A Summer Mismatch

De: Kaylee Baldwin

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

He’s an irresistible vet who keeps everyone at a distance. She’s a children’s book author in a small beach town. Their families are archrivals, but the forbidden has never looked so sweet.

Logan Kent is the one man I should stay away from.

His grandpa ruined my family’s business. Or maybe my grandpa ruined his family’s business. It depends on who you ask, but businesses were wrecked.

Yet when I run into him (literally) on one of the worst days of my life, it only takes one smile (and one sniff of his should-be-illegal, divine cologne) for me to fall head over heels.

Not only does he smell good (trust me, he does), he’s great with kids, elephants, and my brother, Cameron, who is staying with me for the summer.

But I can’t fall for Enemy Number One.

My grandma seems determined to matchmake us—even if her methods are straight out of the Most Dramatic Season Ever of my favorite show.

Too bad our grandpas will do anything to separate us, even if it tears us all apart.

Star-crossed lovers has a nice ring to it, right?

For readers who love sweet and steamy kisses, scheming matchmakers, and wished Romeo and Juliet had more alligators, elephants, antics, and a swoony happily ever after.

The best of the series

I’ve listened to the entire series and in particular a few of them multiple times but to this book 4 times. It’s such a cute feel good book.

Say no to AI

I love this sweet story. However, I did not enjoy the AI narration, very mechanical and there’s a definite loss of emotion in the delivery. Please go back to using humans.

Eclectic story

I did not like Virtual Voice, but I made myself finish the book. I did find the grandparents storyline very humorous.

Adorable story, please give the writer the voice artists she deserves!

Really enjoyed the antics of the characters in this book! The author deals with some difficult issues with knowledge and heart. I’m looking forward to the rest of the series!

HOWEVER- the AI reader is terrible. It can’t tell the difference between “read” (red) and “read” (reed), and apparently the editors missed almost every mispronunciation as well as some others. It kept giving the male characters a high-pitched voice. It flatlined a lot of emotional parts. The writing is too good to be butchered by virtual voice.

Summer

This was a fun and hilarious book of a grandmother trying to match her granddaughter to her grandfather old business partner's grandson. There is bitterness and distrust, so it's a little tricky. It's hilarious how this group of grandparents try to matching there grandkids.

Hilarious (clean) summer romcom

Oh my goodness, this story was delightful and funny. I loved the grandparents and their meddling ways. So funny!
Just a cute summer read.
It was perfect for after the book with heavy material I had just finished.
