A real hardass, huge age gap

Gabriella is a hard one to like. She comes off as a real biatch. What she sees in Sophie is a submissive and revels at the chance to bring that out in Sophie.

She offer Sophie a dream job, and then it turns sexual. Gabriella was so hurt by her ex all she wants is sex with no romance or commitment.

Narration was decent. wasn't crazy about the voices, but what most narrators can't do this one did. That is bring out all the emotions, especially when having sex.

Mature content rates a 🌶️🌶️🌶️🔥

Prepare Yourself Especially to all CEO Fans...

PERFORMANCE
Abby Craden did to audiobooks, in the way that Elvis did to music,simply irreplaceable and one of a kind Her absence in Book #6 feels like swapping a gourmet latte for instant coffee. Enter Tessa Stavers, the brave soul stepping into skyscraper-sized shoes. While it’s an adjustment (hello, playback speed 0.8), Tessa eventually finds her groove. Abby fans, hang in there. It get's easier.

STORY
Emily Hayes serves up another masterpiece! Book #6 is like that extra slice of cake you didn’t need but couldn’t resist, indulgent, satisfying, and totally worth it. Packed with steamy chemistry and drama so intense it could power a telenovela, this installment is a binge-worthy delight. Warning: May cause sleep deprivation and spontaneous swooning.

OVERALL
Despite the Abby-sized hole in my chest, the void in my audiobook-loving heart, I’m still hooked on Emily Hayes and the CEO series. Once the initial shock subsides, the story’s brilliance shines through. It’s spicy, heartfelt, and utterly addictive.

In short, Book #6 is a thrilling addition to the CEO Series! Full of spice, allure, and heart, it’s an audiobook fans should not miss. Kudos to all who brought this gem to life, I adored it!


PS. MY OWN SUBJECTIVE DISCLAIMER
This is mostly is about the 'lack' there of Abby Craden, the One and Only, the QUEEN of all narrators, long may she reign!! To me, the voice who defined the first 5x CEO Audiobooks, as well as dozens of other audiobooks. Her talent will be sorely missed in the CEO Series. If you don't want to hear more about Abby, Oh Well...

Abby's voice is like a warm hug and a mic drop, all in one! So, I merely had to continue on, trying to "keep an open mind", like some kind of audiobook "Zen Master", but let’s be real, those who are like minded and got this far in my review, well it is going to be tough. Abby, if you're out there, know that your fans are out here, bowing, clapping, and throwing imaginary roses at your feet. Long live the Queen!

I don't know how these women were able to walk.

Emily, you are making me squirm in my chair. You always do this to me. Ladies and gentlemen, you may want to wear thick undies when you buy and listen to this book. I'm sorry that I have to go, but it is not raining in my house yet I'm soaking wet
Love you girl, Jackson
