Resumen del Editor
She's a beauty, but he's just a geek.
The world might think billionaire Xavier Gaines has it all, but he's got a big problem. His successful software company is about to sign a government contract that'll land him smack in the glare of the public limelight, and his lifelong battle with social anxiety has marked him as a cold, uncaring bastard in the eyes of the press. To dispel the unflattering image, he needs help, and there's only one person he trusts with the job - Peyton Smoke. Gorgeous, kind, and funny, she agrees to be his media relations director and soon imbeds herself so deeply in his life, his world will crumble if anything upsets the balance. He cannot screw up their solid unit. No matter how achingly he desires her. Yet, how is he supposed to resist when she tugs emotions from him he didn't think he was capable of experiencing? Especially since it appears he's not the only one fighting their undeniable attraction.
Ever-after just might be possible...if he can convince her to believe in love again.
Peyton Smoke is looking for a change, and working at Gaines Industries has given her the boost she needs to fill the empty void in her life. Xavier is the perfect boss. Under his seemingly callous, frigid demeanor lies a compassionate man who cares about causes and those precious few he lets into his inner circle. What she wasn't prepared for is the smoldering passion suddenly flaring between them, nor the hot-as-sin alpha side beneath the layer of sexy nerd. Getting involved with him puts more than her job at risk. She's been trampled one too many times, and she vowed never to leave herself vulnerable again. But the heart wants what the heart wants. If only she can figure out whether his feelings are genuine or if this is a mistaken case of gratitude wrapped in lust, then their shot at forever may not seem like such a fruitless hope.

My name is Sebastian Lindstrom, and I'm the villain of this story. I've decided to lay myself bare. To tell the truth for once in my hollow life, no matter how dark it gets. And I can assure you, it will get so dark that you'll find yourself feeling around the blackened corners of my mind, seeking a door handle that isn't there. Don't mistake this for a confession. I neither seek forgiveness nor would I accept it. My sins are my own. They keep me company. Instead, this is the true tale of how I found her, how I stole her, and how I lost her.

Stella Lane thinks math is the only thing that unites the universe. She comes up with algorithms to predict customer purchases - job that has given her more money than she knows what to do with as well as way less experience in the dating department than the average 30-year-old. It doesn't help that she has Asperger's and that French kissing reminds her of a shark getting its teeth cleaned by pilot fish. She decides that she needs lots of practice - with a professional - which is why she hires escort Michael Phan.

From New York Times best-selling author Kim Karr comes a flirty new love story. The whole stethoscope-and-white coat thing isn't my cup of tea. I prefer a man with an artistic vein in his body and 9-to-5 hours. And I can definitely do without the half-lidded, sleepy bedroom eyes. (Okay, so those are kind of sexy.) Tall, dark, and handsome doesn't change the fact that he's arrogant, cocky, and rude. Not that I care, but he's made it clear he wants nothing to do with a quirky girl like me, which is why he said no. Turns out no isn't an option.

Of all the hospitals in New York City, he walks into mine. I know from the moment I see him that Alex Volkov is dangerous. He’s the kind of trouble from which every woman should run. The bullet his bodyguard took for him proves that. My attraction to him is not rational, not logical...but it’s too strong to resist. I tell myself it will be just one night. One night to step away from the stress of work, to give into temptation. But before I know it, he’s pulling me deeper into his world of excess and violence, invading not only my life but my heart.

For the first time in my life, I'm living for myself - not for my parents and their ridiculous expectations. I gave up on my MBA, dropped out of the Ivy League, and moved to Portland to pursue my dream of becoming an artist. And what's the first thing I do? Get knocked up. For a tatted-up sex god, Braxton Henley seems way too eager to "be there for me". Is this guy serious? Maybe. He sure is patient. Because he won't back down until I admit what I know in my heart: that our one-night stand might've led me to the one.

The Only One For Him
If you could sum up Counterbalance in three words, what would they be?
Prolonged Sexual Tension
What did you like best about this story?
The fact that Xavier and Peyton both were committed to each other as partners, friends, colleagues for so long.
Which character – as performed by Kory Getman – was your favorite?
Peyton was such a strong, intelligent and caring woman
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I so wanted Xavier to trust himself and his relationship with Peyton. He was so afraid to give in to his feelings. I believe that this character is developed as though he has Aspergers or a similar development where social cues are not appreciated.
Any additional comments?
I thought the voice actor did an excellent job and I absolutely didn't appreciate that there was only one person talking. The charactors were entirely believable. There was some sort of a little glitch at chapter 13 where there was a bit of an echo or difference in sound but this was not too distracting. Excellent presentation.

Terrible narration and editing
The story may be good but the narration was bad. I only listened to first chapter. His voice puts you to sleep and you can hear background noise.

