Merger

Takeover Duet, Book 2

By: Chelle Bliss

Narrated by: Brian Pallino, Natasha Soudek

Two rivals. One enemy. And an ending no one saw coming.

When Antonio Forte met Lauren Bradley, he never expected that making the choice between a possible relationship with her or destroying her company in a hostile takeover would be a hard one. Antonio has always put business before pleasure, but, for the first time, he wants both. After proposing a merger of their two companies, Antonio is hoping Lauren accepts his offer so he can show her the world and together they can have it all.

In a world dominated by men, Lauren's leery of anyone willing to show mercy - especially the very handsome, smooth-talking Antonio. Lauren doesn't trust easily, especially when it comes to someone who is threatening to dismantle her company, but she'd be lying if she said she didn't find his offer tempting. After finally deciding the path she will choose, a bigger problem emerges - the real enemy is lurking in the shadows and closer than she ever expects.

Merger is the follow-up to Acquisition in the Takeover Duet.

OMG!

I could not put this down! Chelle Bliss pulls you back into Antonio and Laurens life. The business deal is still ongoing, the heat level between these two is smoking, and now an unknown enemy shows their face. The narrators will kidnap you!

Ok story and narration

The book was ok. At the beginning, the main character's misunderstanding of a one-sided conversation almost derailed the story. Instead of getting clarification, she chooses to draw her own conclusion and starts acting irrationally. Fortunately, the situation gets resolved and the story back on track. The rest of the story was mostly enjoyable.
The male narrator was good, the three stars are mainly for him. The female narrator constantly sounded like she was running out of breath or being strangled, it was distracting.

Eh.....

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I would have read it if I knew the male narrator would drive me mad!

Would you ever listen to anything by Chelle Bliss again?

Yes I love her books, but the male narrator must go!

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Brian Pallino and Natasha Soudek ?

Sebastian York hands down.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

No.

Any additional comments?

I love her books and I wanted to like this one, but it was slow. Definitely has potential as a kindle read instead of narration.

Great

Wow what an amazing story. Love Antonio he is one sexy hot as hell man. He gets what he wants. Lauren is one strong smart woman. They make for one dynamic power couple. Could not put this book down. What an amazing all consuming love story.

Great Merger

Loved this story and the overall Takeover Duet series. Lauren and Antonio have a wonderful story, from the board room to the bedroom. I loved strong Lauren and compassionate Antonio. However, Antonio is not only physically strong, he is also a strong leader of the number one company in the aerospace industry. Lauren's personal life history is satisfied by Antonio. They complete each other. Great story with great narrators.
