About this listen

This funny opposites-attract lesbian romance digs up the awkward truth about what really matters in life.

Ambitious ice queen and corporate lawyer Felicity Simmons has spent her life focused on one thing: scuttling up the career ladder. She's achingly close to taking charge of a media empire for her boss when she's sent to investigate a South Bronx charity that helps homeless people's pets. Has the charity made off with her boss's generous donation? And, who on earth is that gorgeous soft-butch veterinarian who looks as if she could toss a Shetland pony over one shoulder? Not that Felicity has any interest in some opinionated Amazon or her adorable fleabag of a dog.

Felicity is quite sure she will not be distracted, thank you very much. She has a minor mystery to solve, a mentor to impress, and her life's dream to fulfil. Even if a distraction might be exactly what she needs.

The Awkward Truth takes place during the last half of Lee Winter's The Brutal Truth but can easily be listened to as a standalone story.

Sharp commentary on one of the most difficult and intransigent issues - wait, what?
Yes in what is ostensibly a romance the issue of homelessness and their pets is covered in a thought provoking and compassionate way. It is woven into the fabric of the narrative so deftly that it flows naturally. Brilliant. Ten stars.

Such a funny, thought provoking book. Going along for the ride as Felicity struggles with trying not to become too attached to the gorgeous vet Cooper, struggle to carry out her duties in the manner her boss expects of her and also discover the reason she was given this assignment. Once again beautifully narrated by the talented Angela Dawe.

Superb- can’t wait for a third book!

The problem with audible is it prompts you to write a review immediately on finishing... I'm struggling here because my head is floating, my eyes are full of happy tears and my book hangover is in full force.

If you like simple, boring, formulaic romances, avoid this like the plague. It's none of those things. Instead, Felicity and Coop are emotional, in every way possible, passionate, full of twists and turns and have a journey full of gripping interest. There's also so many cute animals you could get a saccharine overdose by chapter two.

This is by Lee Winter so it's basically assured that it's a fantastic book and Angela guarantees a flawless narration full of so many voices you might as well be watching a play.

One of the best things is that Winters plays with us and it feels like the story is concluding about three times before it actually does.

So it's emotional, with a fantastic storyline and deep main characters... but what sets amazing writing like this aside is that the side characters will capture your heart (or make you want to vomit) almost as much as Felicity and Coop. My favourite scene is actually between two side Characters where Winters lays out the most simply perfect explanation of marriage I've ever heard.

There's no way to sum this up in one sentence but you simply cannot miss this emotional coaster of a story which will have you crying, laughing and wide eyed in love yourself over and over again.

p.s. Well done Brittney... you were my favourite really... woof woof bark.

Wow...
