About this listen

'Deliciously impossible to put down' JODI PICOULT
'Powerful, tragic, and beautiful. Is there anything Sarah MacLean can't do?' ASHLEY POSTON

From bestselling author Sarah MacLean comes a sharp, sexy novel about a family's long-overdue reckoning with hidden desires, destructive secrets . . . and one week that threatens to tear them apart.

Alice Storm isn't like her siblings. While the rest stayed to battle for their parents' approval, and their billions, she walked away, building a life beyond her family's reach. Nothing could induce her to come back. Nothing except the shocking death of her father.

Now back on the family's private island off the Rhode Island coast, she plans to keep her head down, pay the last of her respects, and leave.

But her father had other plans.

The manipulative patriarch left behind a final challenge: an inheritance game designed to unravel the Storm family in ways both petty and life-altering. The rules are simple: stay on the island for one week, complete the tasks, receive the inheritance.

But a week on Storm Island may destroy Alice. The family home seethes with dysfunction, and then there's Jack Dean-her father's infuriatingly attractive second-in-command, watching her every move.

Alice just wants to survive the week. But the Storm legacy isn't done with her yet.

'Money, sex, and intrigue . . . unputdownable from beginning to end' CHRISTINA LAUREN
'From the first rumbles of thunder to the torrential downpour, MacLean takes readers for a wild ride!' ABBY JIMENEZ

I initially chose this book as I love the way Julie Whelan narrates. I’d never read anything by this author before so wasn’t sure what to expect but really enjoyed it. The writing was great, the banter was witty and the narration was top notch. Glad I took a risk and I look forward to reading more by this author.

Kept me engaged from start to finish

I was rather surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. The Family storm have a very similar vibe to Yellowstones Dutton family. The story centers around the emotions of the estranged daughter of a tech multi-billionaire that returns to her families private island to attend the patriarchs "funeral" and ride out not only the brewing weather but also a family dealing with their grief by focusing there anger at each other. A bit spicier than I was expecting, but worth the read.

a surprising treat

Fantastic narration of a really awesome book. If you liked Succession, you’ll love this! Dysfunctional rich family at its bitchy best. Devoured it in 2 days!

Succession in a novel!

Find me a Julia Whelan narrated book I don’t love! This book is surface about the ‘struggles’ of the rich and the trickery of greed. But I very much enjoyed this book

Loved
