About this listen

From New York Times best-selling author Kristen Ashley comes the new book in her River Rain Series, Embracing the Change.

That kiss ...

Gorgeous New York socialite Nora Ellington has been waiting a very long time for her happily ever after.

So long, she’s given up on it, and has decided even though she’s the plus-one friend without benefits to a man she’s head over heels in love with, an HEA will forever be out of her reach.

Handsome billionaire Jamie Oakley thought he’d had two happily ever afters in his life. However, neither lasted long, and both ended in tragedy. He’s not about to try it again or put his children through the trauma Jamie has learned from experience undoubtedly will come their way.

And he’s made this decision even if the woman who’s become his constant companion is a woman he loves straight to his soul ... and wants with everything that is him.

But then, one night, Jamie loses control and kisses Nora.

He can’t go there.

She can’t go on without it.

They’ll never be the same.

Or will they?

Love the characters in this series. Nora and Jamie so deserved this story. As always cannot wait until the next in the series.

Loved everything but the weird switches in accent and voices for Jamie. So odd it was distracting. Story was great. Love the series. My brain has to work hard to remember who is who in this clique. I need a chart 😂 Have loved Nora from her start in this series. She is quite the character. Enjoyed this greatly.

Great edition with J&N

The reason I purchased this book is because of the characters: Nora Ellington and Jamie Oakley. I haven’t been wild about this series and have mostly purchased the books in support of the author. However, I really have a soft spot for these two, who have been some of the most likable characters of the series.
The most memorable -most impactful- part of the story for me was Jamie’s evaluation of Felice’s actions and attitudes when talking to Nora after the family lunch. Major insights!
The narration was very iffy. Crusher’s (!) Nora worked, but not too many of her other voices.
Marceaux ok on Jamie, but I had a really hard time differentiating his other voices.

it’s about the characters

First I did enjoy the book. Narrators did a great job! I wish there was more of the love story of the two main characters and less of the secondary. In her older books I loved how the interaction of secondary characters really helped shape and build into the personality of the characters, now it just seems like extra dialogue. This is still a four star book for me , but it’s a book I didn’t get hooked into like some of her older books and will probably only read once. It missed the angst her male characters go through to get their HEA with our heroine and her growing and becoming the woman me as the reader get proud of and love.

Enjoyed!

I’m absolutely in love with everything I read by KA I think she could write a menu and I would love it. But thankfully her stories are much better then a menu we get to relate to the characters (except being rich lol) but her writing just keeps you engaged throughout the book

Another 5*

I thought the emphasis on Nico’s wife’s political leanings was a little over the top and pointed .

Always enjoy the in depth characters Ashley creates

KA did it again! She is masterful. She's one of the most gifted authors out there

Excellent

This is quite possibly my new favorite book! It has it all including a yacht! Conspicuous consumption at its finest! I want to be Nora! Brava Kit! And thanks for pointing out the social justice warrior pitfalls. Jamie’s remarks on that topic were well put. That should be a bumper sticker!!

Fabulously Fabulous!!
