Awakening

By: Bailey West

Narrated by: Sable Lyn, Midnite Michael

Kemuel Azar and Queenie Montgomery have had a strong bond since they first formed a friendship in high school. Working together on a class project, they grew closer, finding common ground in their mutual appreciation of construction and interior design.

With their bond cemented, they graduate college and work in their respective fields for King Construction, Kemuel's family business. As they anticipate the change in ownership from Kemuel's grandfather to Kemuel, a sense of excitement fills the air, but it is tempered by the condition attached. For Kemuel to become the owner of the company, it is a requirement that he marry Queenie. Faced with the prospect of losing the family business, Kemuel and Queenie agree to the arrangement. Will the marriage arrangement strengthen their bond or destroy it?

Love

You write the best wedding. This was a good book. Kay really loved her and wanted her lol. His grandfather was the best. Friends to lovers story that I enjoyed.

This was a good love story

I enjoyed the growing friendship turned relationship between Kem and Queen. I even loved the supporting characters throughout. Midnight Michael is becoming one of my favorite male narrators. I had to give the overall and performance a lower rating because I'm not feeling Sable. She has a nice voice but her narration needs more work. She doesn't give where it should be giving and that takes away from the character.

Kem and Queenie

This was a sweet story that stretched over twenty years. Best friends and reluctant spouses. I loved getting to know the entire family, especially their son, Jay. Well done. And the narration was good.

Lovely Path to Love

This was a nice romantic story with lots of laughter. Ms. Sable has a beautiful voice but she doesn't read well. Her cadence is odd and her inflections are out of place

A true awakening

Excellent listen. The narration really bought this book to life. Queenie and Kemuel were mint to be together.
