Publisher's Summary:
It all started with a question.
When Liz Doughertys first reporting assignment for her North Carolina college newspaper finds her covering a state senators impromptu press conference, she has no idea how drastically her life is about to change. Senator Brady Maxwell may look the part with his devastating good looks and impeccable style, but his politics rub Liz the wrong way, and shes not going to let him off easy.
Lizs hardball question catches Brady off guard and shows her editor, Hayden Lane, that shes headed places as journalist. But to Lizs surprise, shes also headed for a secret, high-stakes romance with Brady Maxwell that could destroy the careers they each hold dear.
Unsatisfied with sneaking around and realizing things with Hayden might not be strictly platonic, Liz faces a difficult decision: Should she take things with Brady to the next level or call the whole thing off? They soon discover that in love, unlike politics, theres rarely a clear winner.
Members Reviews:
OK story, but it didn't end
12 hours long and the story doesn't end, to be continued in the next book. I really dislike that type of cliff hanger ending.
Not as good as I heard from reviews
I was really interested in hearing and reading this book due to reviews, but I'm now thinking that the good reviews were from readers to loved to listen to the f word and A LOT of SEX in GRAPHIC FORM. It was slow moving for too many chapters and please tell me...a Senator with a college student!? Too far fetched...also the girl was a complete door mate. I'm hoping the next one she gets a backbone
Cliffhanger and the story...boriiiiiing
She lives too much in her head!!!!!
It gets very boring, very slow and repetitive.
I hate to let things unfinished so, I HAD to buy the second book but, I am done with this author...
Not Even Worth $7
Would you try another book from K. A. Linde and/or Natalie Ross?
Probably not. I think K.A. Linde is a good writer, she can describe steamy scenes well, but other than that, I found the story lacking in authentic connection between the main characters. She also relied on too many stereotypes the characters were all one dimensional. Natalie Ross is a good narrator, but I think her male voices sounded too similar.
Would you ever listen to anything by K. A. Linde again?
No. I really wanted to like this book. For the price and the length I gave the book so much more lead-way to impress me, but when I was indifferent about starting part two, I realized I really did not like this book and probably wouldn't like anything else by this author.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Natalie Ross?
I think Jill Redfield would have been wonderful.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Off the Record?
It wasn't a matter of too much, as much as not enough deep meaningful conversations between Liz and Brady, and that's' not the editor's job, it's the author's.
Any additional comments?
I really wanted to like this book. I did, but I hated it. I felt Brady was just a spoiled brat on steroids, "I want political career, I want sex with Liz, I want it all on my terms. Give me now!" This is how I felt every time Brady talked about their relationship or every time he treated Liz like a booty call.
