About this listen

From USA Today best-selling author Kilby Blades, the next installment in the Gilded Love series....

Jasmine isn't supposed to be in Pahrump. She’s not supposed to be posing as an exotic dancer. And she’s sure as hell not supposed to be solo on an undercover job. She’d have paid any price to avoid the emergency call to her ex-fiancé, Avi. But she’s in so far over her head, it’s come to that.

The last place Avi saw Jasmine was at the altar six months ago, right before she walked out of his life. Well...almost. They still work on opposite ends of the same vigilante crime-fighting organization. She’s the last person he expects to hear from while half a world away on a pleasure trip to Sydney. Can he get to Nevada in time to save her from a human-trafficking bust gone wrong?

A second chance romance with a little bit of undercover drama as Jasmine goes solo to try and unravel a human trafficking ring. When she finds herself in a sticky situation as she poses as an exotic dancer, she calls on her ex, Avi, to come and save the day (or not). Narration by Jacob Morgan (swoon), and Nicole Small, who work beautifully in sync with each other as they try to escape the luxury mansion they’ve infiltrated. Quick thinking and some stealthy moves in this super quick, super enjoyable novella. Works well on audio thanks to some excellent narration.

Super quick undercover romantic drama

So this was my introduction to Kilby’s writing and I really enjoyed it. This story is low on the steam, there’s some suggestion and a smidgey bit but it’s more about the plot and the characters. It’s a short listen, only a few hours long and I enjoyed the change of pace from my usual audiobooks.

Jasmine is working as a pole dancer and as one myself I appreciated that Kilby did her homework and the references to what we wear, use and how demanding it is on your body are authentic. It’s a plot driven story, with lots of secrets. She’s undercover but has to call her ex-fiance Avi to come get her out of the mess she’s gotten herself into.

I enjoyed the pace of the story, it was quick but didn’t feel rushed. This is the third book in the Gilded Love Series and as always I’m listening out of turn. I haven’t listened to the first 2 in the series but this is a standalone so it didn’t matter.

Grab this story for a quick, action packed story that will hold your attention for sure.

A quick listen that's got great narration.

As much as I was hooked on the second chance romance between sassy survivor (in more ways than one) Jasmine and fixer Avi, I feel like this was way too short, especially because we didn't really get a proper conclusion. It was certainly eluded to, but I'd have loved to see a touch more of their reunion than what we got. But the plot and the suspense was more than enough to get me hooked with this. I volunteered to listen and review a complimentary copy of this. All opinions are my own.

Kilby Blades keeps the excitement coming with Vertical, a novella that kept me on the edge. This story is packed with suspense! Jasmine is posing as an exotic dancer as she works to take down a human trafficking ring. When she finds herself in trouble, she sends a message to her ex, Avi. The question is will he come to her rescue after she left him at the alter? A truly thrilling ride as Avi and Jasmine work through saving each other, getting the girls out safely and finding their way back to each other. This may be a slow burn, but the underlying passion these two have for each other resonates through the entire story right through the danger. I loved this romantic suspense story, and even got a chance to visit with Michael and Darby from the first two books in the series. Always fun to see characters we know.

Narration by Jacob Morgan and Nicole Small is fabulous. Morgan brings the alpha male with his broken heart, and he is amazing. He lets us feel everything Avi does. Small is new to me and I loved her voice. Rich, confident and bringing out all of the emotions Jasmine has, we are treated to a wonderful perception of her. The two meld together well and made for a fun afternoon.

Loving this series!
