About this listen
A Chickasaw woman who can’t catch a break serves up a little white lie that snowballs into much more in this USA Today bestselling rom-com by critically acclaimed author Danica Nava.
Ember Lee Cardinal has not always been a liar—well, not for anything that counted at least. But her job search is not going well and when her resumé is rejected for the thirty-seventh time, she takes matters into her own hands. She gets “creative” listing her qualifications and answers the ethnicity question on applications with a lie—a half-lie, technically. No one wanted Native American Ember, but white Ember has just landed her dream accounting job on Park Avenue (Oklahoma City, that is).
Accountant Ember thrives in corporate life—and her love life seems to be looking up as well: Danuwoa Colson, the IT guy and fellow Native who caught her eye on her first day, seems to actually be interested in her too. Despite her unease over the no-dating policy at work, they start to see each other secretly, which somehow makes it even hotter? But when they're caught in a compromising position on a work trip, a scheming colleague blackmails Ember, threatening to expose their relationship. As the manipulation continues to grow, so do Ember’s lies. She must make the hard decision to either stay silent or finally tell the truth, which could cost her everything.

Story
Josephine Davis has spent her entire twenties building Revenant, a fashion brand headquartered in downtown Austin, Texas. When her biggest investor orders Josie to hire a consultant, the last person she expects to be working with is Will Grant—the twin brother of her ex–best friend. Sure, Will and Josie may have shared one mistake of a kiss during senior spring break ten years ago, but they’ve never been friends. She remembers him as moody; he always thought of her as shallow. Romance isn’t on the table for either of them until they blink.

Story
Anna Horn is always looking over her shoulder. For the bullies who torment her, for the entitled visitors at the reservation’s casino…and for the nameless, disembodied entity that stalks her every step—an ancient tribal myth come-to-life, one that’s intent on devouring her whole. With strange and sinister happenings occurring around the casino, Anna starts to suspect that not all the horrors on the reservation are old. As girls begin to go missing and the tribe scrambles to find answers, Anna struggles with her place on the rez.

Story
When professional—and self-taught—violinist Gwen Jackson plays, she disappears into the peaks and valleys of each song, a quiet passion that never quite explodes into pure emotion. Xander Thorne is the exact opposite. A cellist and a rock star, he’s all about big emotion, but not even his six-foot-four frame can contain his skill, his genius...and an attitude that borders on jerkitude.

No one’s more surprised than Leigh when a prestigious MFA program in North Carolina accepts her. A former sorority girl, Leigh’s the first to admit she knows more about the lyrics of Taylor Swift than T.S. Eliot, and she’s never been able to shake the “all-style-no-substance” feedback her high school crush made in their poetry workshop. Leigh's insecurities become all too real when Will, that same high school crush-turned-nemesis, shows up at orientation. And now, he’s William, exactly the kind of writer Leigh hates, complete with his pretentious sweater vests and tattered Moleskine

All she wanted to do was live her life in peace—maybe get a cat, expand the family spice farm. Really, anything that didn't involve going on an adventure where an orc might rip her face off. But they say the Goddess has favorite, and if so, Cin is clearly not one of them... After saving the demon Fallon in a wine-drunk stupor, all Fallon wants to do is kill an evil witch enslaving his people. And, who can blame him? But he's dragging Cinnamon along for the ride. On the bright side, at least he keeps burning off his shirt.

Native Love ♥️
This book was an absolute joy to listen to. The story was wonderfully written, funny and sexy. I listened to it in one day and will definitely be listening to it again. I hope it’s the first of many to feature Native Romance. More please!

I LOVED IT!
I read this for my book club (it was the September pick) and was extremely delighted at the humor and warmth of this book. I laughed at so many parts and loved the characters of Ember and Danuwoa. Will definitely look forward to more books from Danica Nava. The narration was also really good. Highly recommend this book!

A perfect rom-com!
Heartwarming, laugh out loud funny and at times heartbreaking, this book was a ride I didn't want to end. And don't miss the author's note after the epilogue.

This book made me so happy!!
Characters JUMPED to life with the writing + narration! Ember had me chuckling from her observations and antics. I was cheering for her the whole way! Danuwoa is supportive but also doesn't take her foolishness while being so HOT. What a man! Loved hearing the dear listener & acknowledgments at the end.

Loved this
Fell in love with these characters, flaws and all.
I was planning to give this book a 4 star for the humor, characters and story. And then I got to the steamy scenes and decided to give it a 5.
Fun read.

Finally!
Hope that this is the start of many more native rom-coms! The story goes through realistic toxic workplace, family tensions, and just trying to get your life together in your twenties. Ember was awesome and I was rooting for her! The love connection with Danuwoa was anything but cheesy and more like pass the hot sauce ;) I will be revisiting this story again and again and look forward to more work from Danica Nava. And narrator Siena East is hilarious!

Chikasha Love
I have struggled to find books about people like me my whole life. I have been on the hunt for all Indigenous books. I had extremely high hopes for this book I am so glad I gave it a listen. This Chickasaw Woman is proud to say I loved this book. So many similarities with my own life. Made me write down some of my own ideas for a book. I really love books that connect you to a time, a place, a memory, and touch the soul. I look forward to more stories and wish this was a series!

A love story to remember
I absolutely loved this story and binged it the best I could between work and life. I love the characters, story, chemistry between the characters, and the narrator did an excellent job. I would love more indigenous love stories especially from this author. I love romantic comedies and this one made me laugh and pulled me in. I definitely recommend.
