Pretty Little Mess

De: Carmel Rhodes

Narrado por: Lacy Laurel, Connor Crais

I’m having an out-of-body experience. At least...I think. Isn’t that what it’s called when your spirit abandons you to watch - from a safe distance, with the appropriate amount of judgement - while you make questionable decisions?

Yup, one of those.

I want to shout, “Stop, Ellie, don’t do it!” But spirit me doesn’t have a voice. So I watch as she...I...we? - makes a sex contract with her...our...new boss.

This is a good time to mention the 45-minute HR meeting we sat through last month expressly forbidding this sort of thing.

In our defense, Max is ridiculously hot, and I...we may have accidentally quit.

With a sigh, I look down at the bodies pressed against the wall of the executive office.

Yup, we’re totally screwed.

The comments said one thing but I feel another way

I love this book the male narrator was so awesome. The female narrator was good also, I think she did a fantastic job. I heard her before and once you get use to her reading style she really is good. The author I ♥️ her thought process.

narration on point!

this is my 2nd favorite, Truly is my ABSOLUTE FAV.... Truly was my 1st multicultural audible, which made Lacey my favorite narrator .. loved Ellie and Max chemistry it was like Truly and Noah's chemistry... please write more books like these!

OMG! I’m Breathless! I Loved It!

Pretty Little Mess by Carmel Rhodes Narrated by Lacy Laurel & Connor Crais

This story took me by storm and spun me around and around like the wind in The Wizard of Oz. Fortunately for me when I landed, a house wasn’t on top of me but I was breathless and wanting more.

Set in beloved NYC, the descriptions of the subways and Brooklyn had me grinning with memories. The sounds, the smells....Carmel Rhodes nailed it, she captured the hustle and bustle of that dynamic city.

Max aka P3 is a dick of the most delicious kind. Ellie is sweet a little naive but can definitely hold her own up against his ego...and thus bring him to his knees...literally.

With the back drop of finance management banking, the fashion world, throw in some cuisine and mind boggling sex its all one could hope for....at least this girl..(insert smirk emoji)

As for the narration... Wow!
Lacy Laurel & Connor Crais knocked it out the park! Gold medals for them both! They took Carmel Rhodes words & vision and infused so much life into it. I want more..much much more!

Funny, flirty, fabulous.

Pretty Little Mess speaks for itself. Rhodes, Laurel and Crais are a breath of fresh air in a time of uncertainty. Max and Ellie are a riot. Each time I thought I couldn't laugh any harder, I was proven wrong yet again. Ellie is the queen of bad choices and Max is her latest. When the heart and hormones collide, things go from bad to worse. Funny, flirty, fabulous.

Decent story, but the hero is a douchebag

This author managed to weave an intriguing, page turning, character developing romance with a seriously dark anti-hero with the book "Truly". I was anxious to look for another Carmel Rhodes dark romance novel with a black heroine and found "Pretty Little Mess". I liked the heroine, Ellie, and related to her in some ways, but the hero, Max, was way too crass for me to care about (and that's saying something after reading "Truly"). It was hard for me to accept him as an intimidating businessman. It doesn't seem like he can put a filter on his fratboy mouth long enough to charm the clients he supposed to have racked up. You forget that there is a ten year age gap between the couple. I did enjoy some of Max and Ellie's banter. I also want to say that I loved that we had an older couple developing a sweet relationship towards the end. I actually would read a story about Graham and Max's mother. Overall, I enjoyed the book enough to make it through despite Lacy Laurel's annoying purring through the words and Max's immature dialogue. Kudos to Connor Crais for having clear and distinctive voices for all of the characters.
