About this listen

Brooks Boseman, born into privilege in an old New Orleans plantation home, could have opted for an easy life just like her siblings, but after a broken heart, she escapes to New York where no one knows her name.

A call from the family matriarch changes everything. Her brother Curtis is getting married, and Brooks needs to be at the engagement party. Only she can’t possibly go, not with Curtis set to marry the secret love of her youth, Fallon Goodwin. Unable to find a way to refuse, Brooks returns to discover the family business is in jeopardy. In the face of her father’s struggles with Alzheimer’s and her brother’s well-intentioned blunders, she’s forced to step in to save the family fortune.

As far as Brooks and Fallon are concerned, romance is for storybooks, but as hard as they try to resist, neither can deny their feelings still linger. Family ties have never been more binding as they fight for the business, and maybe even for each other.

This story brings together some of the best and worst features of families centred around a business which has been in the family for generations. Although there was a little too much angst and gushing for my taste at times I still thought this was another excellent book by Ali Vali and if you enjoy a layered tale with a romantic component then I recommend this novel.

Families!!

Although the story could possibly have been ok, Ali Vali's writing style is very confusing so it is often difficult to know what is going on - who is saying or doing what to whom. The story also repeats the same points over and over as if the author has run out of ideas and has to keep giving us the same information to make her point rather than developing the characters and/or plot.
The narrator, Lula Larkin, does her best and differentiates between the various characters' voices well.

I struggled to get to the end of this one
