Bleeding ears
A good story line is severely disrupted by the narrators ability to make every character sound like a combination of Gilbert Godfrey and Moaning Myrtle.
So sweet
Just a very well written adorable tale of a boy who meets a girl. Just enough drama that you dont get overwhelmed with the thought just get together already!. A good read/listen for anyone wanting to get caught up in some good emotions lol. Great narrative too. Keeps the voices very distinctive for each character. Loved it.
Another Good Story. Another Bad Narration.
Another good book in the series. Like all good new adult romances, there was angst, emotional growth, and tender moments. Though I enjoyed the story, the narration wasn't the best. Still, I liked the story enough to jump into the next book in the series.
Narrator Ruined it.
This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
someone who can stand bad narration. I think the story line was decent but narrator sounded like a whiney mess when doing female characters and an old man when doing males.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Eva Kantor?
Just about anyone, but Joyce Bean, Julia Whelan and Kate Russell are a few favorites. a strong, sexy male voice, like Sebastian York's
You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Story line was decent, but not consistent. I would have listened to the whole of it if I could get past narration.
Liked the book, narrator not so much
Any additional comments?
Eva Kantor couldn't pull a male voice very well, so I wouldn't have been able to finish this book if I wasn't that invested in the characters. Audrey was an unlikable character in the first book, Broken Rules, so I was intrigued on her character redemption in this book. Jace is the softer side of Jaxon - not so alpha-ish - so I wanted to see how his character developed as well. Putting a skittish heroine with a sweet and gentle Hero actually works. I don't get that Lane did not find Audrey attractive and/or liked her more than he would a sister, maybe he did in the beginning and I will get that back story in Book 3. It's worth the my time as to "worth the credit" it doesn't apply because I borrowed the book and audio through kindeunlimited. I will not buy it now, because I don't think I will read it again though. I would have given this book 4.5 stars if there was a different male narrator.
