Common Stock

A Steamy Enemies to Lovers Workplace Lesbian Romance

By: Adelia Monroe

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

She was hired to write code. Her boss was programmed for profit. When a deadly secret threatens to crash the biggest tech launch in a decade, the only thing more dangerous is their undeniable chemistry.

Zofia Petrova is a brilliant coder with a conscience, a firebrand who believes technology should serve humanity. When she discovers a fatal flaw in her company’s revolutionary new product—a bug that could get people killed—she refuses to stay silent, even if it means taking on the most powerful woman in tech.

Corinna Vance is the ice-cold CEO of Synapse, a titan who sees people as assets and emotions as liabilities. The Aura launch is her legacy, and she won't let anything—or anyone—stand in her way. To neutralize the brilliant, infuriating engineer causing trouble, Corinna brings her enemy closer, reassigning Zofia to a special task force on the executive floor.

Forced to work together, their bitter rivalry ignites into a line-crossing, forbidden passion. Late nights in the server room and high-stakes arguments in the boardroom lead to stolen moments that threaten to corrupt their carefully constructed firewalls. But as Zofia uncovers a conspiracy that goes far deeper than a single bug, she must choose between the woman she’s falling for and the revolution she’s ready to start. And Corinna must decide if she’s willing to lose her empire to save her soul.

Common Stock is a steamy, full-length standalone lesbian romance packed with corporate intrigue, sharp banter, and heart-pounding passion. Perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers, workplace romance, ice queen heroines, and stories where two powerful women risk it all for a chance at a future neither of them expected.

plot line has possibilities but not realized

book should have been edited. time lines are hopelessly tangled. details are inconsistent. virtual voice is painful to listen to.

voice

artificial voice makes the book feel like one long sentence. would probably be better to read the actual book vs audio only.

Needs editing

The story’s timeline is out of order and there are parts that are repeated for the other MC’s perspective. I’m not sure if the latter is intentional but it should at least be edited due to the former concern.
