The story progressed rather slow, the narration was ok but the voices lacked differentiation. While hot for one voice the sultry whispered narration for everything got old after a few hours. The story is good enough that I’m not going to ask for my credit back, but probably not good enough to continue the series or listen to again, which is disappointing because I prefer series. Maybe in the future pair this narrator with someone who can do a younger voice, someone who does more than sultry. There’s a line that says he yelled or raised his voice in frustration, that line was not said with anything resembling a raised voice. Throwing someone out of your house or hotel room while your heart is breaking, you’re gonna show some emotion in your words. Not this guy. The narration wasn’t bad, honest. It just didn’t help the story. And the story! Good grief! Even knowing it was going to be a HEA, I was convinced one or both of them were going to mess things up in such a colossal way that the other would give up(not give in). Angst is needed, but dang honey! This was way too much.
For me the first 2 books in the series were good, not great. They did not draw me in to the series, have me rooting for anybody, it was just a book I was glad to finish. However, that shouldn’t surprise me. I’ve listened to 3 or 4 other books by this author that could have been soooo much better with a little more experience and a better/ more emotive narrator. Both of y’all, keep it up, level up, I know you can both do better. if I could I’d give 3.5 stars all across. Anything lower than 3 stars and I’ve returned it. 4 stars gets nothing but praise from me. When I know you’re trying and can do better but I’m not surprised it’s disappointing, yeah, 3-3.5 stars.
