About this listen

It's business as usual for the infamous gold digging Gibbons women of Chesterton, Virginia. But this time, middle sister, Stephanie, may be the one getting played…Stephanie Gibbons has finally hit the jackpot. Her new sugar daddy, Isaac, is loaded and treating her in high style. When he proposes, Stephanie is sure she's set for life - until she finds her bank account empty, Isaac gone, and a strange - but very attractive - man following her.

Sexy P.I. Keith Hendricks has been tracking Isaac all along the eastern seaboard - where the con man has left behind a trail of heartbroken, swindled women. But when Keith confronts Stephanie, he's not sure if she's Isaac's accomplice - or his next victim. The only thing that's certain is his overwhelming attraction to her. And when Stephanie joins him on the hunt for Isaac, neither can ignore the sparks. Soon Stephanie is wondering whether true love is worth its weight in gold…

Finally found love

The narrator was great. She was able to perform all the characters. This is a sequel from another book. I am glad that I was able to find out what happened to the Gibbons girls. They were taught not to fall in love. All men that they dated must be rich. Their mother taught them that. Then the tables were turned. They all fell in love .One of the girls man was not rich. I enjoyed the action and humor of it. I hope that there is another sequel.

Very Sweet

A nice, light story with a great lesson. Just enough drama to make the storyline flourish. Not your normal “urban book”. I love Lisa Small! Carried this book on her back!!

Not as Good as Book 1

Its not the worst but compared to the first book its slow and drags on. I hate the whiny weak mentality of Stephanie so I dreaded listening to her act like a spoiled brat the whole book.

Okay

I really liked this book and would recommend this book. I wish this author didn't use God's name in vain. You don't have to use " GD " to have a great book. If not for that I would have given it 5 stars. I wish this book was a movie or TV show. The narrator was good. The couple was a great mix for an odd couple. They were cute together. I wish Stephanie was chased after by Keith with the way he came at her because of her past. I was the scum bag was caught with him cunning women and men. All I can say about him is WOW. Also, the picture of the book doesn't match Stephanie description of her hair. It matches Dawn hair style and the picture on Dawn's story book the hair style matches Stephanie. I like for the book covers to match the characters, so I can get into the story and imagine the characters in the story.
