Business Not As Usual

De: Sharon C. Cooper

Narrado por: Marcella Cox

A woman learns the hard way about mixing business with pleasure in this hilarious new romantic comedy by USA Today bestselling author Sharon C. Cooper.

I am beautiful. I am confident. I am lovable. I am a lottery winner.

This is the mantra that will get Dreamy Daniels through each day until she makes it big. So what if she lives in a seedy part of Los Angeles in a house that’s one earthquake away from crumbling, or works an unfulfilling secretarial job while struggling to finish her bachelor’s degree? All Dreamy needs to do is win the lottery, which she’s been entering in as a weekly tradition with her grandfather. When she catches the attention of her boss’s potential investor, Dreamy has to remind herself to focus on her career goals so she can be her own boss. Who cares if he has the social grace of the Duke of Sussex and the suaveness of Idris Elba? No distractions allowed.

Growing up with a father who is an A-list actor and a socialite mother, venture capitalist Karter Redford lives in the world of the rich and famous. Instead of attending movie premieres, however, he prefers spending his time helping the less fortunate, backing start-up companies and investing in cutting edge ideas. Karter is used to his life revolving around work, but when he decides he wants someone to share it with, he falls for someone his mother would never approve of: hilarious, quirky Dreamy, who has goals of her own…but also isn’t a wealthy, upper-crust socialite. Though it’s clear they’re from different worlds, their relationship might just be his greatest investment yet.

Beautiful Love Story

A nice story with beautiful characters. I love the story of the couple and their journey to love.

The black woman finally has a happy ending

I love the way this book was well thought out and lighthearted. It displayed the various backgrounds African Americans come from. This book gave a wandering heart hope for love, success, and happiness. Displaying that troubles don't last always and we must continue believing in ourselves even when people laugh at us. I absolutely loved the voice over. It made the book easier to listen to. I'm thankful the person reading the book was not monotone. She was lively and helped the book be as interesting as it was supposed to be. Great job ladies.

Fun story

I enjoyed the colorful characters. The narrator was good. The story itself had me laughing and cheering .

What a beautiful, powerful, funny, engaging, real story

So much is right about this book. Thanks to the author for writing it and the narrator for bringing it to life. The character, Dreamy, and everyone that orbited her, were honest, flawed, beautiful, strong, not strong, perfect, and relatable. The story kept me engaged from beginning to end. Exploration of self and family relationships was powerful.

Sexy, Loving, Funny!! Great Story.

Overall this is a great book. loved the story, kept me laughing, and even had me blushing a Lil bit. My only critique would be the narrator having a bit more feeling and intonation in her delivery. i.e. if it says someone is laughing or yelling while talking then the narrators voice should reflect that, but instead she kept a flat tone when reading those lines. Other than that, AMAZING!!
