This is two separate stories put in one book.
The first book was okay, just two short. Seems like it was rush to get to the end and certain things were just forced.
The second two was a bit better, but somewhat unrealistic. At times I found myself getting lost in the narratives. I expected more from each stories.

Need a new voice
What disappointed you about Heist?
The woman who narrated the first story! Hard to listen to her.
What do you think your next listen will be?
Anything but her
Would you be willing to try another one of Beresford Bennett and Celeste Graham ’s performances?
No
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Heist?
How she got back with the guy who set her husband up

Not What I Expected
After reading reviews on Kiki Swinson I was looking forward to her story but was very disapointed. I felt the plot was not realistic. What man would ask his woman to put her life in danger over a chancy heist? And why didn't he put the clues together sooner that there was an insider? And all the twists at the end seemed over the top to me.
I enjoyed the book by De'nesha Diamond much more. It felt more realistic and I didn't find myself zoning out during this book. It's not my favorite story of hers but it was the better of the two.
Overall, I don't know that I would reccomend this book to a friend.
