Good clean story

I liked the story. I feel like a lot was left out between meeting & happily ever after. I would have preferred more of that and less pre-marriage story. The virtual voice reading is absolutely painful. You can’t tell which character is speaking, there’s either no inflection or completely wrong, it causes you to get lost occasionally. I can’t stand it & if this is what audio books is going to I’m going to have to stop listening all together. Very sad since it’s pretty much the only kind of books I can “read” these days.
