Key Change

Common Threads, Book 3

De: Smartypants Romance, Heidi Hutchinson

Narrado por: Samantha Brentmoor, Wayne Mitchell

Before Hannah was a 9-5 working, dinner making, homebody, she was Ashton James: a paparazzi-stalked pop star with more enemies than friends. These days she has one priority: keeping her sister safe and away from the public eye. Hannah was doing a great job, until the pesky little brother of an ex-fling discovers where she is, and wants her help launching his career. Now she has to trust Johnny - whom she betrayed in more ways than one - to protect her whereabouts. Johnny may have an infuriating moral compass and the timing of a storybook hero, but is he immune to the temptation of revenge?

Johnny’s focus has always been his music business, and a bad influence like Hannah is the last thing he needs at work, or around his brother. But some things are too powerful to be stopped. For someone like Hannah, second chances - in life and in true love - don’t exist. She didn’t think so, at least. Johnny is about to prove her wrong, and being wrong has never felt so right. Key Change is a full-length contemporary romance and can be read as a stand-alone. Book number three in the Common Threads series, Seduction in the City World, Penny Reid Book Universe.

All I Can Do is listen again and again

MIND BLOWN!!!! I have just a few questions. How can I give this story more stars? How can I scream louder "please read this?" How can I talk the author into making this a series? After all Shawn is going to make it big in the future and will be needing Quinn's security team.

Key Change is a lesson in love. Key Change is a lesson in second chances. Key change is a lesson in making positive changes for a better future. Key Change is a lesson of success. Ket Change is a lesson in forgiveness and trust. Most of all, Key change is a love story packed with drama.

Ashton James was the ultimate bad girl of pop rock. Her antics graced tabloids and entertainment television. Then she disappeared. The she found family. No one, but Quinn's team, knows where she is as she hides in plain sight in Chicago. Then she is confronted with her past, a past she didn't remember.

Johnny Torres was a rising star in the music industry. Time with a pop star ruined everything. Johnny is back in Chicago making music for others in a recording studio and taking care of his little brother, a brother who figures out where Ashton James is hiding.

The drama packed into this story is intense. As if all the romantic drama wasn't enough; the author brought in high school drama, close family drama, musician drama and pasts that were mind blowing. The author made me cry. I don't remember her ever making me cry before.

I have never hid that I adore Heidi's books. I have a shelf of signed books to prove it. To me this is her best story. I will still be thinking about it next week, next month.

I will remember the lessons in love. "You make it possible not to love you." Let's swoon together. "Sometimes we find someone. Or the find us. And there is rescuing on both ends." My heart is beating so fast right now.

Most of all I will remember life's greatest lesson. "All I can do is all I can do." All I can do is ask you t read Key Change. All I can do is hope that you enjoy it as much as I did. All I can do is wait patiently for Heidi Hutchinson's next story to burst free from her head.

09/17/22 after reading Lost Track, Key Change called to me for a reread. How could I say no? I couldn't.. Now I am off to read Lost Track again.

10/16/24 I am under Heidi Hutchinson's spell yet again. I read her new release, Write or Wrong and now I must read the three common threads books she has written. This book is just as awesome as the first time I read it.

11/14/24 The audiobook was a great listen. I enjoyed it as much as enjoyed reading the book the first time. It will definitely be on my repeat list.

Closed door…with heat

I’m not typically a fan of closed door romance, but Ms. Hutchinson wrote a very compelling slow-burn and I didn’t miss the up close and personal action. This book is a very interesting take on owning one’s actions, shame, and self-love/growth. Well worth the credit EXCEPT the male narrator’s female voicing is TERRIBLE. I mean really, really bad. Not bad I’m enough for me to return it, but just be forewarned- you will hate it, but the story is worth it.

A new Favorite

This book made me laugh out loud as I listened to it on my walks and I didn’t even care about strangers giving me looks! I fell in love with these characters so quickly and I thought it would be absolutely impossible to even like Ashton James. I’m looking forward to what comes next with this new family of characters that Heidi created

Slow wandering story

The male narrating sounded as if he was making fun of female voices. Story concept is good but the journey to get there was long and drawn out.
