“Holy Cow Nicole Edwards can write a smoking hot romance that is sure to have you squirming in your seat…For anyone that is a fan of Lorelei James you’re sure to see a similarity. Nicole Edwards definitely knows how to make a story hot and fun to read.”
Riverina Romantics
Zoey Stranford might've had a crush on the sexy boy next door since middle school, but she's a woman now, and that crush has turned into a full-blown case of lust. So why is it that at twenty-nine her libido decides to ramp into high gear, making her only focus the intensely sexy, scorching hot boy next door—who is definitely not a boy anymore? The problem is, Zoey and Kaleb have been best friends for as long as she can remember. Not to mention that Kaleb and his brothers are trying to buy Stranford land to build a new resort, and she's more than a little uncertain about his intentions.
Kaleb Walker has had his eye on Zoey for close to twenty years, but never before has he considered taking their friendship to the next level, no matter how many fantasies he's had about her over the years. Suddenly he is hell-bent on having her—in as many ways as possible. Kaleb finds himself in a precarious situation. His brothers have nominated him to pursue Zoey's father about the land needed to get their new resort off the ground. When he learns Carl Stranford is on the brink of foreclosure and Zoey might lose her house and the land, Kaleb must convince her to put aside her pride and let him help her.
It doesn't take long before the flames start burning bright and hot, and the two of them burn up the nights and the days as they explore each other's forbidden fantasies. But can their friendship survive a business transaction or the new friends-with-benefits clause? Or will they realize that they've been overlooking something much deeper that's been right in front of them all along?

Maybe this would have been better if I read it in e-book format, but the narration was so bad that I couldn't stand it. Normally when I listen to an audiobook, I can listen for hours at a time if the readers are good. Unfortunately, Eliza Grace and Freddie Bates were so bad that I only made about a third of the way through the book before I gave up torturing myself.
Based on the content that I did listen to, the writing is very uneven and needs a lot of editing. Overall, "Kaleb" was a total loser for me.
My First Nicole Edwards -- A great start to a new series
I requested an audio copy of Kaleb: Alluring Indulgence, Book 1 by Nicole Edwards through Audiobook Jukebox in exchange for an honest review. This is an unabridged reading of the book, nearly eight hours in length. As Audiobook Jukebox has specific requests of information to be included in the review, I will to my best to follow their guide while providing a helpful review to those undecided about reading or listening to this book.
I requested this book knowing that it has been on my to-read list for quite a while and I was happy for an opportunity to listen rather than read. The story, the first in a series about seven brothers (which I believe is a spin-off series from her Club Destiny Series) is written in alternating chapters from two points of view, His being Kaleb, and Hers being Zoey.
This is a contemporary romance, heavy on lust and passion between two friends who have been friends for 20 years and who have each decided to no longer keep their feelings for the other a secret. I have briefly skimmed through other reviews of this story in which some reviewers believe this story it too light on plot and too heavy on erotica. I would have to disagree, somewhat. The story does have an uncomplicated storyline focusing on the two main characters, their history and their present, rather than intertwined lives of all primary characters and this is only the first book …. So, yes, the plot is a bit light because the story is straightforward and is not completed by the time the reader reaches the final page. This is just the beginning. About the idea of being “too heavy on erotica”, I would also have to disagree. There are four primary scenes; two involving m/f/m situations and none are gratuitous in their detail. There is no BDSM, but there is exploration between the two that neither had tried in their separate pasts.
Thankfully, the author and/or production company decided to use two readers, Freddie Bates and Elizabeth Grace Saunders, which was perfect! Not only did the two readers lend authenticity by reading the chapters of their gender, the two readers did an excellent job instilling emotion into their voices as dictated by the scene/action of the story. This is exactly what makes this reader a huge fan of audio books… readers/narrators who put passion, anger, joviality, worry, confusion and other emotions into their voice as they read.
Technically, the recording quality was flawless in that nothing about the recording pulled me out of or distracted me from the story – no technical disruptions, no background noises, good flow from the end of one chapter to the beginning of the next, no volume changes between the readers, and excellent emotion from the readers as dictated by the story (have I said that already?!?!?)
I highly recommend this audio book if you wish to listen to passion and romance and the start of a seven-part series. There is a small cliff hanger, but not as it relates to the two main characters – only as it relates to the brother that is the focus of the next book in the series. I can assure you that as soon as I submit this review, I look forward to reading or listening to the next book!
