Nadia Wolf Novel, Book 1

By: Nicolette Pierce

Narrated by: Wendy Darling

Nadia Wolf had one wish, and it wasn't for the latest designer purse, fashion-forward clothing, or even a handsome man to marry - although, that would be acceptable too. Her wish was to win the World Series of Poker tournament and collect the one million dollar prize, beating the arrogant men who make her professional poker career a daily challenge.

The odds were stacked against her when sexy poker celebrity Caleb Usher sat down at her table. As they pin their battles against each other, a steamy side wager drew them both in and gave them an even greater reason to fight for the championship. It only took one hand to make tournament history and leave them both hot under the collar. But before they could settle their spicy wager, the million dollar prize disappeared in front of an audience. Not one witness could explain what happened or where the money disappeared to.

Greyson Miller CEO of the Lost City Casino had a mystery to solve. Not only did a thief steal the million dollars from under his watchful eyes, but a secret swelled so large it threatened the very core of the casino. In a twist of fate, Nadia teams up with Greyson in an attempt to find the missing prize and to solve the perilous mystery that plagued the Lost City Casino. With Greyson's overwhelming allure, Nadia has to keep both her head in the game and her hands to herself.

Will she be able unravel the mystery and find the lost prize money while keeping both Greyson and Caleb at bay? Can she fend off her fanatical self-appointed poker manager Frankie Garza before he flushes her career down the toilet in offbeat attempts to make her famous? With Caleb, Greyson, and Frankie all claiming a stake, Nadia's career, her life, and her heart will never be the same again.

Good book and narrator

This isn't the type of book I usually read/listen to but it was recommended by a friend so I gave it a shot. I was pleasantly surprised. The story captivated my attention and the narrator was great. It seemed unusual to have someone with a British accent at first but she has a very nice voice and didn't try to over play the characters like I've heard in lots of other books. It felt more like someone reading me a story than a one person, over acted play and I liked that. I liked the character of Nadia and I didn't feel like it was predictable. I'm looking forward to listening to High Stakes.

Great Story, horrible narrator

Would you consider the audio edition of The Big Blind to be better than the print version?

No, because I can do my own voices in my head when I am reading it. With the audiobook I have to listen to Ms. Darling's version and they just aren't very good - everyone sounds the same and for quick back and forth conversations, it is difficult to figure out who is saying what.

Would you be willing to try another one of Wendy Darling’s performances?

Yes, but only because I like the Nadia Wolf series not because of Ms. Darling's contribution

Enjoyable entertainment.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would definitely recommend this audiobook. It's a very good story and kept my interest throughout.

What about Wendy Darling’s performance did you like?

She did a good job. Easy to understand.
