TOTALLY FELL LOVE WITH THE BOOK AND THE CHARACTERS!!!! 5 Stars isn’t anywhere enough stars for this romantic comedy. Talk British to Me ranks as one of my ALL-TIME FAVORITE BOOKS! I read it in 24 hours! Once I started, I couldn’t put it down. I had to force myself to get at least a few hours of sleep.

Mateo is the host of a hit radio show that gives a single guy’s perspective on dating. He dates a lot and quite a few women have ended up in his bed. It’s the perfect job for him even if he has a no relationship clause in his contract…he’s no where near ready to settle down that is until he literally runs into Teague. He’s mesmerized from that moment on. He knows there is something special about her from that moment. Too bad she is the girl that you would commit to. Plus, she wants nothing to do with him. He isn’t used to being given the brush-off. Luckily for us, readers, Teague later agrees to Mateo’s offer of friendship…just friends, after finding out her new boss is Mateo’s mother. No way does she want to lose her job. But, the sparks are way TOO hot!!!! I wondered how long it would take them to give into each other. I knew when they did everything would change.

I loved the storyline. There were little secrets kept, like Mateo’s identity as Bennett. He has perfected the British accent he uses for the show, so Teague has no idea who he really is! I loved the slow build-up and electric sexual chemistry that the author used to keep me interested. It was perfect timing. As I was waiting for the inevitable to happen, a friendship developed between them. So, it wasn’t just lust, a deep caring bond occurred between them; one that lasts a lifetime.

OMG! I loved the characters, even Mateo’s hard butt Momma. I adored the friendship between Teague and her BFF, Harper. Bielman sums it up perfectly:

“We’re totally different but complement each other perfectly. She’s the loud to my quiet, tough to my soft, careless to my careful. She’s the flip side of me, and I love her like a sister.” ~ Teague

Who wouldn’t fall in love with Teague? She is just so adorable and has no problem showing others kindness.

“She is so d$$$ considerate she must have unicorn in her, because I’ve yet to meet a girl as selfless as she is.” ~ Mateo

As sweet as she is, she also has a backbone and doesn’t let others run over her. That is part of her appeal to both Mateo’s mother and Mateo himself. She finds him irresistible yet she doesn’t fawn all over him like other girls do. She sees him for just who he is…flaws and all.

“No one has ever looked at me the way she does, with honest-to-goodness, genuine consideration and interest. Like she doesn’t give a s$$$ what everyone else knows or sees. She wants to know the real me.” ~Mateo

Speaking of Mateo, he might have a huge ego, but underneath it all, he really is a sweet guy. I discovered he isn’t single because he wants to perpetually be a bachelor. He was hurt deeply by his ex’ just like Teague was. So, the two are helping each other heal. I loved seeing him fall for her.

“I’m completely taken with this girl. Her kiss. Her body. Her humor, intelligence, and genuine sweetness. She’s the kind of air I want to breathe in every single day.” ~ Mateo

This book is as perfect as a book can be! It has it all: romance, spice, friendship, humor, and great characters! I love how the writer hinted that there may be a future book about Harper and possibly Levi! I can’t wait for that one. If you want a book that will leave you weak in the knees and a smile on your face, grab this one NOW!!!!

Talk British to Me is an adorable, light, low drama and little angst story of Mateo Gallagher and Teague Watters. It’s a slow burn romance, with sexual tension and anticipation. Sexy times with a little dirty talk thrown in, Mateo and Teague definitely have chemistry along with their funny and flirtatious banter. Add in the secondary characters, some awesome friends and Talk British to Me is a great start to the Wherever You Go series leaving lots of room for more. Told in dual POV, it’s a sweet read.

Have you seen this cover? When ARCs for this one came up, there was no way I wasn't going to grab a chance to read it. Did it live up to my expectations?

Yes! This book was really fun and engaging. Any problems I had with it were 100% my own, mainly stemming from the fact that I was so entranced by the cover that I didn't realize the book was New Adult. Which I don't usually love, but if they were all like this I might change my mind.

Mateo was a lot of fun. He was sexy (note the abs), funny, smart, and had his shit together. He's a fairly typical NA romance hero - cocky, hot and aware of it, very popular with the womenfolk, but he's also genuinely charming and a kind person. Technically, he's hiding his work identity from Teague, but it's not really a major point. It never comes up, so he doesn't technically lie about it, and he's contractually obligated to keep his identity hidden. It never really becomes a THING, which I so very much appreciated. Mateo isn't really even all that angsty over it.

