Loaded

A Holiday Romance

By: Kilby Blades

Narrated by: Tim Paige, Nicole Lewis

When billionaire Marsh's octogenarian grandmother summons him home for an urgent family dinner, he dreads being force-fed every embarrassing truth about his family he's tried to forget. Never mind that Thanksgiving weekend was when he planned to propose to his girlfriend, Jada, who knows nothing of the nine-figure fortune Marsh has hidden her away for years.

But the money may be the least of his problems - there's a reason why he's never brought Jada to Connecticut. The Brewsters are the special brand of crazy reserved for the ultra-rich. Subjecting his woke Black girlfriend to his stuffy old-money family seems like the least romantic way to kick off his proposal weekend. And after his family's shenanigans, will Jada even say yes?

That was a treat for the ears, I really enjoyed it. New to me author gave me a taste and now I want more.
The mysterious entrance of Maw Maw was fun.
Marsh sure kept a lot of secrets I don’t blame Jada for being a bit hurt by it all. It wasn’t like they were just dating it has been a while.
The ending makes me want more!
Fantastic narration both voice fit the characters perfectly.

Really enjoyed it!!

Loaded by Kilby Blades is absolutely amazing. I Highly Recommend this story to all readers.

Cute, quick love story!!

Tim and Nicole do a great job narrating the story and bringing the characters to life. Jada is strong, confident with an honest sophistication and definitely has no problem holding her own. Marsh despite being from old money, is down to earth and relatable. Together, they are great and I was drawn into their story. But Mama, the family matriarch stole the show for me. She is real and simply hilarious!! Would love to see more of these characters.

3.5 ⭐️s - short and sweet

I received to an advanced review copy of the audiobook narrated by Tim Paige and Nicole Lewis, who were both excellent. Paige is a favorite and gave his usual best. Lewis was new to me, and she was just lovely; I can’t wait to hear more from her.

This was an enjoyable TG holiday novella; the central couple is well-matched and I enjoyed them as individuals. If anything, I wish there was more of this book so that there was time to see each more fully fleshed out; the same goes for some of the secondary characters, like Marsh’s parents. It’s the curse of the novella that, though they’re quick and low angst, there’s little room for character development. Still, the writing was very well done and made me interested in seeking more books by Blades because I really like her style.

Short,Sweet & Entertaining

This was a short and definitely Loaded holiday romance! First time listening to Kilby Blades and this was a nice treat. I enjoyed the dual POV of Marsh and Jada and sorta wished it was full story about their romance. Marsh takes Jada to meet his family but he hasn’t told her about he comes from one of the wealthiest families in Connecticut. The family dinner is intense, but Jada can hold her own and surprisingly wins the respect and approval of the matriarch of Brewster family. This was a short, funny, and sweet romance with a few twists & turns thrown in. The ending gives hints to a spin off story, so hope to read more about that. The narration was great! It was my first time listening to Nicole Lewis and she was great as Jada, bringing out the sass and charm. Tim Paige’s performance as Marsh was perfect. They wonderful to listen to!
