The Hustler Next Door

Polson Falls, Book 2

De: K. A. Tucker

Narrado por: Tina Wolstencroft

From the international bestselling author of The Simple Wild and Ten Tiny Breaths comes a new stand-alone enemies-to-lovers, small-town romance.

Justine MacDermott is in what she would call a transition period: squatting in her best friend's house and working in an appliance store in Polson Falls while the man she was supposed to marry starts a new life with someone else.

She's definitely not thinking about slashing his tires and wishing his vital extremities would fall off.

When newcomer Garrett Harrington strolls into Murphy's Appliances looking to buy a refrigerator, Justine convinces herself she's found her rebound. Or the next love of her life. Either works. But a chance encounter leads her to discover that Garrett isn't who he made himself out to be, and he's more interested in hustling her kindly old boss out of his family business—and using her to do it.

Furious at being fooled by yet another man and itching for retribution, Justine enlists the help of unlikely townsfolk to battle Harrington Group's big-city development plans for Polson Falls.

It's all going to plan . . . until Justine finds herself crossing enemy lines.

Enjoyed this book!

I laughed out loud several times during this book. I like Justine’s character, she has no filter.

Unlike the other reviews, I thought the narration was good.

Save Your $$/Credit

I love the story!
Justine will have you laughing.
However, the narration is not the best. Her attempt at a fully-voiced reading was not good at all. It probably would've been better if it was unvoiced.
Also, the speed and sound of the narration is inconsistent. When I listened to the sample it seemed like the narration was tolerable.
So save your $$/credit and read the book.

The hustler next door

Justine was so much better as a supporting role. She’s so annoying on this book. The narration is so awful.

Loved the book, didn’t care for the narrator

I love K.A. Tucker’s books and I anxiously await each release. This book was no different. I have to say, the narrator wasn’t my favorite. In order to get through the book I had to play it at an increased speed. I might go back and read this book.

Stay true to yourself and love will come

I like how this book highlighted how one person telling you your too much or not "___blank__ " material doesn't mean that it's your truth. It's only true that it's their opinion of you, they don't have what it takes to be in relationship with you and that you're not the right person for them. Not that you're not the right person for anyone.