Teague, on the other hand, was everything Mateo wasn't. Well, not everything. She was also smart and funny and was working on getting her shit together. But she was also a little shy, a little more socially awkward, and way less sexually experienced. At first, I wasn't sure how I was going to like Teague. I'm a little over the shy, awkward clumsy girl who blushes every time someone says a word stronger than "gollydangit" and trips and falls over her own feet every time she stands up, and that's how Teague comes across in the beginning. And she never did get over her blushing, but she grew on me anyway.

Romances like this are some of my favorites. When Mateo and Teague first meet, it's a typical lust-at-first-sight for both of them, and while Teague is pretty sure she's never going to see him again, Mateo is equally confident of the exact opposite. And he turns out to be right. Where this book drastically improved for me, though, was what happened after Mateo and Teague saw each other again. Because they actually dated. They went out on real dates, hung out together, spent the night without having sex, and got to know each other and fall in love with each other over time. Don't get me wrong; I love me some quick and dirty sex. But I also want to see what a couple loves about each other, and when they jump right into bed (or couch, or wall) and never do anything else, I have to wonder what they really see in each other besides that. Have all the hot sex you want to. Seriously, have all of it. And have it immediately. But go out to dinner once in a while, too. Sit down and actually watch a movie together. Have a conversation that doesn't involve "cock", "wet", "pussy", or "hard". Otherwise I close the book fully understanding why a couple wanted to bang, not understanding why they wanted to live together and see each other over the breakfast table every morning. 

The side characters weren't as fully developed as Mateo and Teague, but they were well done enough that I want to read more of this series and see where they go. One of Mateo's roommates in particular has a story I really want to read more of, so I hope his is coming soon. I liked everyone we met here, even Mateo's slightly overbearing mother, and that's saying something. I tend to be really hard on the characters who surround the main couple. 

Overall, I fully recommend this book. It was a delightful surprise, and I'm looking forward to reading more of this series and this author.

Loved!

I absolutely adored Mateo's voice--his cocky confidence in himself and his abilities was so much fun to read! (And made it all that much more meaningful when he started to question things he'd never questioned before!) Teague wasn't too bad herself--plus, she was so easy to identify with--really, I just had so much fun with this one. There are many, many highlighted passages in my digital version, and there may have been a few instances of snort-laughing. Though I'll never tell. ;)

The secondary characters here are a lot of fun too--Teague's BFF Harper and Mateo's roommate Levi are clearly being set up for a future series book (yay!), plus they have a third roommate (double yay!), and don't even get me started on Zoe, their six-year-old next door neighbor and the cutest kid (sadly only fictionally) alive--Ms. Bielman made them all come alive on the page, and made you want to become besties with every single one of them.

The first in a new series, Talk British to Me (and OMG, that title leads me to one of my favorite bits, at the very end) is also being referred to as a standalone, but if you really want more of these characters and don't feel like waiting for book two, Teague's the younger sister of Luke from Kissing the Maid of Honor and Erin from Wild About Her Wingman in the Secret Wishes series.

You're welcome ;)

Meet Mateo Bennett, he's the dating guy at a morning radio's LA music station, where he gives his perspective of dating, sex, love and life.
For his job he has to stay single. That's no hardship for him. Till Teague Watters shows up. She's a fresh breeze. Teague works at a coffeehouse and sucks at saying no, she's too nice.
They meet and hit it up from the start. But he doesn't tell her the truth about his and his radio show " Know the score".

Favorite Quote: " Because sometimes the thing you can't have is the thing you want - and need - the most! "
Talk British To Me is a fun read, it is well written. I loved the characters, I loved the words and I love their HEA.
I give 4,5 Stars and say thank you Robin Bielman.

Mateo is HOT, HOT, HOT! This book is one you cannot put down! Teague is a hardworking, kind hearted character who you will love and want the best for her! Mateo has a hidden career he cannot tell anyone about and Teague is no exception. Or is she? Mateo falls in love with Teague but before they can be together, Mateo has to decide what is most important to him! This is one of the best books I have read this summer and I highly recommend it!

