Once a Month

By: Kelvin L. Reed

Narrated by: Quiana Goodrum

"This isn't going to change our friendship or our marriage" is the vow wedded parents Tony and Rose Monroe make with Rose's best friend: beautiful, wealthy - but lonely - Cam Spencer. The three enter into an unusual romantic contract, but whether they can keep their commitment is another matter in this tale of love, passion, and greed.

Tony and Rose, deeply in debt, need a substantial influx of cash or they stand to lose their upper-middle-class lifestyle. Fortunately for them, Cam, a former fashion model turned venture capitalist with a talent for making money, is willing to bail them out. In return Tony agrees (reluctantly) to sleep with Cam one night every month for twelve months. It doesn't take long for Tony, Rose, and Cam to discover their pact comes with complications none of them anticipated.

Good story

I got this book for free for an honest review. I really liked the storyline and was eager to keep listening to see what happened next.

I wasn't real crazy about the narration sometimes it sounded like she had gum in her mouth and one time I heard paper rustling. It was okay and I didn't dislike her voice but the deep voice of Tony was hard for her to pull off.

Overall I enjoyed the book and it's worth a listen or read in IMHO.

good story

it was a good story but not something i like

Something different!

Really enjoyed this book! The best thing about Once a Month was the plot which was different enough to keep me interested in reading (or listening). A few little surprises were thrown in to keep me wondering what would happen next. This audio book was a great listen!

Be Prepared to Listen For Hours Straight

What did you love best about Once a Month?

I found this book to be exquisite. It was such a break from the normal story line. The original plot of this book is what I found myself loving. Just when you think you know what is going on, the story turns.

Who was your favorite character and why?

My favorite character would have to be Tony. He is a devoted husband, and a very down to Earth man. He is also a very tolerant man, who seems to be genuine about his actions and words.

Any additional comments?

If you are looking for a great attention grabber then choose this book. It is a tasteful well written book. Can't wait to read more from this author.

Good story..but could it happen?

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Yes, I would recommend to friends who are looking for something with a little drama, scandal and questionable acts involved.

Would you be willing to try another book from Kelvin L. Reed? Why or why not?

Sure. This story held my attention, despite some of the dialogue seeming a bit over the top or not realistic (to me, I just chalked it up to being more on the dramatic side), the premise was good and it was pretty easy to follow and listen to.

Did Quiana Goodrum do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

She actually did a really good job differentiating the characters. The male voices weren't as masculine as I'd like so it made me think of them as soft or weak male characters. But I could tell the difference when she was doing various characters. Cam and Rose were the most similar voices.

Could you see Once a Month being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

As it stands no, but with some tweaking of the dialogue it could work as a made for tv movie.

Any additional comments?

I get that the story is fiction but most fiction I read I always think "could this happen" or "is this believable?" I like stories that I can relate to or that I could picture happening. I had trouble being completely convinced that this could happen as it played out, for as long as it played out and other issues didn't come about in the year's span. Good storyline but I think to be more believable something would have had to happened way before the year term had been completed that prevented it from moving forward as it did.

Review: Once a Month...

Plot was a bit weird. Narrator was pretty decent, able to pull off multiple characters. Middle of the story lagged; the ending was appreciated, but abrupt.

Different

I received this book for free, for an honest review.

This book was an interesting read, different but enjoyable at the same time. The narrator really brought the book to life.

Good story!

I was provided a copy for my review.

Interesting story with flawed characters that made me want to yell at times. The story held my attention and I wanted to know how this would end. I did feel the ending was rushed. I would definitely read more from the author.

Love this book

This book will have you smiling and crying at the same time. I would buy more from this author.

Not a typical love story!

Not my cup of tea. I couldn't get too far past the narrator. She just threw me off and didn't give the book or the character justice. Not that there was much justice to be given. This book was too bland and weird for me to follow along with. Sadly I gave up before the book was over!
