Can't Help Falling

De: Cara Bastone

Narrado por: Wayne Mitchell

The more you resist,

the deeper you’ll fall

Serafine St. Romain doesn’t need her psychic powers to know she’s no longer in Tyler Leshuski’s good graces. True, she did tear him to pieces when he asked her out, accusing him of being shallow and selfish. Despite the energy crackling between them, the gorgeous sports writer is a no-strings, no-kids kind of guy. And Serafine, raised in the foster system, intends to be a foster parent herself. She won’t compromise that dream, even for a man as annoyingly appealing as Tyler.

In a simpler world, Tyler would already have gotten Serafine out of his system. For him, women equal fun. Not this kind of bone-deep, disconcerting desire. Life gets even more complicated when he becomes the guardian of his much younger sister. Suddenly, he’s way out of his depth. Serafine’s the only person who can connect with Kylie. He can’t jeopardize that for a fling.

But maybe…just maybe…he’s finally ready to risk everything on forever.

A good listen overall

I agree with other reviews that the narrator does not do well with the voices of women and children. He went too strong on accents, BUT the the two main characters are good. The emotion the narrator portrays at the end is excellent. All prior annoyances are forgiven by the end of the book. It’s a sweet story.

Never again, Wayne!

Awful narration! I was on a road trip and went straight from book one to this horrid piece of narration. 10 grueling hours! I just couldn’t take it anymore after 5 hours. Rarely will I ask for a refund but it’s a must on this one.

Why change narrators!!

First of all, the story is good. I always enjoy Cara Bastone books. But in the first book we have already gotten to know all of the characters pretty well. They felt like friends. Then the second book with a whole new narrator, completely shreds that. Why? If the characters are the same then the narrator should also stay the same. It took me a long while to get used to these “new” character voices. It was pretty jarring at first though especially since it felt like Wayne was yelling at me the whole first half of the book.

Oof - The Narrator

I read the reviews for the first book and since some of the reviews described the sex scenes as raunchy when I truly thought it was done classily and just normal sex between two people who waited a long time before they 'did it' - I decided to take a chance on ignoring all of the reviews on this narrator. Buuuut they were right. Regardless of what borough or city they are supposed to come from ... who SOUNDS like these characters in real life? Sounds like the narrator really doesn't like women or children if this is how he thinks they sound.

Cartoonish narration ruined the story

I actually don't know how the story ended up because I couldn't finish listening due to terrible narration. Cartoonish accents and hideous female voices, especially for Fin who sounded like Matthew McConaughey at his absolute creepiest. Actually nothing in this series lives up to Cara Bastone's usual wit.

Bad narration.

The story was cute, much like the one before it but what nearly ruined it for me was the narrator. He gave all the characters such an awful, over exaggerated New York accent and it was super annoying to listen to. I have an inability to leave a story unfinished so I powered through it anyway, but be warned!

love the story HATE the narration.

I really enjoy Cara Bastones books, but this one was difficult listen to. The narrator makes every female and child sound like they have speech impediments. Having listened to another book with the same characters, narrated well, made this even more difficult. Please use a different narrator in the future!

Sorry but…..

I love the book but was not crazy about the narrator. I am sorry but his women voices were atrocious!

Another well written Bastone book!

I struggled with the first 90 minutes, primarily from the narrator, but then the story overruled that issue. And then I enjoyed it to the very end, enjoying it more and more with each passing page.

Absolutely Loved it

Loved the storyline. I found it funny and heart warming. Would recommend to friends and family
