Publisher's summary
Tracie Howard and Danita Carter’s previous joint effort, Revenge Is Best Served Cold, has been praised by Booklist as “consistently compelling”, and Essence proclaims it a “glitzy romp.”
In this tale of secrets and style, a wealthy Wall Street investment banker, Lyle Johnson, seems to have found an ideal business partner in Tess Aventura Dubois. She is a wealthy widow who has just moved back to New York City with enough cash to make his bar a swinging night spot. But behind her glamorous facade, lays a disturbing secret that could be Lyle’s downfall.

When she arrives at the idyllic getaway, she’s pleased to find that the owner is a handsome man by the name of Calvin Wells—and he’s eager to introduce her to his easygoing way of life.

She may not know if she’ll still have her agony aunt column next month, or if her love life will ever be more exciting than a midnight swipe right, but Lucie would rather exhaust herself than let Stacey down on her Big Day. Not even Charlie, the insufferably attractive and hateful best man, can get in her way. Before the flight touches down in Spain, Lucie is hit with a curveball. Sat next to world-famous psychic Miranda Bloom, she’s told she’ll leave the wedding with the love of her life.

Captivating
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. The story had a lot of drama in it. The author gave a good profile of each character so that it was easy to relate to them - even if you didn't like them.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Success Is the Best Revenge?
Tess Aventura Dubois' rise and fall.
Have you listened to any of Ezra Knight’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Great as usual. He is such a good narrator that I sometimes search for books under his name.
If you could rename Success Is the Best Revenge, what would you call it?
Now the tables turn.

Earlicious!
It is so refreshing to finally hear a good book. Everything about this book was superb -- from the character development, plot twists, storyline and suspense. And on top of all that, I got to enjoy Ezra Knight's sexy voice for hours at a time. All good things must come to an end, but I anxiously await another book by the authors. Bravo!
