Story
Elsie and her two best friends made a childhood vow to never marry. But when Elsie begins her first season in London, her mother presents her with an irresistible bargain: If she says yes to each and every man's invitations and still remains unattached by the end of the season, she will receive her inheritance and become a free woman. She's thrown into the spotlight by increasing attention in the newspaper gossip articles. Keeping her end of the bargain seems impossible - especially when her best friend's tyrant of a brother begins to make advances that Elsie literally cannot refuse.

Traditional style Regency with Robotic voice
I was curious about Virtual Voice snd chose this story to listen. Reading is Clear but uninflected so you have to pay attention as there is No difference between characters. Not pleasing to listen in that the voice misses Emotional moments, runs dialogue together, is monotone, etc. the best that can be said is that you can hear the words clearly. Story is typical of traditional Regency - no heat.

The animatronic voice
I didn’t finish this book because the artificial narrating voice was so cold and expressionless. I se that disclaimer on several books lately, so I hope some of the voices are more human than this one.

Not a Fan of Virtual Voice
This was a good story, however, it was distracting to listen to the virtual voice. I don't think a computer can be trained for all the nuances a real person can express.

Not a fan of the AI narration
The robotic, monotone narration detracted from the story. I really did not like it at all.

Virtual voice ruined this book for me
The story was fine, but the lack of nuance and expression in the virtual voice really stood out and was very off putting. I will likely never buy another book using virtual voice.
