So Carlotta Wren's life hasn't turned out as she'd planned. She didn't plan for her parents to skip bail for a white-collar crime, leaving her to raise her brother. She didn't plan on having the silver spoon ripped from her mouth and forgoing college to work retail. She didn't plan on her blue-blood fiancé dumping her. And she didn't plan on still being single 10 years later, working at Neiman Marcus, with no idea where her fugitive parents are. But she's coping. Until -

Learn to pronounce the dang word!

Honestly, everytime I heard the narrator say the word "garage" I wanted to punch her in the face with my foot. It was distracting and really took away from the story, since whenever she said it I thought about it for at least 30 seconds and missed whatever came next in the story.

What exactly is a geraj?

I enjoyed this book and I also enjoyed the narrator. Her voices were wonderful and I knew who was who for the most part. But I wondered if English was a second language or if she was from a different country. Her pronunciation of certain words (and there were several) drove me crazy. Garage was the worst one and she pronounced it geraj. Every. single. time!! How did no one catch this? The story was good, the plot was a little weak, but overall it was entertaining and I would recommend it. Anyone who might be interested, there was some language but not a lot and there was very few sexy scenes and those were PG 13 at best.

It was not funny at all, just sad

I felt very sorry for the main character through the whole book. The reviews called it funny. There was no funny for me. The heroine was so mired down in horrible situations that you could not see ANY happy ending for her. I don't think I will continue with the series.

Great story, but-

I would have enjoyed the story more if narrated with a Southern accent rather than...maybe this is a Chicago accent?
Where is it that people pronounce the second syllable or garage to rhyme with the word “badge”. Might not be so bothersome if the word didn’t happen to occur over and over and over in this book. Not sure I will make it through another book with this narrator. PLEASE GET A NEW VOICE FOR THIS SERIES!

This is a mystery for adults

This is the first mystery I've ever read that is on the spicy side. Nothing gross but it is sexy.
The narrator is very good but her pronunciation of the word "garage" bugs me to pieces! Ugh!
But listen anyway because it's a great story and I can't wait to listen to the next one!

New favorite Author

After reading all my favorites ,I was looking for something to help me get through my long commutes. I loved this book ! I love Stephanie’s story telling abilities. I was hooked from the first chapter! My only issue was with the narrator,and some of the “voices” she used for a couple of the characters. I’m now searching for Book 2.

love this series.

but the cost is too much. I've read these books before so it's been awhile. they're priced like they're new books

if u like stephanie plum ull enjoy this

I love the lady reading the book even with the weird pronunciation of garage.

good book, loveable characters, will listen to more!

Great Story But Wrong Narrator

Story Based in ATL, But the narrator has clearly never been out of New England. I agree 100% with other reviewers, the pronunciation of the word "garage" was like nails on a chalkboard. Why Hannah sounds like a ditzy Valley Girl I dont know. Enjoyed the story itself.

Love Stephanie Bond

I love all of these books but what killed it for me is the narrator just isn’t a good