Forget the title, folks. It’s time to talk turkey, meaning frankly, about this book. This “new to me” author did provide me with a likable, sassy, at times feisty heroine. Though it took Teague courage to speak up to her new boss and patience to keep/put Mateo on his toes, I found his arrogance to be quite distracting/disconcerting at times. He was handsome and definitely a chick magnet, who obviously knew it and used it to his advantage. In fact, he was quite proud of it. Thinking he was somehow doing a service to all of womankind with his supposedly deep reflection/insight into dating was quite ironic. Why? Well, by being a self-appointed/self proclaimed, self-sacrificing “hit it and quit it” type of guy to me he didn’t have the clout nor should have been gifted such celebrity status for being touted as an esteemed dating guru. You see, he dished out relationship advice, but he wanted nothing to do with one. In my book that makes him a hypocrite. A description which seemed to fit him on several occasions. Want some evidence? Well, here you go. Let’s start with his own words, shall we?

”Yes, I’m kind…Just because I hit it and quit it doesn’t mean I don’t treat my date like she walks on water.” (Well, for the one night they grab his attention.) What are his credentials? He got his job by sleeping with the person who hired him. He calls it dating advice. I call it being a player, poser, and a tease. IMHO, he lead Teague on while lusting after her at the same time. You know it isn’t a good sign when you want the heroine to go on a date with someone else, especially after they are intimate late in the storyline. Yeah, I really wanted her to date the guy nicknamed The Suit. If nothing else to make the hero jealous and her not feel so rejected all the time.

I don’t mean to offend others who liked all aspects of this story. At times I actually really liked the hero, but then I would be reminded of his two-faced/double life, which he put before his feelings for the heroine, despite being so wealthy he didn't even need to work. At least it ended with a groveling hero, who not surprisingly was easily forgiven.

I agree wholeheartedly with the other reviews who liken this book to “The Devil Wears Prada” meets “The Wedding Planner”. That is spot on, my fellow romance book-loving friends. Go for this one if you don’t mind the misguided/cocky hero who thinks he’s awesome and martyring himself so others can find love when he avoids it like it is a disease. I just wasn’t buying what he was selling and hated seeing the heroine repeatedly having her heart stomped on. Yeah, despite their electric chemistry there was tons of back and forth angst, as well.

The writing did flow, and I stayed engaged, but he wasn’t my ideal romantic leading man. Simply put, I felt the heroine deserved better. Frankly, she should have known better. She did often mentally resolve to not give him her heart, because he made it clear he didn't want it. At least by the end, this conflicted hero came to his senses. Btw, little to no actual british lingo seemed to be used in the making of this book.

Title: Talk British to Me, Series: Wherever You Go (Book 1), Author: Robin Bielman, Pages: 345, dual first person POV, unapologetic flirt/manho hero who doesn’t want a relationship, VERY steamy scenes with lusty language, dirty talking hero, conflicted main couple, lots of back and forth angst.

Talk British To Me was one super fun read. I was hooked right from the first chapter. The writing and storyline kept me wanting to spend my whole day reading. The plot was pretty interesting and I have to say is what ultimately drew me in.

I don't want to give away any spoilers, but it was interesting and didn't feel overdone. I really liked both main characters, Mateo and Teague. Talk about a slow burn romance! Man. The supporting cast was great as well.

I really didn't want this book to end and I would LOVE to read more about the other characters in the book. Please! I want more Harper and Levi, Elliot, and Maddison! This was my first Bielman read and I can't wait for more.

I read this book in just the span of a few hours and loved every minute of it! This is my first Robin Bielman book and now I'm wondering how it is that I've not read her work prior to this.

As much I like Teague and her genuine openness, I gotta say that Mateo is the best part of this book! He is one of the best male lead characters I've read lately, probably somewhere in my top 6 favorites. Mateo is pretty open about his desire for Teague almost from the start, but he also quickly realizes that she's not a one-and-done type young woman, but that doesn't stop him from wanting to spend time with her. But the fact that we get to actually see their relationship develop over the course of the book is fantastic. Another point in favor of Mateo is that despite his hotness (and he sounds pretty freakin' delicious), we're not subjected to a slew of females vying for his attention, so he doesn't come across as a manwhore. Granted his job and the stipulations are pretty unique, but the focus of this story is his evolving friendship with Teague.

