About this listen

Pragmatic Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Officer Anita Kidd, a child born to her underaged mother who had repeatedly been raped, has faced more challenges at age 21 than most people face in a lifetime. First, her mother was murdered, and her body burned when Anita was 11. Then, her maternal grandmother died when Anita was a 16-year-old college student. Finally, she and her younger brother were separated and forced into the Child Protective Services system until she aged out at 18. Nevertheless, Anita waged a legal battle for custody of her brother, but was running out of money to pay her lawyer and save her only home. So, in addition to her day job as a county cop, she takes on a part-time job singing and playing her guitar with an up-and-coming band at a new Rodeo Drive hot spot.

When Miguel Menendez-Gaza was six, his mother, Anna, and nine-year-old sister, Angelique, literally walked or hitch-hiked from their small town in Peru to Washington, DC. When they arrived, they found that Miguel’s father had been murdered and burned in a boarding house fire. If it weren’t for a group of law students, he, his mother, and his sister might have perished in a blizzard in the capital city. Now Miguel is 24, a multimillionaire, the recipient of several Academy Awards for his movie roles, makes high-fashion modeling appearances for the top clothing designers, and has recurring roles in both daytime and nighttime television dramas. As if he weren’t busy enough, he’s starting to do something with his musical talent and aspirations.

Anita and Miguel met at a music rehearsal. Their voices blended like Ashford and Simpson or Peaches and Herb. Yet, someone from their past is trying to silence their sweet sounds.

A Great Listen

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the narrator and found it very enjoyable. These books are based on family and friends, and just like life, all emotions are shown. Anita and Miguel met at an audition, but fate puts them together as Miguel gets ready for a new movie and is riding along in her police car. His security notices they're being tracked, but it's not Miguel they're threatening. It's always interesting to see characters grown up after first meeting them as children. The suspenseful, fast moving plot will keep you listen until the end. This is a very enjoyable series that just keeps getting better.

More Involvement with The Alexander and Montgomery

I total enjoyed this book. It is about the lives of Anita Kidd and Miguel Menendez-Gaza, how they grew up and met and fell in love and the connections of the Alexander and Montgomery member with Miguel. I enjoyed both their struggles with growing up especial with Anita fighting for her brother. Recommend if you enjoy a heartwarming book
