Sweet, Spicy & Charming! Great Story & Narration🎧

I always love me a good fairytale retelling and MacKenzie Stowe puts her own spin on the classic “Cinderella” modernizing and switching it up to a contemporary office romance. After Ella Taylor’s father passed away, she was at the mercy of her evil stepmother and stepsisters, who demanded she take care of, as well as help run the family business, Taylor Med. Ella managed her time well and got competent people to run the company so she could get away and work for a company run by one of her late father’s friends, Mr. Moore. She will be an assistant to his son, Dax, who is being groomed to be his father’s successor for when he retires in the future. She had met Dax when he was a kid, while he was in Nebraska, and she also made two of her best friends that same year, Layla and Ara, who invited her to live with her while in New York. Ella is smart and hardworking, but the first time her new boss sees her, he gets the wrong impression of her. That impression quickly changes to admiration because she excels in her position and is great at everything she does. They have a good rapport and work well together, and when he catches some employees badmouthing her, he goes into protective mode, despite her objections. He soon realizes his feelings and attraction for Ella are deepening, and invites her to join him on a business trip, for her expertise in dealing and reading people. It was great to watch these two dance around each other, Ella determined to keep it professional, and Dax wanted it to be something more. He does not know much about her home life or situation with her family’s company, but his father fills him in on what he knows and when she tells him what the deal is with her stepmother, it raises some flags. When her stepmother finds out that Ella is happy, she comes to New York and demands that she go back home, except Ella is prepared for her and stands up to her stepmother for the first time. I enjoyed this book immensely, the writing, plot and world building are excellent and the story captivated my attention from start to end. The drama is non-stop and there is a perfect balance of heartwarming moments and heartfelt ones, and a slow burn, yet spicy romance. MacKenzie Stowe, thank you for this charming story and emotional rollercoaster ride.   

🎧📚🎧 Shiloh James and Jim Catapano were the perfect cast to bring the characters and story to life. They had a complete understanding of who they were portraying, giving each their own voice, making it easy to follow along and tell who is who. I loved how they took each role and made it their own, sounding believable and just as I imagined the characters would sound. Ms. James nailed it as Ella, grasping every side of her personality, from her determination and confidence with her job, her professionalism, to her passion, to her strength to deal with her stepmother, head on. Catapano was just as fabulous as Dax and was a natural in that role. Both were fantastic performing the roles of the secondary characters too. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling each one. These two are entertaining storytellers and their performance elevated his already great story to another level. Thank you, I hope to hear more of your fabulous audiobook listens again soon.
