Enjoyable

This was an enjoyable, funny and steamy story. Loved the duo narration but was not a fan of the switching of voices. Each narrator took a chapter and did the voices of the characters, it kind of threw it off for me.

Light And Sweet With A Dose Of Humor And Steam!

Dirk And Autumn Both Feel Something When They Meet, But Neither Recognizes What Those Feelings Are.


Dirk R. Sexton, roughly thirty, works for his hard-to-please father. He runs several family-owned radio stations, working out of WQRK, Quirk-99 radio station in Indianapolis. His father claims Dirk has no business sense, that he is too preoccupied with women to properly mentor and lead his staff. Dirk simply believes that his father no longer remembers what it is like to be young and verile. His father went so far as to implement a no-fraternization policy, which might have bothered Dirk not long ago. Now, however, women have become boring. They all look the same - tall and thin with model-like looks - and they all have the same dull personalities. Dirk is ready for a commitment, but only with the right woman, and he isn't having any luck finding her. 

Autumn Dey, twenty-five, works at a 900 call-in service under the name Ramona. She perfected a sexy southern accent for the role. The online profile her potential clients see more closely resembles her fraternal twin and best friend Summer. Summer is a willowy blonde with blue eyes, a former cheerleader. Men flock to her, and she goes from relationship to relationship, always the one to break up when she eventially becomes bored. She never second guesses herself. Her self-confidence serves her well; she makes a killing in pharmaceutical sales. 

Autumn, in contrast, isn't as tall and has brown hair and eyes. She is big-boned with curves and was captain of the debate team. While she can be spunky and opinionated, she is also cautious, often observing rather than participating when in social settings. Her one advantage is her voice, something she has honed and perfected over the years. She majored in Communications in college, but somehow ended up working the 900 line. It happens to pay quite well, although it isn't the kind of job she talks openly about. Her clients are mostly horny, yet many call out of sheer loneliness. In those instances she, as Ramona, functions more like a therapist. She listens, gives her support, and offers advice. 

Autumn wants more. She wants to put her degree to work doing something that she can take pride in. When she sees that WQRK is looking for someone to take the midnight to three shift for a new call-in show called “Midnight Caller,” she jumps at the opportunity to audition. She lands the job on the spot, but what surprises her more is that she recognizes her handsome new boss's voice and matches him to her new client, Roland. The lonely but very shallow playboy that started calling Ramona recently - and is a newbie to using 900 numbers. 

When Dirk hires Autumn, he knows her talent will make "Midnight Caller" a huge hit, thereby proving his worth to his father. Autumn makes Dirk feel something strange but she isn't his type, and besides that, there is that no-fraternization rule. So when he sees Autumn's twin sister, who happens to be exactly his type, he doesn't think too much about it before asking her out. 

Dirk and Autumn both feel something when they meet, but neither recognizes what those feelings are. Dirk doesn't recognize his attraction to Autumn initially because she doesn't conform to his type. Out of habit, he dismisses the idea of being attracted to her. Autumn fails to recognize it because of her lack of self-confidence and because of Dirk's conversations with Ramona, which don't exactly paint him as a good catch. Even when they feel the stirrings jealousy, Dirk and Autumn are hesitant to recognize it for what it really is. But when things finally change in a fiery explosion of pent up energy, the issue of Autumn's side gig as Ramona threatens to put a real damper on their relationship. The couple eventually earns their happy ending.

Dirk and Autumn's story is light and sweet with a dose of humor and steam. It is well-written. The plot is fairly simple. The characters are nicely developed. It is written in first person. The POV alternates between Dirk and Autumn. I rate this book four stars. 

As for the Audio: it is nicely performed.

A Delightful Surprise

This book was a pleasant surprise. I didn’t know what to expect since this is a first for me by this author but I ended up really enjoying it. The story made me laugh out loud, cry and smile. I found myself Contemplating Autumn’s insecurity and really appreciating the author for her handling of the topic BBW so wonderfully. We women are too hard on us and each other for sure. I loved the female narrator however the male narrator sort of ruined the pleasure of the book. As a female he was awful. If the story wasn’t good I would have given up. The female narrator was spot on. Overall so worth listening to this!

Awesome!

I loved this book!! The story was amazing and I will def be looking for more from this author. The narration was okay but the male narrator definitely might want to change his female tone. Every female sounded like a whiney nasally valley girl.

1+900 📞 Phone Sex BFF’s

Okay, this was a cute and fun listen and a lot of credit goes to Team Cendese, married actors Alexander and Gabrielle Miller. A lot of talent there! Gabrielle pulls off a southern drawl as Autumn portrays Ramona, a 900 sex voice for extra cash. An interesting repeat client who wants nothing more than to talk ends up being her boss, who is dating her sister Summer. There are a lot of laughs and a HEA for everyone. Good Times had by all -LOL
