About this listen

In her first thrilling romantic adventure, Laura Black is an investigator for a highly successful Scottsdale law firm run by slightly shady Lenny Shapiro. She’s hot on the trail of con-man Alexander Sternwood, the missing grandson of wealthy widow, Muffy Sternwood. It sounded like an easy case, at least until she was kidnapped by a couple of upset Russian hit-men named Boris and Ivan, then by two seriously psychotic brothers called Smith and Jones, then finally by Tough Tony DiCenzo, head of the largest crime family in Scottsdale. To top it off, she’s found a dead body that seems to be a message directed toward her. Now, with the help of ex-cop Gina Rondinelli, a stripper named Danica, and her best friend Sophie, Laura needs to make sure that a slightly illegal international jewel sale goes smoothly, or else. All of this pales in comparison, though, with an even greater danger. Laura has decided that now would be the perfect time to get back together with her old boyfriend Jackson Reno, who just happens to be a Scottsdale detective. The only hitch in her plans for romance is Maximilian, a gorgeous crime lieutenant who has his sights set on Laura, a feeling that she can’t help but return. Craziness, romance, and more than a little danger are in store when Laura Black and her Scottsdale friends are on the case.

I read the print version of Scottsdale Heat: Laura Black Mysteries, Book 1, and wanted to try the audio version. I was not disappointed. The book is faced paced and exciting. The heroine and her friends are likeable. There are also 2 hunky love interests. I have read the other books in the series and enjoyed them all. If you like your mysteries with a little bit of sizzle try Scottsdale Heat.
The narration was excellent.

This was my first time reading/listening to a B. A. Trimmer. I enjoyed the story. It's reminiscent of Janet Evonivitch's Stephanie Plum series.
The narration however seems canned or robotic at times. It therefore took me a while to get into it.

This was a little hard to get through. someone else mentioned that the narrator sounded robotic at times and I agree. She did a good job narrating the characters but everything else was hard to listen too. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Good story.

Narrator’s voice had me dozing at times as her tone of voice never really changed for the female characters. Also the female characters all seem to be a little too sex crazed. Thought it would have more humor like Stephanie Plum series but it didn’t even though the plot was similar. I will try the next book in series to see if it gets better.

Any additional comments?

This seemingly far-fetched story had me entertained from the first chapter. I loved the snarkiness of the narrator and the over-sexed women, especially Sophie, were a hoot! This was a fun and engaging listen and I would recommend it.

Laura Black is an investigator for a Scottsdale law firm run by shady Lenny Shapiro. She’s hired to locate con-man Alexander Sternwood, the missing grandson of wealthy widow, Muffy Sternwood. Sounded simple enough ....until it wasn't - with the help of ex-cop Gina Rondinelli (more like a father figure to Laura), a stripper named Danica, and her best friend Sophie, Laura needs to make sure that a slightly illegal international jewel sale goes smoothly, otherwise the mob world gets involved and the bodies will fall -
While this story was creative and not boring, IMO, I just didn't feel like I was part of the story or engrossed in what happens next -

Another cozy

Both the author and narrator were new to me. I loved the wise cracks in this book. The character Laura Black reminded me of Stephanie Plum. I thought it was a very fun book to listen to and enjoyed the references to areas of Scottsdale. This adventure is total escapism from reality with fun twists and turns.
