loved it!

I enjoyed listening to this story from beginning to end. or always kept me guessing what was going to happen next. The actor who reads it does a very nice job... never a dull moment.

such a good book!

I absolutely loved this book! I was able to play it in my head like a movie! the narrator did a fantastic job as well. I loved the clean romance!

Amazing story!

It’s been a long time where I’ve enjoyed a story where I’ve invested my time since time is so precious. I loved the main characters. I laughed, smiled and cried. That to me makes a story, when one can immerse oneself into the world the author created and true care about the main characters. The narrator was wonderful. They can either make or break an audible book. All I can say is thank you. I would love to read your other works. Keep writing, please.

Terrible

Most annoying voice - the main character is impossibly dumb for all she is supposed to be well read and educated ! I scanned through the end as it was impossible to listen for more than 10 minutes without getting a headache !

Narration is terrible

There isn't much worse than a fake British accent. This is a DNF. It's slow, the female lead character is annoying, and the narrator is horrible.

Different narrator

The story was ok and kept my attention for the most part. However, the narrator was another story. The pitch was one thing, but she also kept mispronouncing words and her tone would be completely opposite from what the story said. When someone was supposed to be serious her voice would be light or teasing.

Couldn’t get finish this book

The story started out well but ended up frustrating me by chapter 6 or so. I tried to hang in there but couldn’t. The narration was horrific and almost painful to listen to. The storyline started out well but then dipped.

Good book but a little slow

It was a nice plot and I enjoyed the book but the reader had an interesting accent that didn’t sound right. And the plot was a little slow but overall I enjoyed it.
