Publisher's summary

Cole was written by USA Today best-selling and award-winning author Xyla Turner

Cole

When I first saw her in action, I knew. Knew there was something different about her. I knew that I wanted her. She was sexy in her own right, smooth and no-nonsense. Grown and f*cking beautiful. That's what I wanted. What I needed. A mature woman who knew what she wanted, lived her life and wasn't looking for someone to help find herself. I wanted stability.

And I found it.

Found her.

But all hell broke loose.

Bethany

I was an ex-wife and, according to my grown daughter, who still lived with me, the worst mother in the world. My ex-husband still treated our daughter like she was 10, and on most days she did act the part. I, on the other hand, was looking forward to retirement after serving my 25 years in my field. Also, definitely not looking for a man. A hot and sexy man who made me feel alive again. No. I was over that. I thought I was.

Cole is an over-40s hot and sexy romance novella, because love and sex have no age limits. This novel is mature and funny and has a real HEA.

Good story....horrible narrator.

I'll start with the story. The story line was good and I have loved Xyla Turners books in the past (Her "Mister" series) so I figured I'd enjoy this one also. I would've love it to be longer so that we could get to know them a little better but as a novella, it hit all the marks for me. Now, the narrator...I don't think she was a good fit. At times it was hard to tell who was speaking. She didn't do a good job with making the different female voices distinct and she just wasn't the right one to read this. It made it a little hard to get into the story. I almost DNF but pushed through. I think this would've been good if it was recorded as a duet. Over all I give this 4 stars.

Loved this

Love this author. Just wished it were a duet as I wasn't terribly impressed with the narrator because she didn't do the black woman justice. In fact all the female characters sounded whiny and irritating. The plot was good though and relatable.

Oh my Cole!🤤🤤🤤🤤

This was AWESOME!!! I loved every bit of this story! And finally, a mature one at that!!! To be honest, I’ve had the pleasure of listening to Mr Vega & Mr West, and I absolutely loooved those too!! Xyla Turner has a new fan in me!! Can’t wait to see what else comes next.. hoping for more mature content like Cole, Mr Vega & Mr West..

Let’s make it happen Xyla!!!

The Narrator

I liked the story and it was predictable. The narrator was not a good fit for reading this book. I don't like how she read for the female character. It made the female character c9me off as a snob.

Wrong choice in the narrator

This is a wonderful story BUT the narrator is horrible. It should have been dual POV or a male narrator that can do a man and woman. The only reason I did not return this was because I’ve returned a lot lately. Xyla Turner is wonderful and though I have only read the Mister series, she thoroughly tells a good romance story.

Draft

I loved the other books in this series by Xyla Turner. The characters and situations they found themselves in were well developed and complex. Cole is only half the length of the other books, which doesn’t have to mean half as good but it was. It had the bones of a good story but lacked the meat. The narration didn’t help. Waste of a credit.
