The Senator's Widow

By: Aoibh Wood

Narrated by: Abby Craden

Unravel the threads of clandestine love and political intrigue in this captivating tale, where entangled hearts and hidden agendas collide, weaving a thrilling dance of romance and deception in the shadowy corridors of power.

In this tantalizing lesbian romantic thriller, Sarah Lou Rogers, a disgraced former Secret Service Agent, has sworn off love, finding refuge in fleeting, no-strings-attached encounters after a perilous affair left her life in shambles.

Miranda, known as the ‘Web Spinner of Washington, D.C.,’ is the unseen hand guiding her husband, ultra-conservative Senator Mitchell Reichert, to the threshold of the White House. Despite her sham marriage and a life filled with superficial pleasures, she can’t shake off the memory of one passionate afternoon with Sarah, an encounter she desperately tries to convince herself was just a fling. However, the tables turn when Mitchell is assassinated, and Miranda is named the prime suspect.

Now, on the run, she and Sarah find shelter in the serene and rugged beauty of Sarah’s childhood home, set deep in the mountains of Appalachian Kentucky. As they hide away in the serene landscapes, the echoes of their complicated pasts resurface, and the embers of their tryst catch flame.

In this tranquil mountain town, long-buried secrets are unearthed, and smoldering desires are ignited. As the shadows of their pasts intertwine, will Sarah and Miranda be able to explore their budding romance, or will the looming threats snuff out the sparks of their newfound connection and even their lives?

Intriguing story

I really enjoyed getting to see the character getting to know each other and the overall story had enough going on to keep me interested beyond just the romance itself.

absolutely wonderful

we definitely need another book to finish out the storyline. the book leaves you wanting more and I know I'm not the only one.

Fantastic story with another great performance by A. Craden

The Senator’s Widow is a fantastic story that follows Miranda and Sarah as they fight to stay alive and one step ahead of the forces that are trying to keep them quiet. Sarah is a bodyguard hired by Miranda for protection. While Miranda’s husband is set to make political headlines, she uncovers information that puts her life at risk. Protecting the supposed ultra conservative wife of an ultra conservative Senator has to be just a job for Sarah but dang it if Miranda isn’t gorgeous and one of the best of hours she’s ever spent with someone. Between the politics and the stereotypes lies a truth that both women seek to find. I didn’t particularly like Miranda but she grew on me as the story went along and she began to grow. Sarah seeks the truth behind what has Miranda running so scared and in danger of losing her life. Miranda seeks the truth of who she is and the strength within her to lift herself up, be who she is, and take what she truly wants. Abby Craden’s performance is masterful once again. Being from KY, the accent was terrific for Sarah throughout. The voices, the pace, the inflection, the entire performance package adds a cherry on top of this story with a great political thriller plot, character growth, and an authentic representation of hard working coal country.

Great Story

WAIT! Did I just miss it or something, what happened to Remington? This was a really fantastic story and I could have listened to another 7 hours.

The characters were excellent and the storyline kept me interested.

What a book. Thank you for the wonderful narration by the lovely Abby Craden. The accents really kept me wanting more from this book and excited about each chapter. Ms. Wood please continue to write. I will be reading more of your books.

Need a Sequel!! Great story! Fantastic dialogue! Abby Craden outdoes herself as narrator of the many different characters!

Excellent story and We definitely need a Sequel!!!! Can't ever go wrong asking Abby Craden to narrate a book!!!!

so fun.

i’ve been trying to get back into reading and trying my hand at queer stories and as an introduction, i was not disappointed! i absolutely love the dynamics between the characters and the way the relationships develop/break so well.

abrupt ending but otherwise v.good sapphic thriller

the last 20% felt rushed and the conspiracy at play seemed sorted too easily for the scope of power players associated with it. also major whiplash at that ending. it could use a sequel that does justice to the corruption depths implied and resolves the cliffhanger.

abby craden was bangjob awesome per usual as narrator and turns a B+ book into an A-

Great suspense

This was a great story. With a lot of action and suspense. A wonderful love story.

Really Good!!

I have to admit, I was debating on getting this book. I hadn’t heard from this author but I took my chances seeing that the GOAT was the narrator. I was very surprised to realize just how good this book was and of course narration was top notch as her usual! I definitely recommend this one and only wish I had listened to it sooner.
