The Practitioner

By: Ronica Black

Narrated by: Brittni Pope

Johnnie Hamilton has conquered a lot in life. An anxiety disorder, loss of her business, and homelessness have been difficult to overcome. But Johnnie has come through the other side to find success as an artist. Now, however, she's lost her creative drive and she's struggling to produce.

Elaine Taylor has an interesting job. She's a “creative practitioner”, known to awaken her clients' creative side by using many different approaches, including a sensual or sexual approach. Most of her clients are male and she likes it that way. Women are the last thing she wants in her life, having lost the most important woman she's ever known, her wife.

Fearing she'll lose all she's worked so hard for, Johnnie takes her friend's advice and calls a lone number on a business card, steps into Elaine's office, and shakes up both their worlds forever.

On the fence with this book!

Overall, the book was decent. The premise was an interesting one to begin with, but I became exhausted with the book towards the last third of it. The characters had good depth and great chemistry up front, but seemed to wash out as the book went on. They went on a journey that seemed to not fit with the rest of the book and didn't make sense to me, almost like two different stories mashed together. The narrator, on the other hand, was fabulous! I could listen to her all day!

God I love Brittni Pope

I also love the deep connection these two shared I wish they hadn’t had to hurt each other so much along the way.

Meh

Its not a bad book and neither good. If you are bore listen to it. There is steamy sex.

Different perspective

This book takes you on a journey encourage you to be more mindful and empathetic. We all have different experiences and it shapes us in different ways. Everyone works through things differently. Most times the path isn't straightforward. Meeting that special someone that encourages you to do the hard work can have positive results.

loved it!

I really enjoyed this audiobook! if I could have, I would have finished it in one day (instead of two). so, there's a sexy artist who is in a rut, in need of... inspiration. the artist gets talked into trying a practitioner to help get those creative juices flowing again. there's an instant attraction for both women, but that's just the beginning. the story has sad moments and lots of soul searching/healing, and sex. this audiobook was much more than I expected. I will look up other books by this author.
