About this listen
When billionaire Marsh's octogenarian grandmother summons him home for an urgent family dinner, he dreads being force-fed every embarrassing truth about his family he's tried to forget. Never mind that Thanksgiving weekend was when he planned to propose to his girlfriend, Jada, who knows nothing of the nine-figure fortune Marsh has hidden her away for years.
But the money may be the least of his problems - there's a reason why he's never brought Jada to Connecticut. The Brewsters are the special brand of crazy reserved for the ultra-rich. Subjecting his woke Black girlfriend to his stuffy old-money family seems like the least romantic way to kick off his proposal weekend. And after his family's shenanigans, will Jada even say yes?

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 89
Forrest Winters isn’t just a federal fire marshal; he’s a thorn in Ranger Sierra Betts’ side. The way he swings his big axe, fixes her with his chameleon gray eyes, and talks about his jurisdiction has a way of breaking her concentration. He has a way of showing up everywhere he doesn’t belong, including Greenbrier Ranger Station. And he really needs to quit stealing her bacon bites.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 239
I used to be a sensible, responsible good girl who kept her nose buried in textbooks and worked hard to make her father’s dreams come true. Then Keane happened. He was a crude, rude, ruthless Southie bully who only cared about his hockey career and pucking his way through a string of girls. I hated him and I thought he hated me, but then one unexpected spring break kiss changed everything. Moving across the country to go to med school and eventually marrying Keane’s total opposite seemed like the right things to do at the time.

I was hanging with the girls, celebrating my divorce, when I saw him - my crush, sitting in the corner of the bar, all alone. Being single and looking for a wild night, I asked him if he wanted to join me. To my delight, he said yes. On paper, it seemed like I had hit the jackpot. And if I wasn't fresh from a toxic marriage, I would have absolutely noticed the finer things about him. But, I wanted nothing to do with being married, so when I arrived back home from my eventful weekend in Vegas, the last thing I expected to see was a new doting husband already moved in.

Since aging out of the foster care system and becoming a nurse, all I dreamed of was marrying a nice doctor and moving to a two-story house in the suburbs. So how did a dangerous biker gang criminal end up handcuffed to my bed? And why did I agree to let that animal teach me how to...ahem...do things. Wicked things. In the very same bed he’s been handcuffed to in order to keep me safe? Long story. And I’m truly scared to find out how it will end.

Nothing happened, of course - because I, Winnie MacAllister, romance junkie and owner of a constantly broken heart, have sworn off men for one solid year. Even protective men with chiseled jaws, bulging biceps, and deep brown eyes that make my breath come faster.

But when my neighbor and number one menace to my safe plans showed up in Vegas, I did what every adventurous (not!) woman would do. I got drunk and married the man.

Rare-book dealer Ashlyn Greer’s affinity for books extends beyond the intoxicating scent of old paper, ink, and leather. She can feel the echoes of the books’ previous owners—an emotional fingerprint only she can read. When Ashlyn discovers a pair of beautifully bound volumes that appear to have never been published, her gift quickly becomes an obsession. Not only is each inscribed with a startling incrimination, but the authors, Hemi and Belle, tell conflicting sides of a tragic romance.

Loaded
That was a treat for the ears, I really enjoyed it. New to me author gave me a taste and now I want more.
The mysterious entrance of Maw Maw was fun.
Marsh sure kept a lot of secrets I don’t blame Jada for being a bit hurt by it all. It wasn’t like they were just dating it has been a while.
The ending makes me want more!
Fantastic narration both voice fit the characters perfectly.

Cute, quick love story!!
Tim and Nicole do a great job narrating the story and bringing the characters to life. Jada is strong, confident with an honest sophistication and definitely has no problem holding her own. Marsh despite being from old money, is down to earth and relatable. Together, they are great and I was drawn into their story. But Mama, the family matriarch stole the show for me. She is real and simply hilarious!! Would love to see more of these characters.

3.5 ⭐️s - short and sweet
I received to an advanced review copy of the audiobook narrated by Tim Paige and Nicole Lewis, who were both excellent. Paige is a favorite and gave his usual best. Lewis was new to me, and she was just lovely; I can’t wait to hear more from her.
This was an enjoyable TG holiday novella; the central couple is well-matched and I enjoyed them as individuals. If anything, I wish there was more of this book so that there was time to see each more fully fleshed out; the same goes for some of the secondary characters, like Marsh’s parents. It’s the curse of the novella that, though they’re quick and low angst, there’s little room for character development. Still, the writing was very well done and made me interested in seeking more books by Blades because I really like her style.

