Asha's life is no fairytale, by any stretch of the imagination. There was no kind, generous father to care for and protect her from the Vegas that exists beyond the glitz and glamour of The Strip. No wise, doting mother to look over and guide her, passing down essential lessons and leading her to the right path. And certainly, no Prince Charming just around the corner, ready to rescue her from working late nights to cover steadily mounting bills.

Publisher's Summary
Yara Moreland was a complex woman, full of mystery, compassion, and way too much love. She would do anything for her husband, including going to jail for 10 years. When she's released, things aren't the same, and she's left confused and wondering who's to blame.
Kamala Crawford is madly in love with Kadeem. She's counting down the days until his wife is released from prison so that he can divorce her and they can get married and live happily ever after.
Kadeem Moreland's mind is somewhere lost in the jungle. He fails miserably at being a father to his three children, leaving them in the care of his mother.
Is She the Reason gives you perspective from everyone included in this love triangle. Will karma keep Kamala's wishes from coming true? Will Yara seek revenge on her husband? Or will she realize that their love was never real to begin with?
National best-selling author Nako is back with a spellbinding novel that captures the attention and hearts of her listeners.
Author's note: Is She the Reason is a full-length stand-alone. Characters were previously mentioned in Giselle: Creme de la Creme. However, you do not have to listen to the story to enjoy Is She the Reason.

Inspiring Story of Renewal
Yara is an outstanding character who possesses a quiet, understated strength. She went through absolute hell and got more than a little bit of karma. In the end, she fought hard to redeem herself and recaptured who she was truly meant to be. What a wonderful story! The narrator was a little extra sometimes but he tried... it didn’t take away from the story too much.

Good story, Not a good narrator for THIS story
This was a really good story but really annoying that the reader kept pronouncing "chile" as "chil-é" also his voice was just not apealing for this particular story and as you can see in my review it overshadowed the story.

Great story
This was my first time trying and audiobook and it was good. The story was very relatable. Yara went through so much but she didn’t let that stop her from being great in life.
