The Captain

Chesterboro University, Book 1

De: Josie Blake

Narrado por: Alex Mortensen, Louise Brenner

Cord Spellman might be everyone's Prince Charming, but I'm only his fake Cinderella.

Since my dad died and my mom bailed, I've been living in a trailer park, barely making ends meet. I can take care of myself, as demonstrated by my acceptances to a handful of elite music graduate programs. So what if funding my success has meant sacrificing my college social life?

That's why Cord's offer is perfect. The hot hockey star has playoffs coming up. He doesn't have time for girls, especially his cheating ex who's determined to get back together with him. He needs to focus on his game, so he asks me to divert the attention—as his fake girlfriend.

I pretend to be in love with him and get a taste of the party life before graduation. Cord is free to concentrate on hockey. But when the line blurs between what's real and what's fake, can we create our own fairy tale ending?

Likable characters

Female voice was just ok. Loved the characters. Not as steamy as expected, but interesting story line mixing hockey and the music industry.

Bad narrators

The narrators killed this story for me. I put it down and picked it up over and over trying to get past them but I just couldn’t. The female narrator just sounds completely snotty or mad through everything and I think that wasn’t how it was written so it threw off everything. Wouldn’t recommend on audible but try reading it yourself.

narrators killed it for me

story was fine, I liked the variations from the normal trope. but the narrators, especially the MMC was just awful. beyond the lisp he had, the mispronouncing of common words was incredibly distracting.

the lag

the narration is horrible. it honestly sounds like virtual voice. I don't know if I'll be able to continue listening. it's beyond bad.
