About this listen
Best-selling author Francis Ray chronicles the lives and loves of the Grayson family and their friends - and friends-of-friends who just might have a change of heart…
Cicely St. John is not impressed by her friend C.J. Callahan’s so-called passion in life: running a New York City bar that he inherited from his uncle. So why can’t Cicely stop thinking about the dance they shared at their mutual friends’ wedding—or the mutual attraction she felt in C.J.’s arms?As far as C.J. is concerned, Cicely is a snob whose “passion” in life—writing for fashion magazines—is as pretentious as she is. So why can’t he keep his eyes off her?
C.J. has a business to run. And Cicely has a job opportunity in Paris. Neither of them even has time to think about romance right now. But maybe, just once, the two could test their friendship…with just one kiss.

Story
Most musicians would do anything to work with the hot, young record producer known as “Rolling Deep.” R.D. can pick and choose any artist he wants - and he wants Laurel Raineau. A classical violinist, Laurel plays soaring music that touches R.D. to his very soul. But the last thing Laurel wants is to work with someone whose exploits with the ladies appear in the tabloids every week. Not one to take no for an answer, R.D. keeps trying - and failing - to let Laurel know that he’s not the player he’s made out to be.

Dr. Cade Mathis learned early that he was not the son of the man who raised him. His adoptive father, a cruel, bitter man, had always been quick to tell him that he was a bastard and an embarrassment to the rich society family whose daughter got pregnant with him. So when Cade received a full scholarship to college, he was only too happy to leave the only home he had ever known behind and never looked back. Now a successful doctor and one of the best neurosurgeons in the state, the only thing he still wants are answers about where he came from.

On the fence
I've read 2/3 of the books about the couples in the book and overall the story was good but I wish the author would have had a little more gusto with letting the woman main character "have it all"....so far in both books both of the women's storylines were similar with the parents situation...however overall the story was good. I liked this book flow a little more because it was more realistic than Alex and Diane to me.

The narrator killed it
I am a fan of Francis Ray and this book series. However, the narrator did not quite meet my expectations for the characters in the book. This is not the first book I've heard this narrator perform. I felt the same way about the other stories as well. I'm not saying that she's a horrible narrator. Another book would probably be okay. Just not this kind. I really wish that the producers would keep in mind the characters of the books before picking the narrator.
