By: Nana Malone

Narrated by: Traci Odom

Length: 6 hrs and 36 mins

Publisher's Summary

What's worse than having to watch your sister marry your ex-fiancé? How about when that fiancé fires you from the family business?

Hyper-organized, event planner, Jaya Trudeaux is used to doing things by the book and never making waves. It's a strategy that's served her well until she finds herself in failure alley with no fiancé, no job and her thirtieth birthday looming. Maybe it's time to change her methods. Starting with an unlikely date to the wedding from hell.

The only thing that can tie carefree, playboy, Alec Danthers down is his formidable step mother. When she calls him home to help find his wayward brother, he never imagines an uptight, list making, sass-talking woman would make him think about putting down roots.

Can Jaya put the lists down long enough to enjoy the ride that is Alec? Will Alec stop running long enough to recognize true love?

Warning: Sexy, sass talking women will make you laugh, cry and want a pair of killer footwear.

I laughed in several spots. But Jaya kicked up a storm.

Any additional comments?

Jaya Trudeaux is a sassy, list making woman who tames a carefree globe trotter. She gets fired from the family business after her x-boyfriend tries to scoop her account. He is conniving and sleazy and turns around and gets engaged to her sister. Her father upholds her firing but does not explain to her why.
She meets Alec who has been called home to help locate his step brother by the only person who could get him to come home. His step mother. You will have to listen to the book to find out why she can make him do what no one else could. That is until he meets and falls head over heels in love with Jaya.
Will love conquer all and tame Alec and see Jaya set on a course to owning her own business rather than being under her fathers thumb? Does the sleaze bag get fired? Great story. Lots of sex though. Maybe too much for me but maybe not for you. There are some interesting positions described.

Good story but should be listed under Erotica

The story was pretty good and kept me interested but because of the descriptive nature of the sexual encounters, this audiobook should probably be listed under the Erotica category.

The narrator did a pretty good job. I would like to listen to some more books she has done.

Alec is a wealthy man but he lets Jaya think he is a bartender. He is only supposed to be in town for a couple of weeks but he meets someone that makes him question his lifestyle.

Jaya is fired from her family company and is trying hard to find a new job but nobody is returning her emails or phone calls. Someone is trying to keep her from succeeding. Jaya gets involved with Alec. What was supposed to be a one night stand leads to much more than they both expected.

HOT, desperate and sexy

Would you try another book from Nana Malone and/or Traci Odom?

Yes, the book was good. Some of the terms was off putting because its not a realistic word used by normal people. "Hanky panky"

What other book might you compare Sexy in Stilettos to and why?

Typical romance book but more steamy than most.

How could the performance have been better?

The accents of some of the characters were very strange. The father was really out there.

Could you see Sexy in Stilettos being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

It would be an adult film if it was made into a movie. WAY to hot and steamy for a movie theater showing.

Any additional comments?

Really good read. Loved the story. predictable but the sex scenes were legit.

Really enjoyable & hot

This was my first listen/story by this author, and I really enjoyed it. I would've liked for the narrator to sound more convincingly African-American (recognizing all Black people don't sound the same) to lend more authenticity to the telling. But, overall, the narrator still did a good job. But, in this instance, the narrator didn't carry the story; the story was good on it's own. And the narrator did it justice in large part. I really enjoyed the humor and heat most of all. It had small instances of explicit language, very very briefly. And the ending was a bit unconvincing, but I love love so.... I will look for this author again.

Sexy in Stilettos by Nana Malone

I really liked Sexy in Stilettos by Nana Malone. The story was fun, sexy, had a little mystery and danger and we'll developed and likable characters. I listened to the audio version and the narrator was excellent. Great at making each characters voice unique and read at a smooth pace with just the right amount of emotion when called for. I'm definitely interested in more from this author. 4.5 stars.

Good read

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Nope

Any additional comments?

The book was okay. It seems to me that the love interests of this particular genre is usually emasculated or close to it. While I read the books for the love story and what could be, I'd like there to be some realism in the story. A common theme I notice (in other books as well) is the over-bearing, over exaggerating, unwilling to listen, dead set in her way, always feels like the victim, female protagonist of the story.

super cute

super cute. loved the plot and story line. freaking adorable book. gotta read more of her books

Unbearable narration!

I could not even get past chapter 4 because this narrator is better suited for children's stories on the Disney channel. Her voice totally changes the dynamic of what is probably a decent storyline. Unfortunately, I will never know because I cannot listen to any more of this book or any other books that she has narrated. Thankfully it was included in the Romance package and I did not have to pay or use a credit for it.
