Book1 is a force for book 2

Really liked this book and for some reason (my own fault) I failed to realize this was one of those book 123 deals where the book doesn't seem to end so much as just stop and train wreck at s climactic point.
But if you like purchasing several books to listen to a story then know that this one is a pretty good story line where you root for first one romantic love and then fall for the other not sure which is right or wrong or the real love.

I have read this book and I just finished listening to it. I love this series. The person reading it leaves something to be desired, but the story is great!

The Book is amazing! Voice is not my favorite though

I would totally recommend this book if you like a good romance. The only part I didn’t love is the voices. But totally recommend this book!

Was the narrator Siri?

The story is good. Hunger games meets the bachelor. The narrator’s voice is super monotone, sounds like a digital recording and there is little to no personality that comes through in the characters from her lack of vocal expression. At first I didn’t think I could continue to listen. After about 1/2 way, the story had me hooked enough that I did get used to it.

I did not care for the reader at all.

Her voice was breathy without any emotion, and sometimes hard to pay attention to. She doesn’t speak like a normal person, but an AI with a “female voice” programmed to this. But the story was amazing. I don’t want to give any spoilers, so, read i, and find out for yourself.

Love this book… the voice not so much

I had already read this book and loved it! I decided to buy it on audible so I can listen to it in the car. The girls voice sounds robotic… it is weird and a bit annoying.
