Story4.5 out of 5 stars 428
From the time he was a boy in Georgia, LC Duncan, patriarch and leader of the Duncan clan, has battled racism. Even now that he and his family are truly successful, the racism can still be in-your-face. Maybe it's the political climate or perhaps it's just bad timing, but LC and the rest of the Duncans are being challenged by the ultimate power-hungry racist, Sheriff KD Shrugs.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 980
Morgan Atkins is used to losing, but losing Messiah Williams was the most tragic of them all. Surely, after Messiah, no other man could compare. Settling with Sebastian Fredrick didn't seem like such an impossible task. He treated her well enough, he accepted her children, and he offered her entrance into a well-connected world. There was only one problem: He wanted to change her into someone else. The rules that went along with his lifestyle suffocated her, and when Morgan reconnected with Messiah's crew, she no longer wanted to play by Bash’s rules.

Six months before aging out of foster care, 17-year-old Tori meets a local hustler who makes her an offer she can’t refuse. At first, she enjoys the benefits of being Ricky’s “new girl,” but it’s not long before he’s looking for a return on his investment. After a confrontation with Ricky spirals out of control, Tori goes on the run. Halfway across the country, she meets Dana, a street-wise woman in a similarly desperate situation. The two become quick friends and hatch a plan to move to Reno. But soon Tori is on her own again - and out for revenge.

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.

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!

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.
