Vested Interest

A Reverse Harem Romance (The Code, Book 1)

By: Bethany Jadin

Narrated by: Lisa Zimmerman, Kale Williams

Length: 5 hrs and 40 mins

Publisher's summary

A rebel artist, a tech genius, and three former Marines.

Multiple companies are vying for my new security software, but when the men of Pentabyte turn their attention on me, it seems they want more than just my code. They're at the top of their game - intelligent, driven, wealthy - and they have me thinking maybe I want more, too. But everything I've worked for is on the line. Do I dare to mix business with pleasure when the stakes are this high?

Vested Interest is audiobook one of the Code, a reverse harem continuation series of five full-length novels with heart, humor, heat, and an action suspense story line that gathers in intensity with each audiobook. You'll find a strong woman and five intriguing men, each with his own quirks, wounds, and desires - but their focus is all on her.

There's Jude, the quintessential alpha, always calmly in control. His twin brother, Jax, the mysterious one with a hungry gleam in his eyes. Trigg, the athlete and sweetheart who carries his battle scars quietly. The dashing gentleman, Daniel, with a brilliant mind and refined charm. And Gunner, the youngest of the group and the life of the party.

Audiobook one is a deliciously slow-burning novel full of tension and chemistry that will tease, tempt, and probably torment you, but buckle up, because things are about to get sizzling hot - and dangerous....

The Code series:

1. Vested Interest
2. Hidden Agenda
3. Broken Process
4. Risky Business
5. Perfect Design

Each audiobook in the series picks up where the previous one left off, and they must be listened to in order for the story to make sense. There are a few cliff-hangers from story to story, but by the end of the series, everything comes to a very satisfying conclusion.

Love without limits. #whychoose

Loved it!

My first audible book, I loved how it came to life with voices. Definitely will be getting the rest of the series.

A smart woman

I loved going into this story . Emma is the kind of nerd I hope to be . The guys are drool worthy and the dual narration did them justice . we get A entire set of interesting side characters that I hope to learn more about .A cliff hanger won't keep me from continuing the series but I hope to get the next books in audio also .

Vested Interest

I have read these books when they were first released on Amazon and I have been waiting for them to become Audible books. These are awesome storylines and Bethany Jadin makes her characters come alive. Now I can't wait till the rest are released.

Great!

Interesting story and I want the next one now! 😂 I can’t wait to see what happens next. Lisa Zimmerman and Kale Williams are fantastic narrators. They deliver it with passion.

Captured the story perfectly

Emma's intelligence & insecurities, Gunner's exuberance, Daniel's elegance. Audiobook captured everything that made this book special.

great read

I received this book for free for a honest review. I loved this story. i loved the confident, assured heroine. The story line was smooth and easy to follow. it was kept together very well. the narrator did not disappoint and brought the characters to life.

Nail biting

Loved this series in book form so I said I would try audible for it and found 1 of series so far and will be trying to track down the others from author hopefully

Interesting listen

This story was great! The plot and characters were very interesting. My only complaint is that it is being considered a reverse harem but there is nothing sexual in this book except for tension. I will definitely continue the series because the story is great, I just hope things will heat up in the next book.

The narration was good. I wish there was a little more distinction between the voices for the male characters but that would be hard with there being so many.

Just the start of the story

I loved the dual narration and for the most part you could tell the different people apart by just the voices (there are a lot of characters to voice). It was performed really well.

I also liked the details Bethany Jadin decided to include in her story, for example the way she described the pans soaking in the messy kitchen or the thoughts going through Emily's mind as she tried to get the smoke alarms to turn off. Since I'm also a female in the tech industry, there is an interesting plot developing through the story along with characters I would like to know more about. My only complaint is the abrupt ending. It seemed like the story was just getting started and then the book was suddenly finished. I'm hesitant to get the second book because I suspect that the story won't be finished until the end of the sixth book. I do really appreciate the "slow burn" approach and I would be interested in reading/listening to them as a set.

Intriguing!

Intriguing

This storyline was great and this series has great potential.
I say potential because although it’s only book 1 in the series and I want to say it has a cliffhanger I can’t. A cliffhanger leaves you excited, or angry and needing or wanting more. For me, it was more like putting the book down at the end of a chapter until I have time to continue reading. I love the direction the story is going I just wished it was going a little faster.
Regarding the RH it was very erotic at times but and not what I was expecting.
The narration was amazing. Both, but particularly the male narrator doing multiple male characters, it was hot!
I would recommend this book if your open to a slow burn with no HEA.
Note: I’ve read that although there are cliffhangers in this series, everything comes together in the end with an HEA!
