Two Weeks Notice by Whitney G.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

To Whom It May Concern: 

I am writing this letter to formally announce my resignation from Parker International (& the arrogant, condescending CEO) effective two weeks from today. 

This was a VERY EASY decision to make, as the past two years have been utterly miserable. I wish his next executive assistant all the luck in the world (she’ll need it) and if my boss should need me to do anything over the next two weeks, kindly tell him that he can do it [his] goddamn self… 

Sincerely (Not Really), 
Tara Lauren

That’s the version of my two weeks’ notice I should’ve sent to my boss, because the more professional version – the one where I said I was “grateful for all the opportunities,” and “honored by all the rewarding experiences” over the years? 

That letter was rejected with his sexy, trademark smirk and an “I highly suggest you read the fine print of your contract…” 

So, I did. 

And now I’ve realized that unless I fake my death, poison him, or find a way to renegotiate my impossible contract, I’m stuck working under one of the cockiest and most ruthless bosses in New York. 

Then again, I thought that was the case until he called me late last night with an emergency proposition…

Heroine: Tara Lauren
Armed with multiple Ivy League degrees and zero job prospects, Tara Lauren is navigating post-grad life in New York City with a mix of desperation and ingenuity. Her solution? Sneaking into Parker luxury hotels for their gourmet breakfast buffets. She’s got the timing down to a science—and even carries a stray room key as backup. It’s a quirky, borderline-illegal hustle that sets the stage for one of the most memorable meet-cutes I’ve encountered.

Hero: Preston Parker
Preston Parker is the CEO of Parker International, a global luxury hotel empire. He’s rich, ruthless, and runs through executive assistants like coffee filters—demanding 100-hour workweeks and perfection at every turn. He’s the archetypal bosshole, and the book leans into it hard.

The Story
Tara’s breakfast heist goes sideways when she’s caught and literally bumps into Preston himself. Instead of calling security, he hires her on the spot—she’s qualified, available, and conveniently desperate. What follows is two years of grueling work, emotional exhaustion, and slow-burning tension. When Tara finally quits, Preston refuses to let her go. She’s the only assistant who’s lasted, and he’s not about to lose her now.

What Worked

• 💥 Enemies to Lovers Done Right: Preston is insufferable in the best way—his unreasonable expectations and emotional detachment make the eventual thaw all the more satisfying.
• 👏 Tara’s Voice: She’s witty, sarcastic, and self-deprecating without veering into martyrdom. Her resilience and humor make her instantly likable.
• 🌍 World-Building & Character Depth: The luxury hotel setting is vivid and immersive, and both leads evolve in believable, emotionally resonant ways.


Narration
This dual narration by Joe Arden and Erin Mallon elevates the story.

• 🎙️ Joe Arden: His deep, gravelly voice nails Preston’s intensity and aloof charm. He’s one of my go-to male narrators for a reason.
• 🎙️ Erin Mallon: A seasoned pro, she brings Tara’s anxiety, frustration, and sass to life with nuance and emotional clarity.


Final Thoughts
If you love a good enemies-to-lovers arc with a side of gourmet breakfast and corporate warfare, this audiobook delivers. It’s sharp, funny, and emotionally satisfying—with narration that enhances every beat.
