Should have read instead of listened

It really was a good story line, and I usually love male readers but this one........Listen I had to force myself to keep going. I needed more emotion. You can't tell the difference from female and male part; only when he states she said or makes reference to the heroine. It was bad ya'll.

Narrator Ruined It

I'm happy this book was part of the romance package or I would have been returning the book asking for my credit back. The narration ruined it for me to where I just couldn't finish. And I tried...

Nice Story

Would you consider the audio edition of Sweet Persuasions to be better than the print version?

I've only listened to the audio book.

What other book might you compare Sweet Persuasions to and why?

Not quite sure.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

I really wished it would have been a male voice for the leading male and a female for the leading female character.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I was emotionally tied. I loved the story.

Any additional comments?

I wished the story was longer for Xavier and Selena and I wasn't so keen on what seems like to me an abrupt ending,however, I have the feeling that this will lead into another book featuring Kenyon and Mia.

Terrible Narrator!

The book was OK, but the narrator was awful! His reading style was unnatural, and his pauses were random way too long. He probably added 30 minutes listening time with the weird pauses. It was like a 3-4 second pause after every 5-7 words not just author intended pauses that were marked with punctuation. His voices were ok, but this was a difficult listen.

Ok book but bad narrator.

This story was ok but I found it seemed to be missing so of the story and it seemed rushed. I did not like the voice of the narrator. She sounded like a robot and very off-putting.

Beautiful

At first I didn’t think I would like the book or the narrator. I was so wrong!! This is a beautiful love story and the narrator fit perfectly. Sometimes it pays not to adhere to negative reviews. I absolutely love the story and will follow this author more.

Couldn’t do it

Look I suffered through the horrible narration of Sweet Temptation, but I can’t do it again. Rochelle, you really need to get better narrators. The story is probably really good, but I just can’t listen to this.

Good story, uninspired narration

Loved the story, however the narration was boring and uninspired (sorry). But I did enjoy the storyline.

Smart and Sassy

I line the simplicity of Sweet Persuasions. Selena's sassiness was fitting for Xaviers tough personality.
