Story
Lana Fleming’s sister has vanished from the set of TV’s hottest show, and no one seems to care. Desperate for answers, Lana sneaks in as an extra, only to get stranded with Griffin Hart, an A-list action star with a reputation for good abs and bad decisions. Though Griffin didn’t expect to be cast as a librarian’s sidekick in a real-life thriller, he’s weirdly into it—and into her. Even more unsettling—she sees right through his playboy persona. But their meet-cute soon turns deadly when they uncover a Hollywood scandal for the ages.

It’s Valentine’s Day weekend, and Charlotte and Seth are not looking for romance. Armed with emotional-support bear spray, Charlotte is in self-imposed isolation and on guard from men. Having a stalker can do that to a person’s nerves. Just across the hall and giving off woodsy vibes is Seth, a recently divorced arborist. As in today recently. Heights, he’s fine with. Trust? Not so much.

Story
Liv’s happy with life in her thirties. She has two cats, one BFF, and no boyfriend, which is just how she likes it. Plus, she loves working at a not-for-profit software company where she can be her authentically autistic self. This is her happy ever after. But when her beloved firm merges with a repulsive rival, Liv finds herself competing with her sort-of-ex for the top job. Sure, Finn had been Liv’s best friend, with his nerdy good looks and their shared love of Tolkien, but there was that one night, their song, and … well, she doesn’t like to talk about it.

Story
Meet Randi Burnett—she’s brilliant, she’s beautiful, and she works for the bride. Missing groom? Intoxicated in-laws? Crying ring-bearer? You name it, she wrangles it.

There’s just one problem—the best man is infuriating, overprotective, and anti-marriage.

They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

Love the Story!
I absolutely love this story, and read the physical copy, I always love to listen to books I’ve read to fully envelope in the story. The Story was gripping and I followed along so well. I didn’t really care for the narrator, in my mind she didn’t fit the FMC, and I also prefer duet narration, but overall loved it!

Stunning!!!
I had the pleasure of reading this as a regular book before an audio book. I have a hard time sitting down and getting hooked into books because I normally get bored. Well if your are looking for a book that will suck you in and not want to put it back down, this is your book! There is never a dull moment at all in this book! The lady who voices this book will have you sucked with the way she reads it! This book will have you crying, angry and on the edge of your seat the whole time! Overall this book is still an amazing read and now it also an amazing listen!

I genuinely enjoyed this book! It was different than most of my reads but a good read. Two sides and will keep you on your feet with all emotions. Well written and accurate on law enforcement terms. I would recommend this book and definitely read more from the author!

Great suspense
I love Emily’s writing. She takes the time to develop the characters and bring them to life. I also love a strong MFC that works through her trauma and comes out even stronger in the end.

It’s great but needs…
The story itself is great. The reader of the story doing the narration is not the right fit for the story. She speaks very monotone through the whole thing. There’s no joy or sorrow or anger in her voice during the parts of the story where somebody while reading it Would change their voice. The plot is good but it needs more buildup. There was not a lot of buildup to it. It could’ve used more. I would not necessarily call it a cliffhanger ending, but it does say this is book one and I’m not quite sure after what could really happen in a second book. I feel it would’ve been better to tell the story of Mel and Greg with everything that’s already there and just make it longer to complete their story instead of trying to separate it into multiple books. I would seriously be grateful to be handed the second book for this series to see if the plots get better or not, but I would recommend having somebody else do the narrating for the audiobook. You need somebody who can change their tone and pitch to match what’s going along in the book because monotone kind of ruins, the story and kind of makes the listener zone out or want to go to sleep.

This book kept me on my toes!
I have read a few of Emily's books so far and I have loved each and every one. This one is no different. Getting a chance to listen to someone read this was just another layer. You could feel the emotions from the narrator as she read some of the more heart-breaking chapters. Near the end, I questioned how big a cliff hanger would Emily have since I knew there was a sequel. I am happy that how this book ended was not how I thought it would end. I can't wait to see what the future holds for Detective Megan Nell.

An Amazing ride, but make sure to check TW!
Usually this isn’t the genre I read but I was very glued to this story since the beginning. What a whirlwind of emotions. The story will keep you on the edge of your seat for the entire time. I didn’t want the book to end, but what a satisfying conclusion to an amazing ride. Definitely a must read/listen. The narrator did a good job at narrating for everyone.
