Sexy and interesting!

Great new concept. I like the secondary couple more than the main one though. Mischka doth protest too much! The killer of the story was super creepy. I will be listening to the next in the series to see what happens next.

On the Fence Here....

Ok.. The story was just awesome... But.... Narration can literally kill a good, a really good story. However, that being said, the narrator was not bad at all, it was just a horrible recording session, I think... This was an awesome beginning to a paranormal romance... (my faves by the way) where these fallen angels have to find there mates to get back into heaven. The Fallen Angels are goblins and they have the power of granting bonds with humans. The twist is, Arch Angel Micheal is not so nice, all the Fallen have never found a mate, and the smex was simply great!!!

The recording was just horrid though... I even think some of the chapters were missing a few paragraphs. The Narrator was not bad at all, but it did not sound like a professional narration. You could hear the narrator breathing, pausing, licking her lips and all kinds of stuff.. I even think I hear someone ruffles some paper once or twice. So really bad recording session. I somehow finished it though and glad I did... was a great book. I am looking forward to the next one...I just hope they clean up the recording session a bit.

Don't buy...wait for a credit.

Terrible narrator

Absolutely the wrong choice for reading this book. Mispronounced words and strange pauses. You're better off reading the book.

Plot synopsis intrigued me

The reviews were mixed but I tried it. Listening to the narration was excruciating. The voice of the narrator was infantile. The delivery was uneven with inappropriate pauses. I couldn't get through the first chapter

Horrible Narrator!!!!

It is a good thing Anne Marsh can write so well! The narrator was horrible. Pausing in the wrong spots, mispronouncing words and mixing up when to use which voice. It almost ruined the whole book. Also, the audio editing was awful. Sentences were cut off and you could hear the narrator swallowing through the whole book. Great story with a lot of detail that made it come to life. I would love to hear this book again with a male narrator.

I will never listen to another book narrated by Kellie Kamryn ever again.

Narration Terrible.

Would you try another book from Anne Marsh and/or Kellie Kamryn?

Yes. The story is nice.

What other book might you compare Bond with Me to and why?

Any other cheesy paranormal romance.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The Narrator did a terrible job. I could not get into the story with her narrating it. She is monotone with no emotion. Sounded like a middle school kid reading out loud in class.

What would have made this romance irresistible?

Better narration.

Any additional comments?

Just read the book. Don't get the audio.

Overall good story

I've read this book years ago so was excited to listen to it. I loved the story line & the narration was pretty good. The biggest drawback is that they need to fix the audio file. There are several places where it skips much like CDs used to. I tried uninstalling & redownoading the book but it skipped in the same spots.

Narrator?

Narrator could barely read. Orange mis-pronounced "or-ange" in the first chapter the woman read. Speed of reading changed, awkward phrasing. Couldn't listen at all.

Story ruined by narrator

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Good paranormal story ruined by narrator

Would you recommend Bond with Me to your friends? Why or why not?

No, I couldn't stand narrator, she sounded like my kid sister. Popping and craclking in the background made the recording sound like a high school production.

What didn’t you like about Kellie Kamryn’s performance?

Lack of emotion... The recording sounded like my kid sister reading me a bedtime story.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment could of been a good story and start to new series.

Amateur Recording - Self published maybe?

I'll start with the good points. The story itself is pretty good. The premise behind the fallen angels and heavenly politics is quite creative. Some parts are purposefully (at least, I'm pretty sure it's purposefully) vague to inspire you to keep reading the series. The fallen angels are "learning as they go along", so it only makes sense that the readers are learning about the greater picture at the same pace that the Fallen are.

The writing isn't bad, although there are places that could use some work, particularly with the dialogue. There were also a few problems here with the author staying true to her world building and setting. The book is set in Russia in 2090 or thereabouts, but there are several references that are strictly present day American colloquialisms.

There is plenty of sex and swearing, but each sex scene is, in general, mercifully brief. There's a lot of talk about fulfilling fantasies, and a few (3 I believe) scenes with voyeurism, but most of the actual sex is pretty vanilla. In all honesty though, when it comes to sex scenes, it's hard for me to separate the writing from the narration, because when reading sex, the narrator really needs to do it well or the whole scene comes off sounding ridiculous.

Which brings me to the narration. I'm afraid you would have a hard time convincing me that this is a professional recording. It sounds as though there was no attempts at all to edit this recording, not even "self editing" by the reader. We hear all of her numerous pauses (almost like a reader who loses her place and has to find it again), sometimes mid-sentence. We hear her swallow, things shuffling in the background. There are a few jerks and pauses in the recording itself, as if someone shut off the recording device and then turned it back on later, but I can only think this was the narrator taking a break rather than any attempt at editing. All in all, the recording sounds like something done in the narrator's spare time, sitting at home with her computer microphone and a manuscript. There was also little attempt to change tone of voice to represent different characters, and what there was of that was not consistent. If she made an attempt to narrate the mood (ie. using an excited voice for an action scene) I didn't notice. While the readers voice was pleasant enough, her actual reading was pretty amateur. I honestly don't like to be cruel, but it's pretty obvious to me that narration isn't Kellie Kamryn's calling. Perhaps though with some voice coaching to teach her how to do a wider range of voices and accents, as well as a decent editor, but as it stands, I will avoid books she reads in the future.

Personally, if I had to do it over again, I would have bought the written version.
