Story
Neve Blackthorne, head of one of the most successful Studios in Hollywood, is the one to rule them all. Powerful, beautiful, and aloof, she's ruthless, yet irresistible. Above all, she has an unquenchable survival instinct. Surely a fleeting entanglement with one Audrey Avens, a bright, young, rising star in her company, won't bring down the Wicked Queen of Tinseltown. Or will it? Neve's public persona has no chink in the untouchable armor, but when the lights go out and the cameras stop rolling, what becomes of an Ice Queen whose heart is ruled by love and fear?

Story
Melanie Crenshaw has fallen off the proverbial map. Notoriously private on a good day, the world-famous mystery author has gone dark to avoid any public blowback or scandal from her latest failed relationship. Seeking quiet and solace, she retreats to her rural hometown, hoping isolation will be just the atmosphere she needs to finish her novel. But going back home is never as easy as it sounds, especially when a nosy reporter starts sniffing around.

Good strong character
This is a good survivor book. Not a subject you find a lot of but unfortunately it happens. It’s good to see a fighter get her HEA. Likeable characters. Good narration.

Good Story
I enjoyed this story. It's sweet and has likable characters. These two women have to overcome struggles and pain in their past. I just felt like it was missing something to bring it from a good story to a great one.
The narration wasn't my favourite. There were some mistakes and background noises.

I loved this story..
Great story about two women who are trying to overcome their past to have a future together. I had a little issue with the strong southern accent of the narrator because the characters weren’t distinctive enough. Overall the book is worth getting.

Shed that baggage
Personal and interpersonal conflict weave through the lives of the women in this book in a predictably unpredictable fashion. Several social issues facing women today are well addressed here. I appreciate that they are addressed within the framework of women who love women. The way this group of women confront their life experiences and the fallout from their behavior makes this a great read, If you are looking for nice smelling roses remember you have to fertilize them with manure first some times. I really enjoyed Sleeping on Couches and will read it again. Caroline Downs does a great job bringing the individual journeys and emotions to life through her narration.
