About this audiobook
On the surface, Anise seems to have it all: a successful career, a solid marriage, and good friends. But when she applies for a promotion at work, she loses out to a white colleague who isn't nearly as qualified for the job. However, the problem at work is only the beginning of Anise's troubles. After being married for four seemingly blissful years, she discovers that her husband is having an affair. And to make matters worse, her best friend at work is keeping dangerous secrets.
But Anise is no quitter. As brave as she is determined, she reaches deep inside her soul to find the strength and courage to overcome heartbreak and stay her course. Ultimately, she will discover that what is worth having is worth fighting for-in her career and, most important, in her heart.
Contains mature themes.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5If you had to deal with office politics and the absolute clownery that has to be dealt with in and out of the office as a black women this book is for you … Entertaining and quite relatable
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Love has no color. Work place discrimination still exists in 2024.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a book that will keep you interested in what will happen next. For me, it pissed me off, made me hold my breathe, go aw!!, smile, put me disbelief, and say; way to go!!!
I do recommend to have an open mind when reading this book. It is a good and easy read. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5very enjoyable book and
narrator was very good I can't wait to listen to another book by this author - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book isn’t K.R’s best. It’s okay. It has the potential to be more & ultimately I feel it’s a let down. It touches on internalized racism, racism in corporate america, and interracial dating, which is a lot. None of it really fleshed out. The whole book I kept waiting for something to happen. Nothing ever did.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent book!! Kept my attention and interest the entire time!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5As always, I loved any book Mrs. Roby writes. I am looking forward reading more books by her.
