Quotes

“Narrator Kitty Bang draws the listener into the story of Ivy Jensen, who is returning home to New York after her tech company failed because she trusted someone she shouldn't have.… Ivy has a wealthy mentor, CeCe, and Bang has just the right touch of arrogance and haughtiness in her performance. As Heath and Ivy grow closer, Bang infuses Heath with warmth and tenderness as he tries to overcome Lexi's uncertainty about their relationship. Listeners will be totally rooting for them.” AudioFile Magazine
