Misconduct

By: Penelope Douglas

Narrated by: Carrie Brach, Guy Locke

Length: 11 hrs and 1 min

Publisher's summary

Former tennis player Easton Bradbury is trying to be the best teacher she can be, trying to reach her bored students, and trying to forget her past. What brought her to this stage in her life isn't important. She can't let it be. But now one parent-teacher meeting may be her undoing....

Meeting Tyler Marek for the first time makes it easy for Easton to see why his son is having trouble in school. The man knows how to manage businesses and wealth, not a living, breathing teenage boy. Or a young teacher, for that matter, though he tries to. And yet there is something about him that draws Easton in - a hint of vulnerability, a flash of attraction, a spark that might burn. Wanting him is taboo. Needing him is undeniable. And his long-awaited touch will weaken Easton's resolve - and reveal what should stay hidden.

Critic reviews

"This whole book is HOT." (Samantha Young, author of Valentine)

Need different narrators

Narrators voice sounds like she's in 50s or 60s Not a young girl and reads quickly and doesn't flow well

Love the story, not the female narrator

I like Guy Locke so he's not the issue for me. This is the first book narrated by Carrie Brach that I've listened to and it will probably be my last. She was so monotone and robotic that during Easton's parts I found myself tuning out. She sounded like Robot Theater from the old "Red Eye" show.

This is the only book of Penelope Douglas that I haven't read first before listening to it. I was completely blind to the story going in. I enjoy the story. I just wish the female narrator was different.

Couldn’t get past the narration 😞

The story is very interesting and Penelope Douglas is one of my favorite authors but I just couldn’t get past the female narrator. She’s not terrible but terrible for this character. Her voice is for an older woman not someone in her early 20s. I don’t think her voice is geared for romance books because in reality her voice is just not sexy. I honestly couldn’t finish the book. I fast forward to the end to see what happened but didn’t listen to the whole thing.

Great Story

What did you love best about Misconduct?

Penelope Douglas did a great job building up the characters. You want to feel for and with them.

What did you like best about this story?

I really liked the story line.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Carrie Brach and Guy Locke ?

Probably not. As odd as this probably sounds they just didn't sound anything like how I envisioned the characters. Plus not a lot of emotion was put into the narration.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

In Esten's classroom when Jack was talking to her. I was like Nooooooo.... and then they went outside and I was like NOOOOOOOO....... Very emotional.

Any additional comments?

I love this book. The narration was not one of my favorites but the story itself was perfect.

Not her best book.

I’ve listened to almost all of this author’s other books, and while I really enjoyed the other books, this one fell short. Not a lot of depth to the characters or story. It almost reads as a first draft, still waiting for more to be added. The narrators were fine, not my favourite, but overall they were fine. The female narrator seemed too old to be reading for a 23 year old girl, lacked enthusiasm.

loved this

I loved this book a few things were very unexpected but I did enjoy the little plot twist here and there

Great story meh narration

What a great story. It was very enjoyable however the narrators sucked. It would have been so much better with different actors/narrators. Very well written.

loved it!

loved the storyline, the actors and it kept my attention. would recommend It! looking forward to other books by this author.

Just Okay

It took awhile for me to get really get into the story because of the narrators. One is too fast, and the other is too slow.

Finally an original storyline!

I'm so tired of reading the same romance story over and over again just with a different title. Please, no more 'he can't have the girl because she's his best friend's sister' stories! Thanks for the original storyline, keep writing!
