Luxe

The Luxe Series, Book 1

By: Ashley Antoinette

Narrated by: Kim Johnson

From New York Times best-selling author Ashley Antoinette, author of the Prada Plan series, comes a boldly fierce and strikingly dramatic novel, Luxe.

Bleu Montclair knew as a young girl that she would one day escape the hard, unrelenting streets of Flint, Michigan. When her desperate prayers are answered in the form of a scholarship to UCLA, she knows she's struck gold. But soon after arriving, all her beautiful, bright dreams begin to fall apart. Endless temptations abound in the form of cars, clothes, booze, and drugs, and Bleu cannot keep up. When her roommate gives her the opportunity to make a lot of money fast, Bleu goes all in - and heads straight down a path of violence and addiction that only her newest protector, Iman, can save her from.

Iman is used to the fast, unpredictable, high-rolling life, and it has always been enough until he meets Bleu. He finally has someone to care for who means more to him than all the money and power he could command. But love on the streets is never easy.

Needed a better narrator

The story was good but the narrator talked with a lisp and you could hear the pages turn. She even tripped over her words. She didn't do the story any good. It was if she wasn't prepared for the recording.

Good read BUT

Overall, the book is good. I’m starting to notice a trend in ALL of Ashley Antoinette books....especially the philosophy class both Morgan and Bleu took. I’m still addicted to the characters, that’s why I read.

The performance was awful. I understand the woman can’t help her impediment BUT who in the HELL allows a woman with a lisp to read...can hear her swallow spit and all—-not a good idea

She did it again!!

Loved loved it!! Can't wait to read part 2. I have read all of Ethics and butterfly, waiting on book 2 of butterfly now. Amazing reads

Narrator has gum in her mouth/ no edits

Narrator has gum in her mouth and its obvious that nobody edited her slip ups. at one point, the actually says" Oh it says bound" and just keeps going....but the book is awesome!

great read

looking forward to reading book 2. loved the read. Hope blue make the right choice
