Key Change by Heidi Hutchinson

3.0

I was given an ARC of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

Key Change is the third installment in the Common Threads romance series. This book follows the story of Ashton James alias Hannah Lee, once a famous (or infamous, depending on your perspective) pop singer, now living under the radar caring for her younger sister, Piper. When Hannah runs into a ghost from her former life, she has to determine what steps she will take to make sure her true identity is never exposed.

Johnny is a down-on-his luck singer/songwriter/producer whose shared past with Ashton James has done more harm than good in his life. When he's confronted with Hannah Lee and discovers her true identity, he has to decide if he is going to exact revenge or let bygones be bygones.

This is a delightful romance with music and family at the center. I loved the story and the relationship between Hannah and Johnny that developed throughout the course of the novel.

My major gripe with this edition was the quality of the audiobook recording. There were two narrators, and the female narrator was great; however, the male narrator was distractingly bad. His gruff voice came off as constipated and his female inflection was just horrible. Additionally, the quality of the recording sounded like the microphone effect was turned up to 100 with major reverb throughout the entire book.

My honest opinion is to read the digital book because the recording was pretty tough to stomach. Great story!

Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for the opportunity to exchange an honest review for the audiobook!
