The Good Mistress: A BWWM Billionaire Romance

Good Mistress Series, Book 1

By: Amarie Avant

Narrated by: Lacy Laurel, Ryan Turner

Mila Ali's fiance Warren is killed in a corporate plane crash. Grief wraps around her heart and soul - cushioning her to the outside world and the reality that is now her life. Warren had been many things to her: friend, lover, and even a part-time savior. After spending too many years working too many hours for a large corporation, Mila was able to let go and love Warren, even at the expense of losing her traditional Somalian father's favor.

Nothing could have prepared her for such a devastating loss, yet the fragile bubble she has built around her heart is shattered when Mila comes face to face with Blake Baldwin - billionaire, womanizer, Warren's boss...and the owner of that fateful airplane.

Blake Baldwin is too handsome for words, with a body that could melt hearts and a piercing stare that cut through Mila's every defense. The encounter seems to ignite a fascination in the enigmatic billionaire, one that sends him to the beautiful Somalian's door again and again....

Mila is not looking for love - been there, done that, but Blake will not rest until Mila Ali is his. He thrusts her into a frenzy of confusion, deception, and passion. Blake just may be the bandage Mila's wounded heart and neglected body needs, or he could be the biggest heartbreak of all.

Contains mature themes.

I love listening to audible books

I love the story it was very interesting. I loved it. good romance story. I fully recommend it.

I really wanted to love this…

Well, the book was good. It wasn’t great. It’s like we get it, he’s a billionaire but all the references over and over and over about the cars the clothes it was just a little over the top which began to make the story unbelievable and that’s where I was stuck.

Beautiful

The story captured my heart and enjoy it deeply. Beautiful story left me wanting more.

A good read

I enjoyed the story but I thought the lead female character became really annoying at a certain point. I nearly didn't finish the book because of it. Interested in the next installment to see how the characters evolve. Overall, I would recommend this book to friends.

I loved it

When is part two coming out? I would like to listen to part two. I have read both on my kindle twice.

Loved it!! I need more books by this writer OMG!!

Omg!! Get this book I was on edge the whole time
I adore this writer and the narrator's were equally as good!!! Magnificent

Just DON'T DO IT!!!

It's not just the monotone narration or the questionable plot. From the point where the male character fantasized about his dead friend's/employee's fiancee AT HIS FUNERAL, it went down hill for me. The male character's behavior felt manipulative and predatory while the female characters/widow swung between sadness, to being comfortable ruled by her libido. I am taking a break, right here at chapter 9, not sure if I will be back.

Wow

Loved it from beginning to end. Was so worried about the ending and what was going on with her father

Love good lust book

So. I love a little smut like the rest of them. But no one wants to read a story about a man cumming on a woman’s face. That is not appealing in no way constantly a man talking about cumming down her throat.

I was pleasantly surprised! 3.5 sly stars

Thanks to book 2 of this series leaving audible on the 4th, I finally buckled down and read it as I was about out of time. Boy am I ever glad I did. In the end, I didn’t listen half as much as a frantically flipped through my kindle. I could not wait to see what happened next as this book was FULL of intrigue and mystery. A lot of which remain unsolved but I’m assuming will be done so in book 2.
Let me preface this next part by admitting: I am picky about my narrators! I have long standing favorites and am enthralled with the tenor and cadence of their voices. The different layers and inflection have hooked me in to read just about anything they narrate. So all of that being said, I didn’t care for either narrator: Ryan Turner or Lacy Laurel. Neither did it for me unfortunately so here’s to hoping the next set on book two are different.
The H in this story I don’t like at all at first. He came off as your typical F-boy to a T. He slowly came around and changed my perception thankfully. He is still a bit of a mystery and I THINK everything is on the up and up but not positive…Blake is a tricky character with many layers. A great one was when he turned a little Alpha. I love a possessive H.
Then we had Mila, our h who had a heart as big as Mississippi. Good intentions and al aye putting everyone else’s needs before her own. Unfortunately, people in her life see this and take great pride in using this against her. She has morals and also a wall up as she list her fiancé and came to an epiphany after he’d passed.
The story takes you on a slightly darker romantic journey with tons of who dun it times thrown in to keep it spicy. Speaking of, those scenes were hot hot hot for sure. The book definitely did not lack for that.
All in all a really good book to take me out of reality for awhile which I loved. I’m officially a fan of Amarie Avant and will always read just about anything she produces.
