Declan to handle or will these two litigators find a common ground?

The banter between Hannah and Declan is sharp and witty, and the storyline grabbed my attention from the start. I enjoyed the arc that each of them took in this story, and how they came to find a work/life balance.

UPDATE FOR AUDIO: Holy hell, Lee Samuels took Declan to a WHOLE new level!! His narration was phenomenal and along with Savannah Peachwood, Declan and Hannah were even hotter the second time around as I listened to these two vocal artists tell the tale.


The Intern is a standalone in the Dalton Family series and follows Hannah, the younger cousin of Dominic, Jenner, and Ford. Of course, there are plenty of appearances from her big cousins, and the timeline overlaps a bit with Ford's story, The Single Dad. I can't wait to see how this series finishes up with Hannah's twin, Camden, in The Bachelor.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

I was a fan of another one of the books in this series so when I saw that there was another book available to request, I jumped at it. I still need to go back to read the first two books in this series because this current book did not disappoint. I was expecting something hot and steamy and was not disappointed. I loved to listen to the audiobook so I could escape to another world while doing tedious chores and this helped me achieve my goal. Will definitely pick up the next book in this series when it comes out!

This is a duel POV book and is narriated by Savanna Peachwood and Lee Samuels.

He is the best ledigator in the city, Declan Shaw. She is the most promising law students of her class of graduates, Hannah Dalton. They hook up at the bar, actually in the alley by the bar, wanting to go home with each other but things happen and they both believe the other left. After not seeing each other for awhile. When Hannah goes to her families firm for her Internship the last person she was expecting to see was Declan, let alone to have him be her mentor and new boss. It plays off from there.

Steamy hot, super sexy tension. Age-Gap. Grumpy/sunshine. Enemies-to-lovers. Office romance. Forbidden Romance.

I love the dirty talk, the sexual tension, the natural chemistry, and the way that no matter how hard they fight it they are drawn to each other.

I gave this book 5 stars because it kept me wanting more from the first words and it gave me all the feels. Plus, it left me with all my questions answered and was satisfied with how it left off.

I received this audiobook from NetGalley in return for a honest review.

Marni never seems to surprise me when I read any of her books & the Intern was no exception! I absolutely loved this audiobook so much! It had me listening until I was on the edge of my seat!

Hannah and Declan absolutely radiated steam and spice, and all things nice ;) They were both so different and yet they fit together like two puzzle pieces. Declan is a major alpha hole, but he does really redeem himself with Hannah throughout the entirety of the novel. I really enjoyed listening to this book and getting little sneak peaks of other characters from Marni's other books as well.

This book was definitely steamy, leg crossing good, and one that I would pick up again in a heartbeat! Such a good read!

Thank you NetGalley for providing an eARC of this audiobook!

A spicy encounter turns into a disaster - Hannah doesn’t want special treatment during his mentoring with her class, so she doesn’t tell Declan Shaw her last name. Fast forward to them hooking up against a wall in an alley, and him disappearing on her. Until she starts her internship with her family’s firm, and she comes face to face with her new boss.

Considering I had no idea this was book 4 of a series until I logged it on StoryGraph upon finishing, this can definitely be read as a standalone!

The power dynamic gives me a bit of the ick, but every encounter these two had was HOT. This flew by, and the narration was perfect.

I think I’m starting to realize that incredibly wealthy people make me uncomfortable? There’s something about the extravagance in parts of this that made me lose focus on the story.

Seriously hot, a bit of taboo, and overall a great listen.

4/5 ⭐️ 4/5 🌶️

This was my first Marni book and I loved it.

We meet Declan and Hannah in a dual pov boss, alphahole, close proximity romance.

I loved how strong and independent Hannah was even from the first moment we met her. She’s this strong capable law student and she knows her worth. I loved her character so much.

Declan is this badasś, cocky lawyer who knows he’s the best and isn’t afraid to tell you exactly how he feels.

I loved that there was smüt within the first two chapters of the book and the chemistry and banter were unreal. I wish Declan would have owned up to how he was feeling sooner, but the overall story was great. I want to read the other books in the series now too 😊

I am used to more rom-com type romance books, so I knew this would be a little outside my comfort zone from the start. However, I liked the description, love work related tropes, and wanted to give it a try. I tried, I really did, but the intensity of the smut was too much for me. I really liked how it reminded me a bit of the show “How to Get Away with Murder,” since the main characters are a law student and a professional lawyer, but to me the storyline was not able to compete with the lust filled scenes, so I decided to put it down. If you like smut, give this a shot!
