At Twin Oaks Country Club, there are the fortunate ones, and then there are the rest of us: the waiters, the caddies, the valets, and in my case, the cabana girls. Most days, I’m poolside in a pleated skirt, dishing out margaritas to tycoons and titans. It’s not exactly my dream job, but it does come with one perk…

James Ashwood.

He’s my silver lining in a custom black suit.

Besides being a legacy member at the club, he’s a tech mogul and Austin’s most eligible bachelor. Oh, and those dimples? Yeah, they make my stomach dip too.

On good days, I catch his sleek Porsche winding down the tree-lined drive. On better days, I steal a glimpse of his handsome profile as we pass in the hall. And on the absolute best day, I find him alone at the bar, looking for company.

“Come have a seat.”

Those four little words set me down a path I never could have imagined. Private planes, penthouse suites, and temptations around every corner make it impossible to keep my distance. His world feels decadent and wild—but overindulgence comes with a cost. Every kiss comes with strings. Every erotic encounter is a promise I’m not ready to keep.

When I pump the brakes, he hits the gas. James doesn’t want to go slow—he wants a commitment.

And the thing about the fortunate ones?

They’re used to getting what they want.

Overall thoughts on The Fortunate Ones:
This was a bit of a mixed bag. It was an easy read that I enjoyed in one sitting, even though there’s too much on-again/off-again going on. I liked the tension between James and Brooke. Their relationship has some complexity, and I wanted the two of them to get together. At the same time, their chemistry tends to be a little off. Brooke’s sister is rather annoying, but this book should suit drama llamas and hopeless romantics alike.

Is The Fortunate Ones a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes! The story is like an addictive soap opera and the narration is very inviting.

What about Brittany Pressley’s performance did you like or dislike?
I liked the timbre of her voice and the cadence of her speech. The performance sounds realistic and not overly dramatic She breathes life into each character, giving them distinctly unique qualities. 

What does Brittany Pressley bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The story is told from Brooke’s perspective. Brittany Pressley’s delivery highlights Brooke’s emotional nature. It helps the reader sympathize with her struggles, joys, and heartache. 

Would you listen to another book narrated by Brittany Pressley?
Absolutely! I’m already searching for other books narrated by her.
