Excellent story good performance.

This is an erotic and interesting story, well written, and surprisingly well read by the virtual voice. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the reading was done. Except for a few mispronounced words - mostly notably one of the lead characters - the voice was pleasant and well enunciated. Unfortunately the AI voice had difficulty with Isa, pronouncing her name as EE-sa, A-sa, and I-sa. Clearly it needs some instruction there. A few other words could simply have been the result of the “nationality” of the virtual voice. But the story survived this very well making for an excellent “read”.

It's alright

Another fine pseudoincestuous harem novel from Anya Merchant.

This series consists of three very short books. I'm not entirely sure why they weren't put together into one large book; I'm guessing so it's easier to feature cover art of each of the three women separately.

The plot was ok, and I appreciate that some elements carried over from book to book, being resolved later. Not everything felt satisfactorily resolved though.

There were suggestions that some BDSM play would be coming - but that never went anywhere, sadly.

There were a few typos. The book could have benefited from some more editing.

As for the Virtual Voice, I have mixed feelings. The narration was better than expected, surprisingly lifelike - although it mangles pronounciations of some words. I appreciate that tools like Virtual Voice can make books accessible that otherwise would only be available in print. But it seems like perhaps that should be an Amazon feature where readers can opt to have Kindle books read out loud, instead of a feature where authors can put books on Audible as if they are true audiobooks. Also, Virtual Voice seems fine for nonfiction, but for erotic novels like this, it falls flat - there are no character voices, and it can't have emotion or intensity. Also, there are ethical concerns about AI tools like this, both in potentially infringing on taking people's intellectual property, and on depriving people of jobs. All told, it was ok, but I wish the author had paid a voice actor instead.

Slow developing

Took too long to get into the meat of the story. The metallic generated narration took a great deal out of the story. It often was difficult to determine which character was talking.

Terrible

waste of time and money/credit

story feels like it was written by ai and worst off its read by an ai voice that pauses at awkward moments and using the same monotone voice for all the characters.

this is a huge lazy cash grab
