Innocent by Association

Megan McKearn’s family name is being splashed onto the newspaper headlines once again.  Why does her life seem to spiral out of control when ever her ex-lover, Garret Reaves is involved?   With an investment scandal involving her family business as well as Garret, Megan must ask herself is he Guilty by Association or is he Innocent by Association?

With a storyline that involves a dead brother, an ill father, a sleazy attorney, an ex-lover and his ex-wife all twisted up in financial fraud within McKearn Investments, you would naturally assume that this story would be the bee’s knees… Well not so much for me.  I felt that there were some unanswered questions and storylines that never had resolution.

 For a basic love story I guess it was OK.  I could definitely see myself riding down the road, relaxing while listening to the story but I just never got into the storyline. I guess I have learned my lesson; plain romance is not for me.  I still enjoy listening to Lisa Jackson audiobooks but I definitely prefer her suspense titles over romance.

I enjoy Kate Rudd’s narration because you are able to differentiate between the characters, but she does not have the fake male voice that some narrators use.   Ms. Rudd has also narrated Abandoned by Lisa Jackson as well as her new release Sleepwalker.  She has also narrated audiobooks by Debbie Macomber as well as Nora Roberts.

Even though I felt that Innocent by Association’s storyline was a bit weak, it still had the basics of a good romance.  Garret and Kate must try to move past their past and see what the future may hold.  But can Kate forgive and forget, or is Garret destined to use her again?