Short,Sweet & Entertaining
This was a short and definitely Loaded holiday romance! First time listening to Kilby Blades and this was a nice treat. I enjoyed the dual POV of Marsh and Jada and sorta wished it was full story about their romance. Marsh takes Jada to meet his family but he hasn’t told her about he comes from one of the wealthiest families in Connecticut. The family dinner is intense, but Jada can hold her own and surprisingly wins the respect and approval of the matriarch of Brewster family. This was a short, funny, and sweet romance with a few twists & turns thrown in. The ending gives hints to a spin off story, so hope to read more about that. The narration was great! It was my first time listening to Nicole Lewis and she was great as Jada, bringing out the sass and charm. Tim Paige’s performance as Marsh was perfect. They wonderful to listen to!

Grandma, a VC and a lawyer come to Thanksgiving
This novella was filled with wise-cracks, egg nog, racism, and classism. All topics that are prevelant in our society today. But, the humorous dialogue made the story light and offers a triumphant end. Kilby Blades sense of humor and sharp dialogue show her command of the comedic timing and tackling hard topics. If you want non-stop laughs and HEA with your turkey, buy this novella.

Fun and quirky
Tim Paige and Nicole Lewis are new narrators to me and as Kilby Blades is also new to me this was a listen I was excited for. Let me say a wonderful job was done by the author and the narrators and I will certainly be checking out other works by them all.
Loaded is book 4 in the Gilded Love Series but it can certainly be read and enjoyed as a stand-alone. If you are looking for a fun, entertaining listen look no further than this introduction to a world of crazy, quirky characters.
Marsh is taking his girlfriend Jada home to finally meet the family, its the holiday season and after years of dating he can’t avoid the family and the girlfriend meeting any longer. From the moment they arrive at the family home it’s obvious why he has avoided this meeting and this is when the fun and games begin….
A short story full of quirky, charismatic characters who will make you smile and make you giggle, they can be inappropriate but they are also characters you want more from. Looking forward to more from this talented author.

Loaded
Loaded: A Holiday Romance by Kilby Blades … 3 Maple Leafs
Marsh is a multi-millionaire but has never told his girlfriend Jada the complete truth about his family. When they arrive in Connecticut for Thanksgiving dinner at his Mama’s place, the whole truth about who he is comes to light.
Loaded was my first book by Kilby Blades and unfortunately I just did not connect with this story in anyway. I felt little to no connection to the main characters. In my opinion it is a clean romance which I usually avoid.
Audio … Tim Paige and Nicole Lewis did a good job narrating the story.
Genre/Tropes … Holiday Romance, Interracial Romance, Millionaire Romance
POV … First Person Dual

Delightful holiday novella. Great listen!
Loaded: A Holiday Romance by Kilby Blades is a delightful Christmas novella. This audiobook was narrated by Tim Paige and Nicole Lewis. This is a quick and easy read. It was so well done with a fast pace and engaging storyline.
In this story, we meet Marsh and Jada, a couple on their way to visit Marsh's extended family for the holidays. He's never introduced Jada to them, (believe me, he has his reasons...) I loved that even though this was an already established relationship and the book was rather short, we get to experience all the feels and get a great sense of this couple's devotion to each other. Marsh is nervous to introduce her to his family and Jada is confident and successful, but grows more and more suspicious as she learns more about Marsh's family and past. There is tension, drama, humor, lots of love, (although not a lot of heat) and a super swoony ending.
Tim Paige and Nicole Lewis were wonderful in this. I just love Tim's deep, resonant voice and Nicole was new to me, but did a fabulous job.

Mixed Feelings
This book starts off slow, picks up in the middle of an established love story, and then ends with a happy for now for this couple but also like there is more to tell.
The BEST part of the story is when the grandmother drops the hammer at dinner and shocks the room.
Oh also it is not disclosed anywhere but the END OF THE BOOK that this is the fourth book in a series that may or may not have anything to do with each other.
The narrators: Tim Paige is a favorite of mine and I will follow him to the ends of the earth book wise.
Nicole Lewis is new to me and she took some time to warm up to.
