Ok book but bad narrator.

This story was ok but I found it seemed to be missing so of the story and it seemed rushed. I did not like the voice of the narrator. She sounded like a robot and very off-putting.

Narrator Ruined It

I'm happy this book was part of the romance package or I would have been returning the book asking for my credit back. The narration ruined it for me to where I just couldn't finish. And I tried...

Great

I really liked this book and would recommend it. It had a great storyline and sexual storyline. I wish this book was a movie or TV show. The couple was great together. I would liked to have heard more about how their families liked each of them and his sister reaction to know she was the lady in her brother's life and how her brothers liked him. I would like to know how her Grandma liked him and his mother liked her.

Smart and Sassy

I line the simplicity of Sweet Persuasions. Selena's sassiness was fitting for Xaviers tough personality.

Beautiful

At first I didn’t think I would like the book or the narrator. I was so wrong!! This is a beautiful love story and the narrator fit perfectly. Sometimes it pays not to adhere to negative reviews. I absolutely love the story and will follow this author more.

Terrible Narrator!

The book was OK, but the narrator was awful! His reading style was unnatural, and his pauses were random way too long. He probably added 30 minutes listening time with the weird pauses. It was like a 3-4 second pause after every 5-7 words not just author intended pauses that were marked with punctuation. His voices were ok, but this was a difficult listen.

Should have read instead of listened

It really was a good story line, and I usually love male readers but this one........Listen I had to force myself to keep going. I needed more emotion. You can't tell the difference from female and male part; only when he states she said or makes reference to the heroine. It was bad ya'll.
