Story
Fun is the one thing Elsie Webb takes seriously. Though she'd be having a lot more of it if Haelstrom Media paid her enough to actually get out of debt. She's determined to hold out on contract negotiations for her kids' television show Fangley Heights until she gets what she deserves. There's only one problem, the head of the network just died and left her future more uncertain than ever. Forty-eight hours and one funeral—that's all Jones Haelstrom has to get through before she can return to her life in LA that's as ordered and sparse as an IKEA showroom.

Story
Author Wyatt Whitlock is one of the biggest names in action thrillers and writes for the largest publisher in the business. She’s extremely private and writes prolifically—well, until recently. Writer’s block may spell the end of her career if she can’t figure a way around it. A drastic change in scenery and a really old house in New Orleans could get her creativity going again, but renovating the house she bought on a whim might just kill her.

Everything they never wanted...is everything they’ll ever need. Faye Holmes’s life is the polar opposite from her racy, best-selling romances. It’s quiet, routine, and, at the moment, plagued with writer’s block. If only just a little of the passion burning up the pages of her books would warm her lonely bed. But to be honest, one-night stands aren’t her thing. When her best friend buys her a lap dance to celebrate her latest best seller, Faye is more than shocked. She’s intrigued by the stunningly beautiful dancer whose gentle eyes seem vaguely familiar.

Interesting story with a little too much romance

Publisher's Summary
Self-made business owner Dale McGuire has always enjoyed two things in life: women and fast cars. Now in her mid-30s, she's restless and can't work out why. Then one day a 10-year-old boy turns up, claiming to be her son, and her simple ordered world turns upside down.
Rebecca Harper bears the emotional scars of her father's crimes, and now she has two rules: never let anyone get too close and never admit weakness. Thanks to an anonymous egg donor, infertility didn't stop her from having her son Jake. Now pregnant for a second time, she's horrified when Jake brings home the woman he believes is his other mother.
When distrust turns to understanding and passion, can Dale and Rebecca, two women bound by fate, make a family neither expected?

Jenny Frame and Nicola Victoria Vincent are a perfect match
Frame is one of my favorite authors of this genre, and Vincent makes her works come to life. As a queer woman who has listened to dozens if not hundreds of romance novels over the years, I recommend this and every other Frame/Vincent audiobook without reservation.

OMG OMG OMG I LOVE THIS BOOK
How can I fully explain how much I love this story? I love every part of it, the ups and downs, the drama, the happiness, the love. And also the characters, I think I'll never forget them, they live in my heart now, Dale, Becca, Jake, Sam, Val, they were all unique and real.
The narrator did a fantastic job giving them each their own voice, perfectly transmitting every emotion, both good and bad. I felt everything the characters went through, like I was there with them and knew them my whole life.
I cannot recommend this book enough, I feel like I will never make it justice even if I use all the atoms in the universe to write about it. To anyone reading my meager review, do yourself a favor and buy this book, you won't regret it.

Sweet and smart romance
My first title by this author. Since I’m already smitten with the narrator (from the fabulous Cari Hunter’s books, especially, ‘Alias’), I decided to try some other authors whose stories she narrates. Narrator is talented in her switching from Scottish to ‘Posh’ and others. This story has a perfect blend of humor, romance and even some suspense thrown in the mix. Although I prefer romance with fade to black (no detailed sex scenes), the sex scenes in this story were done well by this author cuz combined with a compelling emotional context. Highly recommended as a feel good and well written story.

I really enjoyed Dale&Becca's journey, that Jake had an active part in the story and that it wasn't angsty. I only disliked the occasional point of view from the bad guy-girl. It's a Pet peeve of mine. Other than that the narrator's different accents was also a highlight for me. They really brought the story to life.

Heavy handed, but still worthwhile
Look, narrator did a great job and the character Dale with her Scottish voice really carried the story. Probably a bit too keen to force a conventional family scene but still enough to like about it. Butch/femme trope dynamic.
