Resumen del Editor

Somebody is out to destroy Elle Simpson and everything she's worked hard to build. As the CEO of a corporate conglomerate, Elle is used to fighting off challengers. However this new threat comes at a time when she finally lets her guard down to meet Prince Charming. And it's unlike anything she's been up against before.

Drake Charles' work on mobile technology has made him a wealthy, powerful man. But he quickly sheds the fame and publicity for a more private life, which earns him the label of a man of mystery. Drake adds to that mystery every year when he hosts a masquerade ball for charity. It's also his best chance to find the one thing he really wants: true love.

Having met behind masks of anonymity, Elle and Drake enjoy a whirlwind night of romance that leaves them both wanting more. But Elle must question everything and everyone as she battles to save her life and career. Can Elle trust Drake to help get her life back, or will she lose everything?

Any additional comments?

It was a very inspiring story for women, and it was a comedy to

Feminism grade: A+

While the beginning feels a bit rushed, the rest of the novel is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Loved every single moment of this novel!!! I actually listened to it all at once. It's that addicting!

Well done!!!!

I already read this book so I loved it so having it as a audio book was a no brainer the narrator did an excellent job.

Wonderful..

Any additional comments?

Love, love, loved this book. The story was simply fabulous, as were the characters. Drake and Elle were such a dynamic couple. Not once were either of them wishy-washy or weak or wimpy. One of the best power couples I’ve ever read about. And, wow, they met at a masquerade party and fell in love immediately. It was just awesome.
Loved her family: Reid, Bree, Allegra, and Mom. Absolutely loved Shirley, that woman was sure lovable and crazy. Loved Jessica (great secretary) and Mary (after a while.)
I loved how she took over Titan. That was sooo funny. Those asinine old men.
And, finally, the bad guys found out that weren’t much when they went up against Drake and Elle. They got their butts kicked, that’s for sure.

As for the narrator. Amy McFadden is always great. Her men all sound pretty much the same but at least they sound like men, sexy men, too. And she reads with emotion: whispering, crying, laughing, whatever is called for, she does. Love her.

finally

a book with a power couple who respect each other and don't try to see who can dominate the other. FINALLY.

Recommended

A good story if not a bit predictable. A good introduction to the series.

Main characters are likable and loyal. Looking forward to the next story.

I loved it you have to listen to the book it was

I love it I couldn't turn it off it kept my attention the whole time..and then I told everyone else to listen. loved it

Good story

I first read this series when it was released. Then I hot the audio version. I listened to the series once and that was enough . The voices are terrible. Please have it re-released with a different narrator. I listen to Eric G Doves books again and again and enjoy every time. I would like to be able to do that with this series but the screeching voices drive me crazy . I am a die hard fan of Kathleen Brooks but not this irritating sound version.

Uneven

Where does Chosen for Power rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Better than some, not as good as others.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

The story start as Cinderella then moves into a business takeover and identity theft. A more plausible romance or getting immediately into the intrigue with the romance as background would have made more sense.

Have you listened to any of Amy McFadden’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes. I like Amy McFadden except when she does a Booklyn accent.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No. It didn't grab me initially.

Chosen for Power

I like women with power. This book is a breath of fresh air. I enjoyed every minute of it. Family, friends and business made this a favorite.