I will say that the "breakup" wasn't all that shocking, I was surprised that's how it went down though. But I could see it from Mateo's perspective because he couldn't say anything. I enjoyed the whole wedding scene, and can't wait to find out what's going to happen with Madison, hopefully in a future book. The secondary characters bring just enough balance to the story without taking over, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Levi and Harper are the featured players of the next book, especially given the animosity that seemed to flow between them at the end of this book. And I love how the story wrapped up for Teague and Mateo and the new journey they're about to embark on. This is one book I highly recommend!

Robin Bielman is a new to me author but this book sounded like it would be good when I read the blurb and the cover is H-O-T, so that didn't hurt either. This story was so good it left me wanting more.

Mateo is a catch and he knows it, but he has a secret in that his job as a radio personality who gives advice on dating may get him in trouble when he meets the girl who is everything he didn't know he was looking for.

If you haven't read this one don't wait, one-click this baby. :)

I really enjoyed Talk British to Me by Robin Bielman. Teague Watters left her small town in Oregon after being publically dumped by her boyfriend to live and work with her best friend and former college roommate, Harper. Every Monday morning, Teague, Harper and all the customers in a coffee shop in Los Angeles where they work, stop to listen to Bennett, the Dating Guy on a morning radio show. Bennett gives out dating advice from his experiences and observations, all with a sexy British accent. One day while delivering an order from the coffee shop, Teague ends up with a second job working for Gabrielle Gallagher, a wedding planner. Somehow, Teague keeps literally bumping into Mateo Gallagher and the two decide to become friends. But Mateo has a secret; he is the man behind Bennett and due to his contract is not allowed to get serious with any girl. This put a damper on Mateo as he develops feelings for Teague and she for him. This becomes a problem which he needs to figure out how to solve.

I really enjoyed reading this book and had trouble putting this book down, reading it in one day. Ms. Bielman is a wonderful story teller drawing me into her books, making me forget the world around me. I highly recommend this book to other readers.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

While it has a slow build or burn from the beginning to the ending; Talk British To Me is spectacular. It has just the right amount of suspense and anguish to get you through an amazing story of two equally amazing characters while bringing other characters into the background that you hope to hear from soon. They each have their own stories to tell and I can't wait to hear them or better yet read them.

For now, we get a front row seat to Mateo and Teague's story to a earth shattering romance full of desire, lust and temptation. Just being friends is never going to be good enough but will either of them be strong enough to take the leap and make themselves vulnerable again; open themselves up to be deeply heart again. Both Mateo and Teague have a past that haunts them and threatens to keep them from the one person who could change their lives for the better. Will they overcome their fears and reach for something that is meant to be or will the walk away from the one thing they will come to regret; each other?

One-click this spicy, flirty, and laugh-out-loud story because it’s packed with adventure, crazy bosses, sexy men and enough heat that you’ll want to cool off in the pool or ocean. Be sure to order a plate of hot wings and a cool beer ;)!

When I first read the blurb for Talk British to Me, I knew it was something I wanted to read. I couldn't wait to get my hands on it and that cover just made me want it more! I love the characters names, Mateo and Teague. The character development is phenomenal and something I have come to expect from Robin Bielman. 

I will admit that I didn't care much for Mateo at first. He was a little too over-the-top with his cocky attitude but he grew on me. I love Teague and her sass. She wasn't persuaded by Mateo's charms and made him work to earn her affection. You can feel the sexual tension building between these two and it made for a captivating story. If you've never read Robin Bielman, you should definitely give this book a shot.

It needs to be said that Robin Bielman can write anything she sets her mind to. Talk British to Me is her first foray into the New Adult Romance genre and is the first book in her Wherever You Go series from Entangled Embrace. It’s classic Robin with a cocky, dirty talker thrown in. Yes, take a moment to sigh.

Talk British to Me features Teague Watters, who many readers met when her siblings all found love in Robin’s Secret Wishes series from Entangled Bliss. Teague has graduated from college and is ready to forge her own path, be her own person, and make her own mistakes. Along with her best friend Harper, whom she met in college, moves to Beverly Hills, California ready to live the dream. Teague works as a barista for a coffee house, while taking online courses to be a travel writer. She makes daily trips to an office building to deliver coffee to Gabrielle Gallagher, a highly sought after wedding consultant. When Gabrielle needs a new assistant, she bulldozes Teague into talking the job. While the money may be good, Gabrielle is definitely the boss from Hades. She’s rude, dismissive, and downright mean. But she’s one of the best at doing what she does.

