Sewanee returns home to learn that one of the most well-known romance authors in the world wants her to perform her final book—with Brock McNight, the hottest, most elusive voice in the business. After having her own ambitions brutally cut short, Sewanee doesn’t buy what romance books are selling, and she stopped writing them years ago. But, her affection for the late author and the chance to give her grandmother greater assistance influence her choice.
Brock and Sewanee develop a genuine bond as they work on the novel under the cover of anonymity, recreating her old romantic pen name. She soon returns to dreaming, but as soon as secrets are disclosed, the reality of life once more crumbles around her.
If she can learn to take risks for desires she has long suppressed, she will open up to a world of acceptance and connection she never thought possible.
The story THANK YOU FOR LISTENING is about Sewanee, an audiobook narrator who began by narrating hot romances before transitioning to best sellers and nonfiction. An audiobook industry favourite mystery guy and male romance narrator Brock McNight is on the other side of the narrative.
But, they come from situations that have damaged them. The supporting cast of the narrative, includes the best friends, Nick, Sarah, Alice, the grandmother, the parents, the bosses, etc. Everyone has the desire to see the damaged individuals get better, but ultimately it is up to them to identify the obstacles in their way.
The plot is wonderfully written, and there are just enough surprises and twists to keep me turning the pages. Our major characters are fascinating because they are imperfect and complex.
