Talk to Me

Switchboard Duet, Book 1

By: Heather Long

Narrated by: Brooke Daniels, John Hartley

"Patch online…"

Five years ago, I disappeared from the life I had and built this one. I spend my days and most of my nights on the line, helping my clients achieve their goals. They call me when they are in a jam or are getting ready to move on a target.

I'm their information specialist. The woman in the chair. I'm their switchboard.

Intelligence, electronic eyes, computer hacking—I do it all. My singular goal is to bring my clients home safely. Some clients are more special than others. We all play favorites. I know them, they've never seen me.

No one sees me.

They can hear me. They can talk to me.

I will always answer.

Until the day I don't.

Talk to Me is book one in a duet and is a full-length dark thriller romance with multiple love interests and a heroine they love but have never seen. This is a reverse harem novel, meaning the main female character does not have to choose. Of course, it also means the guys have to agree, and well, that's part of the journey.

Narrated in duet style.

Excellent Narration

The male narrator had me believing this was a full cast! His accents and style of voice infliction sold so much of the story for me! The female narrator had me believing in the strength of Patch!

Not a lot of romance and no HEA

Loved the story line and character development which will help with series. Ends terribly, a to be continued, and not any smut, to very little romance.

Loved it!

Great storyline, not so spicy but lots of action! It does end on a cliffhanger so if that's not something you want then wait for the second book. I can't wait to finish this duet!

differences were clear

I love the story and the male voices were so distinctly different....I mean there was no issue figuring out who was talking. I loved hers too but the having not to guess who was talking was great!

So good and not what I expected

Ok wow! The story line is incredible and is definitely not what I thought it would be. There is so much intrigue happening and a build of these relationships. There is no spice so don’t expect a steamy why choose. It’s building and book 2, Im assuming, will be delivering the spice. But that’s not really even important bc you get so wrapped up in this story. Assassins, high profile government cover ups and conspiracies. Seriously captivating! John and Brooke and amazing! John doing 3 different accents is wild. I’m not used to his American accent so I kind of forget it’s him lol Brooke is phenomenal as always and just truly performs when she narrates. I can’t wait for book 2 to come out!!

Great narration!!

I want to really give credit to the narrators on this one. The book itself was a 5 star read for me but the narrators really brought it to life. I couldn't picture any other voices to fit. Overall great story, something new and different for me. No spice really in this book however the build up has started and I'm excited to see what happens in book 2. Remy had me sucked in from the very beginning and I absolutely love him!

Never disappointed!

Heather is amazing! Not the same old tropes. Story line interesting and narrators pull you in. Huge fan of Brooke, she made patch real.

Hooked, Ruined, and Desperate for More

I’m obsessed with this duet. The storyline? Fresh, fierce, and addictive. The characters? Unforgettable. Patch and her guys feel so real, it’s like they stepped off the page and dragged me straight into their world—willingly. The world-building is rich and immersive, the kind that wraps around you and refuses to let go. And the narrators? Absolute magic. They didn’t just tell the story—they elevated it. Breathed life into every scene, every emotion, every heartbeat. This duet isn’t just a listen—it’s an experience.

Fantastic

This was a fantastic melding of intrigue, romance, and adventure. I am looking forward to the second book!!!!

very well done all around

loved this book! the storyline was unique and well John did an excellent job as narrator. no women trying to sound like a man on this one.