Mateo is the voice behind Bennett, the cocky British guy who gives out love advice to millions of LA radio listeners on a weekly basis as The Dating Guy. He loves his job that involves him having to consistently go out and date women. He’s good at reading people and can have any woman he wants. He’s not looking for forever and is upfront with that. If you’re looking for one night, maybe two, he’s your man. But things are about to get a little interesting for Mateo. His world will never be the same.

While at a bar celebrating with one of his best friends and roommate, Mateo literally bumps into Teague, who has forever written all over her, and walks away with a shirt covered in hot wings sauce. In that one encounter, Mateo knows he has to know more about her. As fate would have it, they keep running into each other. But things definitely hit a rocky patch when they realize that Teague works for his mother. Oops. But have no fear, Mateo is not about to let that stop him for being with Teague. “Baby, there is nothing I’m not good at.” Hmmm. I don’t think there is. There are definitely sparks between these two and while Mateo knows that Teague needs to be with a guy who can promise her forever, he can’t seem to let her go. “When you’re ready to touch my lips, Knox, let me know, and I promise I’ll touch yours back.” Oh sigh. He did and then some.

Talk British to Me was a good read. This story had a few surprises to it. I loved the friendship that blossomed between Teague and Mateo as well as the secondary characters. Let’s just say, there are a couple who seem to have some unfinished business between them. Robin Bielman has this amazing ability to write characters that you just want to know and have be apart of your life, too bad they aren’t real. Not only does Robin write the most amazingly sweet heroes, but Mateo is a dirty talker!!!! Be still my heart. The only draw back is that he’s just a little too cocky for my tastes, but he does mellow out in the end.

I mentioned some characters having some unfinished business, I seriously can’t wait for the next book.

Imagine if you will a mash-up of The Devil Wears Prada, Hitch and one of those 1950s/1960s comedies starring Rock Hudson and Doris Day where he wants to have an affair and she wants to get married (Lover Come Back apparently). Well this book reminds me of that!

Mateo Gallagher is the son of a wealthy LA family, after a broken leg ended his soccer career before it began, and lost him his girlfriend, he began playing the field. A random one-night stand with a radio producer led to him having a morning dating radio programme called 'The Dating Guy' where he imparts his wisdom on dating and women to the world. There are three conditions: anonymity, secrecy and Mateo must stay single. As the world's greatest gift to women Mateo loves his job and it comes easy to him. He is happy with the conditions, he wouldn't want his parents to be embarrassed by what he does/ says on the radio and so he calls himself "Bennett" and fakes a British accent.

Teague Watters is the baby of her family. Coming from a small town where everyone knows her and her business she has moved to LA to be with her BFF Harley (about whom more anon), she is working in a coffee shop when she gets offered the job as assistant to wedding planner extraordinaire Gabrielle Gallagher whilst delivering coffee to Gabrielle's offices. Teague is smalltown girl writ large. But she's clever and motivated and has a 'can-do' attitude, no matter what her bitchy boss says or does.

Mateo and Teague run into each other (literally) in a bar, he is captivated, she less so. They run into each other again shortly afterwards whilst Teague is trying to deliver some wedding invitations which is when they realise that Mateo's mother is none other than Teague's new boss. Now there is even more reason for the Dating Guy to stay away from Teague, other than the fact that she has 'girlfriend material' written all over her.

This is not the book I thought it was, when I read the blurb I thought there would be a lot of Bennett's opinions on girls and dating but there are surprisingly few, like maybe six. Really this book is all about Teague, although Mateo has to go on more of an emotional journey.

With the exception of Harper (who I loathed), I loved the characters in this book and would happily read their stories. Harper was a foul-mouthed, embarrassment who could easily have got Teague fired by gate-crashing her professional engagements and acting inappropriately. I guess she was supposed to be wacky and funny but caring - she failed, she just seemed like that 'friend' who doesn't know when she's crossed the line and is really immature. Unfortunately I think she will be the subject of the next book :(

Anyhoo, I thought this was going to be a typical NA/YA novel where the guy is a jerk and the girl is a doormat (or terribly scarred from an horrific childhood trauma - take you pick) and I left it on my TBR pile until Wendy's fantastic review persuaded me to give it another chance.

