Work: Strictly Professional

Bad Decisions, Book 2

By: Jesse H Reign

Narrated by: Kirt Graves, Shannon Gunn

"Not to worry, I'll compensate you for your time and your… skill."

My boss is a walking red flag. He's bolshy and rude. Impossible to please. A big, broody man with dark eyes that carry an unmistakable message—"I am not manageable."

Seriously, he's the worst.

If it's not bad enough that he's a nightmare in the office, he's all but ordering me to be his date to his son's wedding. He says it's called "winning a divorce." I try telling him that's not a real thing but it falls on deaf ears.

Not only that, he appears to be in the throes of a major personal awakening and is determined that I'm the man to guide him through it. Normally, I'm all for going above and beyond in the name of being a star performer at work, but the services he requires are becoming increasingly indecent.

See what I mean? Red flags galore. So many red flags I can't count them all. I might as well be playing a game of red flag bingo at this point.

Just my luck, when it comes to Derek MacAvoy… I see a red flag and instantly want to date it.

Work: Strictly Professional can be enjoyed as a standalone, but is best enjoyed after Rent: Paid in Full.

Book was better

Kirt always fits his voice to the character, but I did not like Derek’s narrator at all. He just sounded angry even when the dialogue was meant to be passionate. And his take on Wyn’s character made him sound like a little old man. I enjoyed the book version of this story very much, but in my opinion, Shannon’s narration ruined the audio experience for me.

Interesting story. 1 good narrator…1 not so great narrator

Kirt Graves always does great narrations. Shannon who voiced Derek was…not good. It was hard to listen to some of his chapters.

Overall the story was decent. Interesting enough to keep me entertained while I did some house chores.

Narration (Kirt): 5/5
Narration (Shannon): 2/5
Story: 3.8/5

Loved it!

I absolutely loved this book! Wyn is adorable and Kirt does a great job with the narration. It took a little bit to embrace Shannon’s narration of Derek but I ended up loving it too. Definitely recommend!

Sweet, Spicy & SO funny!

This was such a great book! I loved Wyn so much!! I laughed out loud several times listening to it. It was low angst, spicy and sweet. I would listen to it again.

Adorable and steamy

This was absolutely adorable and steamy AF. I loved Wyn and Derek. This boss to lovers story is so cute and steamy and amazing. And it was amazing getting to see Miller and Ryan’s wedding from Wyn and Derek’s pov. Well written, made me laugh out loud and smile so big, fan myself. The characters were so endearing and real. The narrators do an amazing job bringing these characters to life. Such an amazing series.

Terrific Narration!!!!

This is one of my favorite books. It’s so funny, sexy, and sweet with endearing characters. It’s so hard to find audiobooks that I enjoy listening to as much as I enjoy reading. This audiobook DOESN’T DISAPPOINT!! It’s so good! The narrators performances are fantastic. I loved it! I highly recommend this book in any form!!!

Another delightful story

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I wish it would have addressed something said in the first book on why Marshall thought his dad was cheating on his mom. I think that would have helped a little because if your kid thinks you're cheating, that needs to be addressed. I think one of the narrators is reading the wrong genre. He's not bad exactly, but he's doing way too much for romance and it's wierd. He should stick with like science fiction or fantasy and I bet he'd shine. With romance it's just way too much. Still, enjoyable and worth the credit.

Loved the book - narration not so much

I love the book and the story but Derek’s narrator made it very hard to listen to the whole audio book.

Loved Wyn

I really loved the book so I thought I would get the audio a try. The voice the narrator chose to use for Derek was awful. Wyn’s narrator was great though.

Really disappointed

I’ve been looking forward to this release since listening to the first book in the series. But I am sorely disappointed… the internal monologue was so drawn out and over the top leaving really little character interaction. The side characters were more of a focus than the MC’s which was annoying. And we barely see the relationship between the MC’s grow until the last 3 chapters. Derek’s narrator was also over the top dramatic but the writing was as well so I can’t blame it on them. I almost DNF but I wanted to see what would happen. I wouldn’t waste a credit..
