What’s the difference between a “good girl” and a “bad girl”? Which one would he rather have? Which one would she rather be? Or is it possible to be both? This tasty short erotic tale by Sharazade gets to the (bare) bottom of the issue.

Utterly sexy and clever. A hell of a way to wake up on a Sunday morning. –Sommer Marsden, author of "Calendar Girl" and "Base Nature"

"Good Girl" has wicked humor, biting wit, and steamy heat, everything you’d expect from Sharazade. No disappointment in this hot little number. –KD Grace, author of "The Pet Shop" and "The Initiation of Miss Holly"

Shar’s erotica never fails to combine sexy sensuality with red-hot scenarios that are both believable and searingly honest. –Kay Jaybee, author of "The Perfect Submissive"

I'm a professional writer, editor, and consultant, with more than 20 books published under another name. I divide my time among Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and the U.S. I enjoy stories that are realistic enough that they might have happened and fanciful enough that they might not have. I value communication, adventure, exploration, passion, and love.

I might have given this book one star, but for the sections with the British-born mother. Those passages are, for the most part, at least credible, and the emotional depth is appropriate. The other sections, however, those of the detective and the criminal, were desperately in need of an edit. The voices are cliched, so much so that the detective sounds like a parody of 1940s noir literature (and not a good one at that). The criminal is the same, only without the occasional unintended giggles. On top of that, the plot is predictable and slow moving. How I wished for more.

The Good Girl This was an interesting book that didn't turn out to be at all what I expected.
I don't quite remember where I got the recommendation from, but this had been on my list of books to listen to for a while. I do prefer the audiobooks for my fiction, and this one turned out great. The synopsis does a good job of setting up the story, but there are still some surprises along the way.
First of all, there's the way the story is told. The author uses rotating first person perspectives between Colin, Eve, and Gabe. This lets us be in the mind of the perpetrator, someone worried about the victim (her mother), and the detective who is trying to find the victim. It also jumps in time throughout where Colin's perspective are consistently in the moment of the kidnapping but Eve and Gabe could either be looking for Mia or trying to piece together what happened after it all.
I was also pleasantly surprised to find that the "emotional entanglements that eventually cause this family's world to shatter" was not just some straightforward Stockholm syndrome. It's much more complicated than that. Both Colin and Mia are much more complicates than that.
As the pieces began to fall into place, it became satisfying to watch it all play out but wasn't particularly surprising anymore. I thought Mia's brief moment as a point of view character in the epilogue was interesting but not really necessary to close out the story. I suppose that's why it was the epilogue, but I usually find them more satisfying than I did with her. Perhaps it was what she added to the story more than that it was there.
Altogether it was a great book, though. It kept my interest and was well paced. I thoroughly enjoyed all the characters. Surprisingly, I think Colin was my favorite. He was developed well enough that I just couldn't help it.

Digital audiobook narrated by Lindy Nettleton, Johnny Heller, Tom Taylorson, and Andi Arndt.3.5*** From the book jacket: Born to a prominent Chicago judge and the stifled socialite wife, Mia Dennett moves against the grain as a young inner-city art teacher. One night, Mia enters a bar to meet her on-again, off-again boyfriend. But when he doesn’t show, she unwisely leaves with an enigmatic stranger. With his smooth moves and modest wit, at first Colin Thatcher seems like a safe one-night stand. But following Colin home will turn out to be the worst mistake of Mia’s life. My reactionsKurbca write a good psychological thriller. She uses four narrators: Eve (Mia’s mother), Colin, Gabe (the detective), and Mia (for just the epilogue); and two time lines: “Before” and “After.” In this way, the reader quickly knows that Mia is back at home with her family, but finding out what, why and how things exactly happened takes patience … and several twists in the plot.I was caught up in the intrigue, and interested in these characters and how they fit together. The changing points of view and time lines kept me off balance, much as the characters in the scenario might feel, each of them having only a piece of the puzzle and struggling to make sense of, and even survive, a situation they could not possibly control. What I most look for in this genre is a plot that keeps me interested, and keeps me guessing. Kubica delivered that. After that final plot twist, I went back and skimmed over it to see if there were clues I had completely missed. There were.The audio book is narrated by four talented voice artists, though I don’t know who performed which characters. They were all very good, maintaining a great pace and making it easy to follow the back-and-forth time line and perspective.

Picked this up in our Airbnb and will probably leave it here, too. Decent suspense, though outcome was pretty much telegraphed early on. I think this was a debut novel, so might keep an eye open for future works. Good vacay read.

The Good Girl by Mary KubicaMia, the daughter of a prominent Judge goes missing. At first her Mother (Eve) thinks nothing of it, but soon starts to have doubts. Mia meets up with a stranger at a bar, (Colin) thinking it will be a one night stand. But she finds herself in an abduction for extortion and things take a different turn. Soon Detective Gabe Hoffman is on the case, determined to find out exactly what happened.A fast paced psychological thriller, with an intriguing plot, non stop drama, suspense, twists and turns. The characters are well developed , with engaging dialog pulling you into the story and not letting go. I was hooked from the first page until the last. I highly recommend The Good Girl to those who love a great psychological thriller/suspense.
