About this listen

'Deliciously impossible to put down' JODI PICOULT
'Powerful, tragic, and beautiful. Is there anything Sarah MacLean can't do?' ASHLEY POSTON

From bestselling author Sarah MacLean comes a sharp, sexy novel about a family's long-overdue reckoning with hidden desires, destructive secrets . . . and one week that threatens to tear them apart.

Alice Storm isn't like her siblings. While the rest stayed to battle for their parents' approval, and their billions, she walked away, building a life beyond her family's reach. Nothing could induce her to come back. Nothing except the shocking death of her father.

Now back on the family's private island off the Rhode Island coast, she plans to keep her head down, pay the last of her respects, and leave.

But her father had other plans.

The manipulative patriarch left behind a final challenge: an inheritance game designed to unravel the Storm family in ways both petty and life-altering. The rules are simple: stay on the island for one week, complete the tasks, receive the inheritance.

But a week on Storm Island may destroy Alice. The family home seethes with dysfunction, and then there's Jack Dean-her father's infuriatingly attractive second-in-command, watching her every move.

Alice just wants to survive the week. But the Storm legacy isn't done with her yet.

'Money, sex, and intrigue . . . unputdownable from beginning to end' CHRISTINA LAUREN
'From the first rumbles of thunder to the torrential downpour, MacLean takes readers for a wild ride!' ABBY JIMENEZ

Sarah MacLean brought her impressive character development skills to this contemporary romance. I hope very much that this is the first of a series, because, although it did not end with a cliffhanger, I am still very much intrigued to find out what happens next for the Storm family.

Engrossing drama and love story

SO good! More please Ms Maclean. I hope there are many more of your full bodied, messy characters in my listening future along with the satisfying reciprocity of feelings for some.

Characters with vivid personalities and riveting responses to the plot.

Another triumph for narrator Julia Whelan. A layered and engrossing story of dysfunctional families. The development of each character was good too. Sarah Maclean did a great job with this story.

Great read!

Predictable, repetitious, tacky, overly thirsty, unrealistic, boring. Do not read if you value your limited attention and time on this earth.

Truly terrible
