Dear Daddy, Please Praise Me

Naughty or Nice Series

De: Luna David, Amy Bellows

Narrado por: Tristan James

Dear Santa, I want a Daddy who will take care of me....

Sanders doesn't believe he'll actually find a Daddy through a dating app. He's not much to look at, and his life is a mess. A Daddy would never be interested in someone like him. But he's lonely.

He hasn't been kissed for three long years.

Briggs moved to the small tourist town of Red Canyon, Utah, to get away from his fast-paced life in Chicago. But he also moved away from most of his dating prospects. Downloading a dating app seems like an obvious choice. The boy he messages is sweet, nervous, and drinks up every word of praise Briggs gives him. But he's too nervous to meet face to face, claiming that Briggs won't like him as much in person.

How can Briggs convince his boy that he's everything a Daddy could ask for?

Contains mature themes.

Loved the story, HATED the narration.

This is an awesome book. I love the story, the dynamics between the characters, and it's a nice change to have a NICE Daddy rather than one who is constantly punishing his boy for minor infractions. (Those can be good too, but it was a lovely change of pace)
The narration, however, was atrocious. I've listened to audiobooks with the virtual voice that were better than this. The inflections were off, the monotone reading made the steamy scenes less impactful (which is a shame because they would have been some of the hottest scenes I've read) and the voices for different characters were either too similar, or changed wildly throughout. (Sanders was fine in the beginning, but his dialogue became almost cartoonish by the halfway point). I have to agree with another reviewer who said it seemed like the narrator was reading the book for the first time and following along with his finger, reading one word at a time. It was annoying and unnatural.
I almost wish I had read this on my own rather than listening to it here. I'll be reading more from these authors, but probably not this narrator.

What in the world??

Dear Daddy, Please Praise Me is probably one of my all-time favorite books and to say I was excited to see it on Audible is an understatement. The narration of this book is TERRIBLE!!! It sounds like the narrator skipped the part where he’s supposed to read the book a few times before he begins the narration because his voice sounds like he’s pointing to each word as he reads it! There are no voice differentiations between characters and inflections are all in the wrong places. There is NOTHING enjoyable about this audio book. I’ll be sure to skip Tristan James from now on. I’m still debating on returning this and getting another book by these authors, that way I can still support them.

Enjoyed it

This was one of my favorite from this holiday series. Love both authors so much and good narration.

Absolutely one of my favorite books & I was so very excited when I discovered the audio had been released!! Not sure how I missed it … until I started listening 😶 The narrator sounds very like an automaton, completely devoid of emotion throughout a very emotional story!! The inflections were all wrong and it just wasn’t enjoyable at all. The 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒚 reason I finished and didn’t return 𝘋𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘋𝘢𝘥𝘥𝘺, 𝘗𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘗𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘔𝘦, is because I adore these two authors and will always support A. Bellows. I have listened to many good books from Tantor; however, I will likely be avoiding Tristan James from this point.

Fabulous

I became a fan of this narrator in previous installments of this author’s books. When you read the story it’s awesome add a voice and it’s a new level of wow.

Sweet and Steamy

If you love a carring daddy, then you'll love this story with an amazing daddy. Narration is great with a distinction between characters. I would highly recommend this one.

Meh

I had high hopes for this story. I found it to be light fluff. However, the narrator made listening to this book just a hair’s breath from painful. All the characters sound almost the same and there was no real feeling in his reading and interpretation of the characters or the story. Hopefully practice will make perfect. I won’t be listening to this narrator again anytime soon.

I can’t with this narrator

The story is fine, very cheeky and innocent. But I can’t take anything Tristan James says seriously. He ruined it for me.

Not a fan of the Narration

The storie was cute but there were several times I had to stop.istening because the narrator was almost robotic. It ruined much of the story for me.

Love the story, hate the narration.

The narrator used the same voice for all the characters and it got monotonous quickly. But the story itself was both hot and sweet. It kept me listening to the end to hear the conclusion.
