Extreme Heat is a quick listen about two people getting a second chance to explore their passion for each other, a passion which started when they were both in high school.

Chloe and Kai shared a steamy kiss back in the day, but nothing really came of the experience due to Chloe being a bit too concerned about their age difference and her need to fall into peer pressure of appearances. How would it look if she hooked-up with a younger guy?

Fast forwarded a few years… Call it luck or fate, but Chloe runs into the sexy, athletic version of Kai. He’s no longer a boy, he’s a man who wants Chloe and he usually gets what he wants.

I enjoyed the premises of this short story, felt the narration was excellent, and found myself falling into the interesting setting of kiteboarding in Morocco.

Audiobook Review - The Good Sister: Part One by London Saint James

Trinity Lane Winslow feared everything and lived her life vicariously through others. She dreamed of the impossible, yearning to be the kind of woman men desired—especially Reid Addison.

Reid Addison feared nothing, except how the mousey little blonde daughter of his housekeeper made him feel.  Even though Trinity Winslow wasn’t his type, there was something intriguing about her.

Lord Ashton Archer lived a fairy tale life with property all over the world, was heir to a ducal dynasty, and had women fawning all over him. Anything a man could want, he obtained by the snap of his fingers.

By a twist of fate the three of them find their way into the same illicit world of the infamous Madam Jacqueline Claudette Rousseau. But will they find what each of them truly desires? Or will they always long for the forbidden?

5 Stars – Highly Recommended Read!

Let me start by saying the blurb to this book just can’t encompass everything The Good Sister: Part One is about, and I follow that by saying, I was amazed by this beautifully narrated coming of age story. However, coming of age story doesn’t do the story justice either. There is so much to and about this evocative book told in Trinity’s POV. It will touch you, surprise you, make you want to fan yourself due to the heat factor, and keep you interested to the end. I enjoyed every minute of listening and felt the narrator was fantastic.

Trinity is a young woman who has suffered a horrible tragedy, has many phobias, and while she believes she is broken, she has more strength and courage than she realizes. The driving force for her necessity to change from a scared mouse into a sexy butterfly is the bad boy, Reid Addison, who she has fantasized over and secretly, or not so secretly, watched. I don’t want to give a whole lot of the story away because I believe the listener needs to experience Trinity’s tale for themselves, but I will say things may not be what they seem with Reid.

After a heated encounter with Trinity, Reid journeys to France. Trinity fears he may never come back to her and works toward leaving the estate, which isn’t as easy as it sounds for a person who is an agoraphobic.  But finally, Trinity does the amazing. She ends up in France with Madam Jacqueline, who takes Trinity under her wing. It is there, with Jacqueline and her “sisters,” where Trinity finds Reid, but wait. What’s he doing there? What demons does he fight? Enters the debonair Lord Archer who has the ability to temp Trinity away from Reid and tempt her, he will.