Narrator was ok
This book won me over with Xavier! Xavier had always been socially awkward. As a smart geek he had been bullied in school. He could seem so cold and aloof but seemed to be actually suffering from social anxiety and in fact, had a huge and altruistic heart. I adored Xavier and Peyton. Peyton had already experienced far too many significant losses. She lost her entire family and fiancé over a short period. They were so sweet to each other, so considerate. I loved the heat they shared. as well as the underlying heat to their attraction, which later bloomed into steamy sensuality. I loved that we got to see this social awkward geek turn into a romantic alpha and was pure seduction.
My star removal was to do with the narrator and not the story. Getman's reading was a bit flat. I guess I wanted some more emotion, more infliction. There was also some odd bit with the audio in the middle. I'm sure it has been noted previously.

Great Story!
This was a great story about a geek gone billionaire who reaches out to his friend for help. Although Xavier had the brains and the looks to run a successful high tech company In San Francisco, he lacked the personality to carry it off. He reaches out to Peyton, an old high school friend who is a PR wizard to help him deal with his social anxiety.
The pace of this story surprised me. I didn't expect to do a two year leap but it worked and made sense. It's what made this story different from the rest. I liked that you got to see their relationship truly develop and to see Xavier come into his own. Being able to handle his anxiety. Where Peyton was the master of public relations, Xavier was the master of private relations. He was an alpha in the bedroom and that was hot. It's always the quiet ones.
I enjoyed this story and it was well performed. I only 4 stars for my overall rating due to some editing and sound issues that occur in the middle of the book. These things did not take away from the story. I was still fully engulfed in this story despite these things. Great story and one I will revisit.

Wonderful story
Is there anything you would change about this book?
No, I truly enjoyed the story itself. I like the way Xavier and Payton developed their relationship and really supported the each other's quirks. It's such a small thing, but the use of the word "honey" was refreshing. I feel like I hear the same endearments repeated in book after book after book.
Would you be willing to try another one of Kory Getman’s performances?
Unfortunately, no. The narration was entirely too flat, coupled with mispronunciations and over pronunciations. There was also an odd editing error in the middle.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
Sure! In typical Kelly fashion, she has built up the minor characters to be engaging as well. I'd love to see them depicted on the screen.
Any additional comments?
I would love to read a follow-up book, but will probably read rather than listen in order to correct more deeply with the characters.

Counterbalance
What made the experience of listening to Counterbalance the most enjoyable?
The story is the most enjoyable part. I didn't enjoy the narrator as much as I'd have liked to. For some reason there were too many mouth noises. (taking a breath, hesitating at times, almost like he had something in his mouth to keep it from getting dry etc.) It also seemed like there wasn't enough emotion and he was just reading it.
What did you like best about this story?
This story is so good. My emotions were all over the place. Written so well, it smoothly moved me from tears one moment, laughing out loud the next, swooning , holding my breath and then tense. A beautiful, heartwarming romantic story. Secondary characters were also entertaining and enjoyable.. The charity that they form, will pull at your heartstrings.
Did Kory Getman do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
Sorry, I really didn't care much for his reading of the characters. It was just average and not anything really exciting. :(
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Yes, when I read the book I felt several emotional moments,but honestly not when I listened to the audio.
Any additional comments?
Xavier and Peyton knew each other in high school. He was the class math geek and she was the class sweetheart that was nice to him even though nobody else was. They both went their own way after school and didn’t see each other for many years .Xavier went on to run his own company and become a billionaire but had major social anxiety and needed to try to convince Peyton to work for him because he knew she was just what the company needed. People misunderstood him. With her marketing talent, she could help him and the company.Kelly Moran has always been one of my MUST READ authors and this one is another excellent story she has given us.

One of my favorite authors!
Would you consider the audio edition of Counterbalance to be better than the print version?
I really like Kory's voice. It's sweet and quirky—a little young—but he has the right inflections for this type of geek gone billionaire story.
But just because you have a killer voice doesn't mean you have a killer performance. It happens to the best, and unfortunately, Counterbalance doesn't showcase Kory's strengths as a narrator.
In the beginning I really liked the monotonous tempo. This is one of my favorite Kelly Moran books, and I always pictured Xavier being this way. As I transitioned to the end of the book, I was craving a different style of narration; something with more emotion and vulnerability. I had a difficult time assimilating with Kory's interpretation of the characters near the climax even though the voices were done well.
There are some sound quality issues particularly background noise and I could hear Kory swallowing throughout the audiobook. In fact, maybe the sound quality is too good on this one. Kory also sounded thirsty... which made me really thirsty!... Hur hur. Thirsty for LOVE!
Kory Getman is a YES, but this isn't my favorite narration.
