Amazing story and voice work

I just listened to this straight through. I couldn't stop. The story was adorable and you couldn't help but root for love! The voice performance was great and lovely to listen to.

A Fast, Fun Romantic Trip & No Layovers Required

This is a swift-paced and entertaining escape of a story, a good de-stressor for an evening or two. Tye and Carina have an intriguing dynamic that will keep you curious as the plot moves along. I enjoyed seeing the ways outside circumstances changed them juxtaposed against some of the ways they actively chose to change; it was a nice blend. I’m new to Stone’s work, but I appreciated that she wrote about a couple whose path didn’t follow some of the usual, straightforward romance novel conventions.

Listening to the story was lovely. The characters were well voiced and distinctive. The only difficulty in listening to this as an audiobook was in the structure of the story. The timeline bounces between the present and the past frequently, and I’m not sure that framework leans itself as naturally to narration as it might to text. However, the narrator/performer kept everything very smooth, so you never lost a listening step as to whose voice was whose, no matter the time period. He also did a very nice job with feminine voices, which, sadly, is not always the case with male-read audiobooks. The obvious highlight in the voice work was his characterization of Tye; that was a total standout. He made Tye very appealing, and that’s always a plus if the male romantic lead character is one you want to hear more of!

All in all, it’s an enjoyable listening experience, and fun for a quick mental vacation from your everyday life. If you need that break, this might be for you. It’s definitely cheaper than a plane ticket, and far more relaxing than dealing with the airport or the TSA!

What is this? 😕

This is a really hard review to write. I have enjoyed other books by Lita Stone but I don't know about this book. The story line would be best served to a preteen or teen audience. However, the language and subject matter would be classified as 'erotic', but it is such a mishmash of random thoughts. The main themes were religious guilt and outrageous behavior that would bring on the guilt. A love child kept from his father and the anger/guilt from that.

The narration was o.k. but the performance could not save the story.

Credit worthy? I would not use credit to purchase this [again.]
Warnings: very strong language and crude descriptions of sex
