Historia
Middle age hits hard for Karen Grace. She’s spent her entire career working for one corporation, an increasingly soul-sucking health insurance company in southern California. Nearing the big five-oh, Karen's marriage is foundering, and her mother’s health is declining. All she has left is her work family, the employees she’s mentored and nurtured over the years. When a young corporate gunslinger arrives, determined to fire them all and shut down the Newport Beach office, Karen goes to war.

Karen's story
Revisado: 03-27-25
I know nothing about the corporate world and this is my first book from this author. Yet I found this prequel to be very interesting and entertaining. Being a senior citizen myself, I really like Karen and was pulling for her. She is compassionate and really cares for her coworker family. I would love to see where life takes her.
I was gifted an Audible version of this book from the author through Story Origin. The narrator did an excellent job presenting this story. Her male voices are believable, too. 5 stars for her as well.
This prequel certainly makes me want to finish the series.

Historia
Lemon: I’m settling in at Grim Road in my role as vice president. The men test me, but it’s all in good fun. I think I enjoy it as much as they do. Then, out of nowhere, things go horribly sideways. I realize how much weaker I am physically than everyone else in the club. That weakness can be a horrible liability. Yeah. Things are going great. Until they aren’t. I may have bitten off more than I can chew…

Meet Lemon.
Revisado: 03-26-25
Meet Lemon. She is smart, strong, a great VP, even tho quite young. She is quite the character addition to this series. However, I found all the vulgarity to be quite distracting to her story.
I was gifted an Audible version of this book from the author through Story Origin. The narration is just the best! Umi Markkanen can make any story interesting. She lays out all the f bombs and steamy talk with ease. 5 stars plus for her.

Unputdownable
Revisado: 03-20-25
"Your next unputdownable thriller." is right. I couldn't put it down! It bounced between past and present with some chapters ending on little cliffhangers. The characters were interesting. The plot was complicated and mysterious.
The narrator was excellent. She presented the characters great. Her male voices were believable. I highly recommend this one.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

College days.
Revisado: 03-15-25
Clara wants to get out of the spotlight now that she's away at college. But who does she fall for? The basketball star! I wanted to like this book by Clara's bestie is Becky. (And I'm Becky.) But it was just a little too slow burn for me. Plenty of spice, But not enough action. I did enjoy the dual POV.
I received a complimentary Audible version of this book from the author through Story Origin. The narrator did an ok job. I wish she had a better male voice. It was kind of confusing when Court was speaking with her high voice.
3.5 stars for both the story and the narrator.

I was gifted an Audible version of this book from the author through Story Origin. She uses the same narrator for all the books in this series. Each character has a different voice. They are a qwerty as their characters. 5 stars for the narrator, too.

I love this detective, Ian Skair. He's a down home every day ok guy. And, of course, his wee dog, Lottie is so cute. He solves this mystery piece by piece along with other questions that pop up along the way. Very entertaining.
I was gifted an Audible version of this book from the author through Story Origin. The narrator gets 3.5 stars. He presents the story well. But he has this strong Scottish accent and I just couldn't understand some of his words. Definitely my problem, not his.

A very entertaining listen! A mystery with some sci fi thrown in. Experiments gone wrong. A great cast of characters. Twists. Danger. A little romance. Warren du Plooy narrates this story beautifully. He has a nice voice with appropriate expression. 5 stars for him as well.

Police corruption.
Revisado: 03-02-25
I am sorry. I can't say I enjoyed this book. Most of the action took place off the page. Lots of phrases were repeated over and over again. Boring. I'm not sure what it is. A romance, I guess. Definitely not a police procedural. Nothing was by the book. Not really a mystery. It felt like it was written for kids, but had private couple moments. I hope this helps.
The narrator doesn't fit the book. In my opinion, he should be narrating a good western! The voice quality was very poor. Very tinny sounding. He did have good expression.

Yes, a very slow burn, but so very good. I really fell for Kolt and Sam. Fake relationship. Troubled pasts. Country singer. Second chance.
I was gifted an Audible version of this book from the author through Story Origin. The narrator was pleasant to the ear. But I felt she got a little too rhythmic at times. Would have liked more expression. This is a heartfelt book. 4 stars for her.

I was gifted an Audible version of this book from the author through Story Origin. So no pictures to look at, but I was able to visualize present day as well as the past. Younger children might have trouble tho. The narrator presented the rhyming prose without too much cadence, so the story flowed right along. He was excellent. 5 stars for him.
