Publisher's summary

Gabriella Starr has silk suits, champagne tastes, and a great new career. She also has a strange man following her around Boston. Two of them, actually. When she tries to chase down the first, she encounters the second - ex-cop and new D.A. Cam Yaeger. He's sure she's in trouble, but Gabriella bristles when he offers to help. She's way too attracted to him, and it's not like her to go for law-enforcement types anyway. She's far too independent, too naturally defiant. And she's spent too many nights in jail....

Cam Yeager likes cold beer, his Bruins sweatshirt, and shaving every other day. He knows all about Gabriella Starr, her eccentric father, and their years rescuing rare, endangered orchids no matter the stakes. Now something shady is going on in Boston. And something explosive is hovering on the horizon as well: the wild fireworks of two intense opposites falling in love....

Quit listening; couldn’t finish

When questioned about her dad being attacked & her boss still questioned her, then she dropped the issue about the attack, I quit listening. That was the compelling evidence. It became stupid after that.

Fun mystery with a love story thrown in

This was a fun read for a summer day. The characters are well developed and relatable. I am not a huge orchid fan but this did become a fun feature in the story.

Good story

The only criticism I have is that, when there is a scene change without starting a new chapter, there is almost no pause. It was confusing when it involved new characters suddenly talking - - seemingly in the middle of the old characters’ conversation.

not my favorite

This story could have been shorter by about a chapter or so if the author didn't have to use the characters first and last names over and over and over.

Good story, but a little lengthy

I enjoyed the premise of the story, and I loved the characters very much. However, I felt like it took to long to get to the point. But overall as a whole it was a very good story.

nicely done

well written not too wordy the characters were developed nicely it's nice to have a hero and I heroin working together.

Could not get into

I really don’t like giving bad reviews but I could not get into this story. I was so bored and the plot was not very captivating.

Slow up front

Tedious. If it had been a purchase it would have been returned. 10 chapters were so painful and just a demonstration of how to fill out a story fir length.

Last half FINALLY a story for us. It turned 3 D but very covid friendly…. Not a full cast or of interest. Probably a short story that was fleshed out in an effort to make it a book.

Interesting But.....................

I enjoyed the narration by Cassandra Livingston. The overall story was good and I won't spoil the ending. However, I could not get over how she always felt she had to answer Cam's questions as if he had rights for all information. It was as if she owed him explanations. I found this to be off putting. The attraction and love interest I understand as part of the story. Everyone relates to characters differently. I did not relate to Cam at all.

Twists Turns and Corruption plus Attraction

I wasn’t sure about the solo narration and the narrator at first, however everything fit after a couple chapters…and I finished listening in two days.

On the edge at the end!