Mateo is a great guy, loves kids, loves his family, does charitable work - just love him! He could be my new book toyboy!

Talk British to Me is a cute romance with a fairy-tale feel to the narrative. Beautiful barista lands an incredible job by accident and is swept off her feet by a smooth talking playboy who also happens to be her new boss's son.

Teague is a LA transplant having made a bid for independence away from her loving but over protective family. Although she considered a career in law it was soon obvious it wasn't the right choice for her, so Teague is now pursuing her dream of travel writing. While Teague's family is financially more than secure, Teague is determined to make it on her own, hence the barista position. Teague has small town girl written all over her, but her warm, caring personality and ability to put people at ease naturally make her the type of person others gravitate to. Her organisational skills and multi-tasking abilities catch the eye of one of her coffee customers when she delivers the coffee as a favour. Making Teague an assistant to the best wedding planner in the county, who also happens to be a dragon lady to work for.

Mateo is an utter dream boat whose alter ego just happens to be the dating expert on a talk radio show that Teague happens to have a huge crush on. Mateo has embraced the player persona justifying it as part of his job but also as a way of channelling his negative emotions following the bitter break-up with his long term girlfriend. Getting to know Mateo through Talk British to Me shows there is a lot more to him than he allows people to see, he is terrified that deep down he is a failure due to the loss of his soccer career and previously mentioned girlfriend.

Teague and Mateo know they aren't looking for the same things in a relationship but their attraction is undeniable. I loved watching the attraction between them give way to something deeper the more time they spent together. However, Mateo's barriers create additional problems when he is too afraid to face his growing feelings for Teague.

There is a lot going on beside the romance between Mateo and Teague, with  a wedding party destined for destruction and the choice between doing what is expected and doing what is right. I loved Teague's best friend, Harper and would love for her to get her own HEA. 

Talk British to Me is a light, quick read perfect for the wonderful for the sunny weather we are currently blessed with ♥

Teague is having quite the year. Moving to a new city, getting a new job, and being pursued by a hottie. Honest almost to a fault, people will walk over her if she's not careful. This includes her new boss.

Mateo is glad to be friends with Teague. He knows she is the forever kind. He cannot be in a committed relationship right now, or his career will be crushed. So he settles. Scared of his secrets coming to light, he makes the most of his friendship with the best friend he has had in some time.

Sexy and sweet, this book moves at a good pace and keeps the reader on the edge of their seat. There is so many surprises inside, this book is worth the read. Glad to have the humor to break up the heart crushing pieces, this story kept me turning the page!

I do not read this author as often as I would like but when I do she never fails to give me her all in a novel. I think radio people are entertaining with this one in this story being just as also. Mateo though the funny thing about him is the thing he is a expert on is not what is really happening in his own. The one that starts him going is Teague whom is on another level. Stubborn is also one of her traits. The two of them captured my attention and gave me a mix of emotions also. The chemistry will simmer also catching us also giving a bit of heat. Well rounded with other bits to go with this that is the glue that makes it perfect for any afternoon. Alter ego is the gem in this also that makes for the uniqueness that seals the deal. By the time am finished with this one I knew it was the right choice.

4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Talk British To Me is the first book I have read by Robin Bielman and it was a great first introduction to this author. The book had great energy and consistently kept your attention through out the story. If you haven't read a book by Robin Bielman this needs to be your first!

Teague has moved to LA and is trying to find her niche there. While working at a coffee shop she meets a wedding planner who holds nothing back and expects perfection. When she fires her assistant and Teague happens to be there, she is thrown into helping out and ends up with a new job.

Mateo has always been a ladies man and as the king of ladies on the radio, under the pseudo name Bennett, he is unstoppable. That is until he runs into Teague and she changes everything. There are a few problems though, one Mateo cannot date anyone while under contract for the radio station and two his mom happens to be Teague's new boss.

Teague and Mateo agree that because of her working for his mom they can't have a relationship but doesn't mean they can't be friends. As they spend more and more time together they cannot deny the attraction they have for each other, but are they willing to act on it?

Soon they will have to decide if their relationship is more important than their jobs. And if so, can they reinvent themselves for new career paths?
